Get To Know The Vegan And Non-Vegan Ingredients In Cosmetics!

Vegan is a prefix to any item made without animal-derived ingredients or doing any cruelty to animals. Vegan diets, cosmetics, clothing, accessories, and other products are in vogue as compassionate people have become conscious of the cruelty shown to animals. Using vegan products can control animal cruelty and help maintain the natural ecosystem.

All cosmetic manufacturers want to add specific features or properties to their end products, such as lip wear (sticks, balms, glosses), nail and hair lacquers, moisturizers, face treatments, deodorants, anti-aging applications, sparkling makeup products (such as sparkly lip gloss for women), soaps, etc. So, they use different ingredients to bring those attributes into different personal care items. Following is the brief

Non-Vegan Ingredients

The non-vegan cosmetic products typically contain one or more of the following ingredients,

• carmine (red colorant derived from insects), 
• shellac (lac bug resin), 
• animal fat glycerine, 
• casein (made from cow's milk),
• guanine (scales of dead fish), 
• animal fat oleic acid, squalene (shark liver oil), 
• lanolin (emollient derived from sheep wool), 
• animal hair in brushes (extracted from fox, stable, horse, goat, mink, and squirrel), 
• stearic acid derived from the stomachs of pigs, cows, and ships, 
• collagen derived from animal tissue, bones, skin, or ligaments, 
• elastin proteins extracted from the muscles, ligaments, and aortas of animals, 
• keratin from the hair and horns of animals, 
• and fragrance oils derived from the organs of animals (deer, sea animals).

Vegan Ingredients 

The manufacturers of vegan & cruelty-free cosmetics or other items use the material derived from plants and other natural sources. The raw materials are also chemical-free besides cruelty-free. They include organic essential oils, carrier oils, natural cosmetic butter, tinctures, plant extracts, plant parts, honey, beeswax, soy wax, natural color pigments, and others.

However, some brands are known for their vegan cosmetics. They have sourced different botanical alternatives for all the above ingredients derived from the animals. The manufacturers of vegan & cruelty-free cosmetics use 

• Plant oils such as coconut, olive, jojoba, and others,
• Natural butter such as cocoa, shea, etc.,
• Vegetable glycerin derived from soya, coconut oil, or palm oil,
• Plant-based milk for proteins in hair conditioners and face treatments,
• Vegan squalene from olives and wheat germ,
• Oleic acid fat from coconut, olives, and other nuts, seeds, and kernels of the plants,
• Synthetic hair in brushes,
• Vegan stearic acid from plant fats,
• Soya protein and almond oil for keratin and collagen,
• Hyaluronic acid and MSM for elastin,
• Soy wax for emulsions,
• Nanocrystals of plant-based cellulose for glitter in makeup products, including sparkly lip gloss for women in place of fish scales.

Today's women have options for safe vegan cosmetics whose use is in the interest of their health and goes with their conscience. Why not grab this chance by ordering these?
