COSMETICS Vegan beauty

Going Green with Vegan Cosmetics

LOOKING GOOD AND FEELING GREAT DOESN’T HAVE TO MEAN COMPROMISING A HEALTHY PLANET. THIS MONTH WE’VE PLANT-BASED COSMETICS ALL CERTIFIED AS BEING VEGAN-FRIENDLY...

1. The bronzer that’s solid gold for your skin...

Urban Decay’s Beached Bronzer is beautifully fine, super soft and with an unsurpassed formulation offering a smooth matte complexion. If you’ve found previous bronzers dissatisfying because they feel dry or clumpy, try this and we’re sure you won’t be disappointed. It can be applied dry or wet, it’s great for contouring and it creates a super, natural-looking glow, £23.50 / 9g.

2. Night Cream

Liz Earle has created this luxurious overnight mask to support skin’s natural ability to rejuvenate itself overnight and reduce the appearance of fine lines. Rehydrates, nourishes and provides firmer-feeling skin, all as you enjoy a good night’s sleep, £36 / 50ml.

Revitalising face wash to remove daily grime, clear pores and deeply cleanse the skin for a fresh appearance. Packed with ‘superfood’ ingredients like broccoli, wheatgrass and kale, as well as avocado and pumpkin seed oil, for hydration and balance £28/200ml.

3.Origins Youth Serum

Origins Plantscription multi-Powered Youth Serum can be used twice a day, after cleansing and before moisturising to provide long-lasting hydration, to give the skin a youthful balance and to support your skin’s natural production of collagen, reducing fine lines, £46/30ml.

5. Aromatherapy Associates’ pure essential oil...

We’re a fan of Aromatherapy Associates, and their newest scent is this Forest Therapy blend of 22 oils all promising to evoke woodland and provide a truly therapeutic experience. Key fragrance elements include pink pepper, cypress, juniper and ho wood. Drizzle a little in your bath or place a little in the palm of your hand and inhale a few times, £25 / 10ml.

6. A daily bath and shower gel treat...

‘Elevate your bathing ritual to an art form’ says the blurb from Moulton Brown. That’s silly PR fluff, but this Labdanum Dusk Bath and Shower Gel does manage to give your daily ablutions an ambery-woody scent with ingredients including cedar, patchouli, vanilla and oudh. It’s vegan, gluten-free and nut-free too, £27 / 300ml.

4. Superfood Face Wash
