What’s the buzz around Vegan Skincare? by Dr. Vidhi Pandya Patel | R&D Consultant and Nutritionist | @smilingvidhi
A
few years ago, vegan skincare was not on anyone’s radar but now it is the talk of the town. The vegan industry is booming, and this is great news for ethical reasons and for high-quality skincare. Veganism is about more than just diet or clothes. Did you know that a lot of our beauty and skincare products contain animal ingredients? Many are not aware of this but as a consumer today you should know what you are investing in. The basic know-how that one should have about vegan skincare is that honest vegan-friendly skincare ranges will never use any animal-derived ingredients. A vegan skincare product is made from plants, minerals and some safe, non-animal synthetic lab-made ingredients. So much is available to us in the plant kingdom, that we don’t need to seek out animal-based skincare, keeping it cruelty free. I’m about to share with you some of my best kept traditional vegan skincare secrets. They have been personally tried and tested for their efficacy and I hope you try and test them too.
