This is for all you vegans and veggies out there that want to use products to fit your lifestyle. Here’s some info on some vegan and vegetarian products that SkinStore.com offers. For those of you that may be newer to the world of vegetarianism I have made it pretty simple to spot out products to suit your preferences. Strictly vegan lines do not contain such ingredients as milk, honey, lanolin (substance derived from sheep’s wool) or any animal derived ingredients. Vegetarian skin care lines may include lactic acid or honey, however any other animal based ingredients such as squalene, fish oil, gelatin, carmine (pigment from a beetle), collagen, vitamin A, and glycerin will not be included as these are all animal by products. A lot of makeup companies that are vegan use synthetic materials for their brushes instead of animal hair. This works well for vegans and people allergic to animals that may not be able to tolerate natural fibers. Some alternatives to animal based ingredients include vegetable glycerin, soy and plant proteins, or almond and olive oil. Vitamin A alternatives include vegetables such as carrots, wheat germ oil or a synthetic form of Vitamin A. The brands listed below are vegan or vegetarian:Vegan Products: Nuxe: Contains no animal ingredients, synthetic coloring agents, no mineral oils, and is lab tested and under dermatological supervision. Duwop: Is vegan, no animal testing, and uses many different antioxidants to improve the look of your skin to enhance makeup application Sparitual: 100% vegan. We love this line for their fun colors, earth friendly packaging, and great smelling products.Vegetarian Products: Juara: 100% vegetarian, no animal testing, contains no artificial colorants, paraben-free, no sulfates or pthalates. Arcona-vegan (except for honey used in only a few products). This is one of my new favorite product lines. The smell, texture, and efficacy of the products are untouchable! Juice Beauty: Is vegetarian and uses a lot of organic ingredients. Melvita: Is vegetarian and organic Colorscience: vegetarian and offers a wide range of natural sunscreens. bareMinerals: vegetarian Jack Black: vegan except for beeswax and silk amino acids that are in some of their products. They are cruelty, color and fragrance free. Anthony Logistics: They are vegan except for their lip balms which contain beeswax. Some companies are either reformulating their products or coming out with products that are exclusively vegetarian to meet the needs of consumers. Vegetarian based products have proven not to be just a fad, but offer real results and are here to stay!
