Are you looking for ways to take care of the Earth, and help helpless animals all at the same time? Then look no further as the world vegan day is here!
Pursuing a vegan lifestyle is the act of refraining from eating meat or any animal-derived foods (such as eggs, milk and cheese) and typically refraining from purchasing or buying any products, be it household, cosmetic or health, that include animal-derived ingredients.
According to Sunpac, a distributing company, there are many beauty products which contain animal ingredients such as honey, beeswax, uric acid from cows or lanolin, the grease from sheep’s wool. These animal ingredients can be harsh on the human body and are therefore not ideal for a healthy beauty routine.
However, using vegan beauty products which contain plant-derived ingredients offers more natural vitamins, minerals and antioxidants, resulting in a safer and healthier beauty routine, and the peace of mind that your beauty purchase did not result in the suffering of any animals.
Well, experts can agree changing to a vegan lifestyle is not always easy and doesn’t happen overnight. According to Sunpac, “It takes some time to find suitable alternatives to the products you use daily, and major dietary changes also require a little bit of time to adapt to. There are many small changes that can be made to your lifestyle that result in larger changes in the world.”
These changes may include a vegan beauty routine such as using vegan hair and skincare products and eating more plant-based food and with many brands now adapting to provide individuals with loads of vegan formulas or products will allow you to vegan-iz your health and beauty in no time.
Below is a list of some of your health and beauty offer vegan-friendly products according to Sunpac:
