Vegan cosmetics

What is vegan cosmetics?

We are often not aware of how many animal ingredients are in cosmetic products. Hyaluron is made from rooster combs or chicken feet and beeswax is found in numerous lip care products and creams due to its skin-protecting and moisturizing effects.

Vegan cosmetics is free from animal ingredients. This means that animal ingredients are replaced by vegan ingredients. For example, to bind the vegan lipstick Coconut or olive oil is used instead of beeswax. Those who use vegan cosmetics do not necessarily rely on sustainable cosmetics. For this to happen, the ingredients also have to be of natural origin. More on this under: Is natural cosmetics always vegan?

Is vegan also cruelty-free?

Unfortunately, vegan does not always mean "cruelty-free" when it comes to cosmetics. Although there has been a ban on testing since 2009 and a ban on marketing since 2013, you can still buy cosmetics whose ingredients have been tested on animals beforehand. The animal testing can have been carried out both inside and outside the EU. 1

It is also possible that ingredients that are also used in other areas, such as medicines or detergents, cleaning products and cleaning agents, are tested on animals. This means that cosmetics can contain ingredients that have already been tested on animals in other areas. 2

The term “cruelty-free” cannot guarantee that the product is actually “cruelty-free”. In addition, the term “vegan cosmetics” initially only means that the cosmetic product contains no animal ingredients.

A product is only truly cruelty-free if it is also vegan. So to be sure that the product is both vegan and cruelty-free, you should check whether the product “PETA Approved Global Animal Test Policy” logo and the “Vegan” logo contains. 3

How do I know that a product is 100% vegan?

I can tell whether a cosmetic product is vegan by its ingredients. The most important ones to keep in mind when buying are creatine, hyaluronic acid, lanolin, beeswax and collagen. The list is very long. However, you can use PETA's list as a guide. PETA's official list of cruelty-free cosmetics, care products, household products and more | PETA (peta-approved.de)

When buying, you should also make sure that the label of a reliable organization, such as the label of the animal rights organization PETA with the Leaping Bunny, is present.

Is natural cosmetics always vegan?

natural cosmetics can be composed of plant, mineral and animal ingredients. Natural cosmetics are therefore not automatically vegan. Natural cosmetics can therefore also contain animal ingredients such as collagen. However, natural cosmetics must not contain chemical ingredients such as parabens, paraffins or silicones. However, there is nothing to prevent vegan cosmetics also contains chemical ingredients. Quality seals such as the BDIH seal can help you determine whether a product is actually natural cosmetics. Natural cosmetics are therefore not necessarily vegan.

Vegan cosmetics are not always halal cosmetics. Halal and vegan cosmetics have many common production regulations, but also different criteria. Vegan cosmetics may contain the aliphatic alcohol extracted from dates, but halal products may not. In Halal cosmetics may also contain halal-compliant animal ingredients such as honey - which are strictly prohibited in vegan products. However, animals are very important to both vegan and halal cosmetics. Because of this, there are strict regulations on animal husbandry from an Islamic perspective, which also prohibits the conduct of animal testing.

To be absolutely sure that the cosmetics halal and vegan certified care must be taken to ensure that both seals are present.
