\”If you are sad, add more lipstick and attack\”.
– Coco Chanel
Though she quoted this decades ago, the repercussions can be seen today and in the upcoming days. Women and young girls from all parts of the world love to apply cosmetics to enhance their beauty. For them, cosmetics have the power to bring out the hidden confidence in them.
People are nowadays more conscious about their skincare and other beauty regimes. They are turning to vegan beauty products gradually. Global celebrities like, Beyoncé and Jay Z are encouraging their fans and followers to use vegan beauty products for better results. Tata Harper, founder of the namesake natural beauty brand said, beauty is always followed by food as numerous edible ingredients are used to make beauty products.
Many people think that vegan beauty products are cruelty-free products. But they most of the time misunderstand that cruelty-free is just a segment under vegan beauty. Cruelty-free beauty products are those which are never tested on animals. Leaping Bunny, Beauty Without Bunnies (PETA) and Choose Cruelty Free (CCF) are the only organisations which issue a certificate to a cruelty-free cosmetic brand.
In a nutshell, vegan beauty products mean, cosmetic products which are made of plant-based ingredients and no animal ingredients are used. Since ancient times, Asians have been using natural ingredients like turmeric, chickpea flour, honey, neem and many more for skin and beauty care. Commonly animal-based cosmetic brands include bee wax, Carmine, gelatine, placenta and more.
