Top 10 Indian vegan and cruelty-free skin care brands

The world of skin care, hair care and cosmetics are changing rapidly. People are more concerned about the products they are applying on their skin and on their hair. Now people are more conscious about the vegan and cruelty-free concepts. Vegan skin care products are those which are made from plant based ingredients. Cruelty-free skin care products are those which are not tested on animals. Many brands used to test their products on animals, but now they are also changing their process and becoming cruelty-free.

Why vegan and cruelty-free products are good for you?

It is so good to see people becoming conscious about the cosmetics, skin care and the hair care products. They are now looking for more vegan and cruelty-free products, which is a boom in the market nowadays. The brands are forced to change their game. These products are mainly vegan and are created from the ingredients extracted from plants. They are not even tested on animals, so they are mostly free from the chemicals. These chemical free skin care products will not only protect your skin from chemicals but also will provide nourishment. Following are the benefits you can count on:

1. Offers enough nourishment and hydration to the skin.
2. Protects your skin from getting allergy, rashes, eczema, acne or any type of skin inflammation.
