Vegan beauty in Veganuary

3 min read

Veganuary! It’s everywhere – even here! Yes, there are loads of vegan beauty products out there. Probably loads more than you’d even think – but why would beauty products have loads of animal product in them?!

Anyway, I’ve been bombared with Veganuary press releases since, ooh, way back in October, maybe. So, I’ve picked a few vegan beauty products to share with you here.

Nourish London’s KALE 3D Cleanse (£25, nourishlondon.com) deeply cleanses the skin and removes all impurities. Superfood Kale and Griffonia detoxify and create a unique defense mechanism against pollution, helping to maintain skin suppleness, minimising the signs of ageing. Hyaluronic acid, probiotics and oxygenating extracts restore skin hydration, energising and refreshing the skin.

Nourish London was founded by Dr Pauline Hili, one of the UK’s leading Organic Skincare experts, who is a Fellow of Royal Society of Chemistry.  The brand is 100% vegan, certified organic, ethically sourced and cruelty-free, and Dr Pauline advocates a vegan regime.
There are plenty of reasons why lots of us are choosing to go vegan, for many it is simply about the love of animals and for some it is about their increasing concern about the negative environmental impact of meat farming,” she explains. “At Nourish London, our philosophy is that healthy skin is beautiful skin and we believe that the best way to achieve the most beautiful, radiant, healthy skin is by using natural skincare that does not contain any animal products or byproducts, that is cruelty-free and does not contain harmful chemicals.”

Butter London Patent Shine 10X Nail Polish (£15, marksandspencer.com) is infused with Bamboo Extract and Diamond Powder, and promotes smoother, stronger and healthier nails with every use. It’s also free from Formaldehyde, Formaldehyde Resin, DBP, Toluene, Camphor, Ethyl Tosylamide, Xylene and TPHP.

Naturally Tribal Skincare IYA Women’s Body Food (£24.99, naturallytribalgroup.com) is a rich body butter, packed with yummy ingredients including shea butter, bergamot, geranium, ylang ylang, apricot,and clary sage, for dry and thirsty skin.

The company collaborates with the women of Essan in Nigeria by sourcing their ingredients from their community in an ethical and sustainable manner, providing the infrastructure needed to ensure quality and the training that will help them progress.

It’s also vegan-friendly, and comes in lots of lovely colours. It contains tea tree oil, garlic bulb extract, vitamins C and E, and wheat protein.
