Looking for cruelty-free cosmetics can be a challenging task. While many cosmetics brands are now adopting vegan and cruelty-free practices, some products still contain non-vegan ingredients that may come as a surprise to some. From carmine to collagen, beeswax to squalene, non-vegan ingredients can be found in a wide range of makeup products, making it difficult for vegans to find products that align with their lifestyle. In this blog post, we’ll explore some of the main non-vegan ingredients commonly found in makeup and explain why they are problematic for those who follow a vegan lifestyle. So, if you’re looking to switch to vegan-friendly makeup or simply want to learn more about the ingredients in your beauty products, keep reading!
