Before we get into our favourite brands, here’s a quick wrap of what we learnt over the past two episodes of Shopping for Vegan Skincare.
First, we know fashion, makeup and skincare can be tricky to decipher when it comes to staying ethical and vegan, as many products have a hidden agenda – common animal ingredients are camouflaged in the ingredients list by their scientific names. So remember to use a cosmetic dictionary to pick them out!
Second, natural, organic and vegan products are better for your skin as well as the planet, especially if they are all three! Amazingly powerful ingredients such as natural oils, algae, hemp seed and berry extracts will leave your skin feeling as healthy as can be. Plus, with the popularity of veganism skyrocketing, you’re sure to find the products you want at affordable prices.
3 brands we love
KORA Organics
Model and nutrition devotee Miranda Kerr started KORA Organics when she couldn’t find the pure, natural beauty products she wanted. Founded on the values of transformative skincare, she developed natural products powered by the highest quality, certified organic ingredients, so you know exactly what you’re putting on your skin.
Botani
We love this 100% botanically based natural problem-solving brand. Botani products contain a blend of high-quality, certified organic ingredients, and skin-friendly plant ingredients that are in sync with your skin. This includes the signature ingredient, olive squalene, as well as traditional herbal extracts, potent superfoods and Australian native plant extracts.
Sukin
Vegan, carbon neutral and grey water safe, Australians have long relied on Sukin’s unique combination of high-quality natural and indigenous ingredients, and eco-values, as part of a simple skin, hair and bodycare routine. Free from phthalates, mineral oils and synthetic fragrances, Sukin’s powerful yet gentle products nourish all skin types from the inside out, while caring for the earth and the oceans.⠀
