The growth in consumer demand and awareness of people of what made our favorite beauty products, more and more brands to refuse animal testing and do not include the composition of the products of animal origin. Kat Von D, Elf Cosmetics, Organic Planeta — brand, cheerfully running ahead of his “colleagues” (numerous studies show that more and more popular are natural cosmetics based on natural components and so-called cruelty-free products). SPLETNIK.RU made a list of vegan cosmetic brands, to use means which can be without guilt.

Elf Cosmetics

When Western bloggers hear the words “budget beauty products”, comes to mind Australian brand Elf Cosmetics. In the range of brands you can find great makeup brushes, products for eyebrows, vysokomehanizirovannoe shadows and hydrating lipstick in one, three and five dollars. That’s exactly the case when cheap does not mean poor quality. Last month the company demonstrated its caring attitude towards animals — ten percent of sales of their products have received various charitable organizations (for example, “save the elephants” is a program that protects elephants from poachers and traffickers in Africa).

EcoTools

French brand EcoTools, established in 2007, produces a synthetic brush (from four to six dollars) from eco-friendly materials: renewable bamboo (one of the fastest growing plants on the planet), recycled aluminum and plastic. Packaging is also vegan, as its contents, — each brush is sold in a cotton bag. All products are certified by PETA (the international organization “people for the ethical treatment of animals”), and means that funds are certainly not tested on animals. In addition to brushes, EcoTools range you’ll find combs and toiletries for bath and shower (washcloths, sponges and towels), all at very affordable prices.

Kat Von D

In 2016 the brand Kat Von D has announced an upgrade of its concept — from the moment they began to produce exclusively vegan cosmetics marked #VeganAlert. Palette for contouring Shade + Light Contour Palette, which is every self-respecting beauty blogger, was the first product conforming to the new concept (she was removed all the ingredients that were tested on animals). Now such means was much more here and products-legends brand: ultra resistant eyeliner with the speaker called Tattoo Liner and matte lipstick Lolita, which is selling out faster than it appears on the shelves, and concealer, easily overlapping tattoos and acne.

Lush

Guide good old Lush in the autumn of last year called improper and cruel use of egg whites in the manufacture of shampoos and advocated “oganization” its brand, calling on the Russian cosmetic industry also to end the cruelty. The chief ethics officer of mark, a hardened vegan and activist for the struggle for the protection of animal rights Hilary Jones said that the company removes all remaining animal products from their recipes. Lush first installed my strict policy is “No animal testing” in 1991, which was the first signal on the way to the ethical cosmetics.

Humane Society International (one of the largest international organizations, which deals with the protection of animals) has conducted several high-profile campaigns that the EU has banned the sale of cosmetics is unethical, and in April 2012 the organization began its global campaign, “Makeup without cruelty”, aiming at the abolition of animal testing around the world. Now about 80 percent of branded products suitable for vegans. Lush also donates generously to support nature protection, animal protection and charity. For example, the entire proceeds received from the sale of the cream “charity Pot” (minus VAT) goes to the needs of quadrupeds.

Weleda

All products are organic brand from Germany Weleda is suitable for vegetarians who exclude from their diet meat and fish. The brand also has tools that are marked with Vegan.

In the line of the brand many patches (love them many stars, including Rachel Zoe, Jessalyn Gilsig, Ashley Benson and Lucy Hale) and creams that solve a specific task, whether it be age spots, wrinkles or rashes.

Le Labo

The perfume lovers vegans should not only avoid flavors containing milk, honey, leather and beeswax, but also highlight animals that are often used to prolong the durability of the perfume. For example, the civets are extracted from the umbilical cord of the African civet, which it needs a long time to keep in captivity. Component is rare and expensive, as it cannot be synthesized. Musk — a strong smelling substance produced by the glands of some animals. Many brands abandon natural ingredients and make a choice in favor of “ethical” synthetics. One of them is Le Labo. 100% ethical (this is certified PETA) niche brand produces hand-made candles, scented oils, designer air freshener made from old dried wood, the flavors in stylish bottles with pharmacy labels-receipts. Not only that, the ingredients of the Le Labo scents are not tested on animals and contain no parabens, phthalates or preservatives.
