Vegan cosmetics – what does the term actually stand for?

Unfortunately, vegan cosmetics are still a niche on the cosmetics market in Poland and are available in very few drugstores. Thankfully, their availability is growing every year. What does the name “vegan cosmetics” actually stand for? Natural vegan cosmetics are cosmetic products that contain natural, plant-based ingredients. Products for vegans must meet three very important criteria:

• They must not contain any substances of animal origin (e.g. milk, bee pollen, eggs, lanolin, tallow, yogurt, collagen and many others). Vegan cosmetics are based only on natural raw materials of plant origin, mineral components and herbal extracts.
• They must not contain artificial colourings (silicones, parabens and other petrochemicals)
• They must not be tested on animals (at any stage of production). Vegan cosmetics must not be tested on animals either in their finished form or as semi-finished products. Cosmetics for vegans have a special label on the packaging to confirm this fact. In addition, it comes with an appropriate certificate. Manufacturers of vegan cosmetics, including our brand Senelle, care about animals and apply the cruelty free principle to animals and nature.a.

Vegan cosmetics are often called Cruelty-free, which emphasizes the fact that there are no zoonotic substances in the cosmetic product. Furthermore, their packaging may say Vegan friendly and Vegan. By choosing cosmetics for vegans, we have a real impact on our planet, we protect it as well as our local wildlife and animals. These are cosmetic products that are dedicated for vegans and vegetarians, supporting the principles of veganism, and benefiting human health and well-being.
