When you look good, you feel good!
We use beauty products to enhance our beauty and express ourselves. However, when it comes to vegan beauty-products, things get a bit confusing. At the moment, we don't have a standardized logo to guide us when buying, so we have to resort to looking at a complex maze of ingredients to determine if the product is vegan or not. If you have already spent time looking at beauty products, you'd have realized that these products fall under a spectrum. A product can either be all or none of them.
Vegan products don't have any animal-derived ingredients.
Vegetarian products contain animal-derived products. They may also be tested on animals.
Cruelty-free products aren't tested on animals, but they can have animal-derived ingredients.
Pro tip: Some companies use the term "Not tested on animals". This means that the finished product isn't tested on animals, but the ingredients may or may not be animal tested.
