9 Vegan Makeup Brands You Need To Know About


We’ve all heard about the benefits of eating a vegan diet.

If someone you know is a vegan, there’s a 100% chance that they’ve talked to you about it on more than one occasion. Yes, you probably sat there rolling your eyes and hoping it would stop.

But, you were probably missing out on some key health information. So listen up, because going vegan now extends beyond your diet and into your cosmetics.

Vegan makeup brands are making waves with beauty lines that offer incredible benefits that everyone can appreciate.

But, first things first. What is vegan makeup?

In order for a product to be labeled vegan, it cannot contain any animal or animal-derived ingredients.

Vegan products are completely free of:

  • honey
  • beeswax
  • lanolin (the grease from a sheep’s wool..eek!)
  • collagen
  • albumen
  • carmine (a red colour from crushed cochineal insects)
  • cholesterol
  • gelatin

Plus, vegan makeup products don’t contain toxic chemicals like parabens and heavy metals.



Why Make the Switch to Vegan Makeup?

Vegan beauty isn’t just about animal safety anymore.

Animal ingredients are known to be harsh and can easily clog your pores or cause skin irritations. But, vegan products are a soothing alternative your skin will thank you for.

Women everywhere are making the switch to vegan makeup brands because the plant-derived ingredients contain more vitamins, minerals and antioxidants to nourish and protect your skin.

Vegan makeup is often made of:

  • Vitamins A, C & E
  • Natural oils
  • Hemp seed extracts

These natural ingredients are just as, if not more, effective than their synthetic versions.

Here’s our list of vegan makeup brands that are paving the way for a better beauty revolution.




9 Vegan Makeup Brands You Need To Know About

1. 100% Pure

Most cosmetics are colored with FD&C dyes which could contain harmful coal tar, lead, mercury and other heavy metals. These dyes will show up on your ingredient list under the names: Red Dye #40, Blue Dye #6, Yellow Dye #5, etc.

But instead of harsh dyes, 100% Pure uses vibrant fruit, vegetable, tea, and other plant pigments to color their cosmetics. These natural colorants are full of beneficial vitamins, antioxidants and other phyto-nutrients.

The result?

A cosmetics line with ingredients that’ll actually nourish your skin.
