Is It Worth Using Vegan Beauty Products?

Vegans are often perceived as a group of fanatics that are able to chain themselves to tree to fight for what they believe. They not only do not eat meat or anything that comes from animals, but also they use special beauty products that were not tested on animals. Vegans do not consume eggs, milk, cheese, honey, and yoghurt. In contrary to what people may think, there is a plenty of other food left.

The standard vegan diet consists of vegetables, fruits, soy, and tofu. Vegans claim that pretty any taste can be created using natural, plant based ingredients. Even the taste of meat is no problem. What it takes is tofu, herbs and a lot of imagination. Skincare products need to be free from silk, animal fat, lanoline, and beeswax. The popular ingredients used in Vegan beauty products can contain plant essential oils and mineral mud. The most important aspect is not even the ingredient list, but the fact whether the product has been tested on animals in the clinical test.

Many cosmetic companies use vulnerable animals to check if the cream or other beauty product they are to release is safe and effective. Being a tester may be very painful and harmful to health that is why people are not willing to take part in this procedure. Instead, poor animals who cannot fight for their rights are being exploited. How to check if the product is cruelty-free? All beauty products that were not tested on animals hold the Vegan or the Leaping Bunny Certificate. Many people realize that the soap and the toothpaste can contain numerous ingredients that cannot be called healthy or safe. In standard toothpaste, we can find poisonous fluoride.

According to FDA, fluoride can strengthen teeth and reduce the risk of cavities. In fact, too much toxic fluoride causes discolouring teeth, suppressing the immune system, damaging the nerve system and causing many types of cancer. Organic toothpaste however can contain as little as 4 ingredients and be twice as effective in fighting plague. Extremely harmful parabens in commercial beauty products is now the standard. Not many know that too much exposure to parabens is responsible for numerous skin problems and infections. You can either keep buying standard cosmetics or you pick the one with the ‘bunny’ image on the container if you want to stay strong and healthy.
