Switching to a vegan cosmetics collection doesn’t have to be as hard as it may seem. Follow these easy tips to transition into vegan cosmetics.
Have you changed your diet to plant-based? Would you like to live a fully vegan lifestyle? One of your next steps should be switching to vegan cosmetic products. Just like changing your diet, changing your cosmetic lineup can be difficult. With these tips for transitioning to vegan cosmetics, the switch will be seamless.
Start Small
The first step for making a smooth transition is to start small and build your collection. Don’t expect the change to completely vegan cosmetics to happen overnight. Your skin will likely need time to adjust to new products, and you’ll need time to find the right ones to rebuild your collection. Start with the essentials you’ll need daily, so you can begin implementing your vegan products more often than non-vegan options.
Do Your Research
Researching is the best way to find products that work for you, and discover brands you can trust. Use online resources to read reviews, suggestions, product information, and brand values. The more you research the vegan cosmetic industry in general, the easier it will be to find the right products.
Check the Labels
The sure-fire way to determine if a product is vegan is to read the label thoroughly. A correctly labeled cosmetic product will include an ingredients list you can check to ensure it doesn’t contain any animal products.
You’ll also want to look out for products labeled as cruelty-free. While cruelty-free products don’t test on animals, it does not mean they don’t use animal products. Read the ingredients to make sure the product is vegan as well as cruelty-free.
There’s Always a Similar Product
If you’ve become attached to one of your non-vegan cosmetics or you’re worried about finding one of the same quality, just remember that there is always a vegan alternative. Through research, trial and error, and help from vegan cosmetics forums, you’ll always be able to find an alternative vegan product.
Don’t Forget Your Cosmetic Tools
Aside from the products themselves, make sure your cosmetic tools are also vegan. Switch to vegan makeup brushes, beauty blenders, and loofahs for a fully vegan collection.
Follow these tips for transitioning to vegan cosmetics to help you find the right products and make the switch.
