Y’all, I promise this will NOT be one of those preachy posts about the joys of veganism or making anyone feel bad for still using Pink Oil Moisturizer, lol!!!
Many of us have similar stories of “interesting humans”, you know, the Dr. Sebi type, who shouted about natural products back in the day. I remember when my older sister “turned vegan” and my mom, little sister and I didn’t understand her new lifestyle at all. It seemed so restrictive, cult-like and even boring. Almost 20 years later and she’s the healthiest person I know, so now I’m gladly part of the vegan-ish (I working on it) cult. Turns out the early adopters of veganism and plant-based health were right. It is better for you!
The demand for cruelty-free, vegan and plant-based products are higher than ever. Industry experts are projecting that the vegan cosmetic industry will be a $20 billion enterprise by 2025.
Cruelty-free products are not tested on animals or use any animal parts as an ingredient. Here’s the thing, even if you don’t care about Michael Jackson’s friend Ben, you should care about saving your skin from chemicals that can actually cause breakouts or allergies.
Plant based products are free from chemicals and incorporating the right ones into your beauty routine is like bathing in the fountain of youth. Beauty products with harmful and toxic ingredients such as sulphates, parabens, synthetic materials and phosphates can strip your skin and cause more irritation to skin that is already sensitive. Natural plant-based ingredients, overtime actually repairs and heals most skin conditions.
