Want to start making more planet-conscious choices with your beauty regime? Say hello to vegan skincare! 

You may not realize, but many beauty products on the market contain animal-derived ingredients, making them vegan unfriendly. It can be a bit of a minefield trying to discover vegan skincare range that actually works well for your skin. 

Well, the search is over! At Revolution Skincare, we’ve put together the ultimate guide to vegan skincare, helping you to make the switch!

What is Vegan Skincare?

First of all, what makes vegan skincare, well… vegan? 

For a skincare product (or any product really) to be considered vegan, it must contain zero ingredients that derive from animals. This can be anything from milk and honey, to Collagen and some AHAs. 

What Does ‘Vegan Skincare’ Mean? Is it Cruelty-Free?

Are you concentrating? Because this is where it gets a little confusing. 

  • Vegan skincare means the ingredients don’t come from animals. 
  • Cruelty-free skincare means the products aren’t tested on animals. 

This means that on the market, not all cruelty-free skincare is vegan, and that technically, not all vegan skincare is cruelty-free. 

To make things much simpler, the entirety of Revolution’s brands and ranges are ALL cruelty-free. Always have been and always will be.  

We’re certificated PETA and never allow animal testing at any stage of development for both ingredients and final products. 

Why Choose Vegan Skincare?

So what are the perks of going vegan with your skincare?  

1. Great for Animals

It almost goes without saying, but vegan, cruelty-free skincare is much kinder on the animal kingdom. 

When choosing our vegan skincare, your conscious will be completely clear knowing that no animals or animal-derived ingredients went into our products and that no creatures were harmed during the process. 

2. Kinder to Skin

Many vegan skincare ingredient alternatives are plant-based, so rich in antioxidants, minerals and vitamin goodness.  

The alternative ingredients are also often much gentler on our skin, making vegan skincare well-suited for all you sensitive skin babes.  

3. Good for the Environment

Similar to the meat industry, the animal-based beauty industry can have a negative impact on the planet, causing air pollution, water pollution, and deforestation. 

We’re proud that all of our suppliers must be committed to achieving the highest standard of environmental management, giving you great peace of mind when choosing our vegan skincare, and our other beauty ranges.
