16 Vegan Beauty Brands To Celebrate During World Vegan Month
To celebrate World Vegan Month, we've rounded up some of our favourite 100% vegan skincare and makeup brands.

KAT VON D BEAUTY
Kat Von D Beauty is a prime example that makeup can be 100% vegan and cruelty-free without compromising quality. The brand uses top alternatives to common animal-derived ingredients like beeswax and carmine (a red dye made from beetles), so that animal lovers don’t have to settle for lousy pigments.
CAKE BEAUTY
Not that we needed another reason to buy one of the best dry shampoos of all time, but Canadian hair and skincare brand Cake Beauty is also vegan and cruelty-free, as certified by PETA’s Beauty Without Bunnies.

In addition to being entirely vegan, Rahua hair care is made with organic plant-derived ingredients and is totally free of parabens, sulphates and gluten—which basically means you can feel really good about what you are putting on your hair.

OSEA
OSEA products are fully vegan, which they say is an eco-friendly practice. “To produce one pound of animal protein vs. one pound of plant protein, it takes about 12 times as much land, 13 times as much fossil fuel and 15 times as much water,” says their website.

Makeup brand Clove + Hallow has a variety of vegan, cruelty-free cosmetics that are affordable and rival some of our existing favourites. They also follow a “Clean15” rule, meaning there are 15 ingredients or less in their base formulas.
