VAP Beauty Review: Pacifica, Zoya, Poo-Pourri, Hugo's Naturals & Allafia

My love for trying out new beauty products goes back to my teen years when $5 could go a long way at the drugstore, while cruising the aisles looking at the new nail colors or lip glosses. I still love to dabble in any new vegan beauty or cosmetic product—that hasn’t changed! The beauty industry certainly continues to appeal to us from every medium, every angle with every gimmick. A dramatic change from years ago and a fresh step in the right direction is the increase in vegan beauty products that seem to be popping up everywhere. A vegan beauty product not only has not harmed animals in their testing, which would be labeled “animal cruelty-free,” but also does not use any animal-derived ingredients. You may be surprised at the ingredients that come from animals that you’ll see frequently on labels of cosmetics. 

According to an article titled, “Vegan Beauty Care: When Going Natural Isn’t Enough,” from the Los Angeles Times, the rising demand for vegan beauty products is an outgrowth of the popularity of natural beauty products and this demand is increasing. Natural beauty products tend to limit their ingredients to avoid potentially harmful petrochemicals, drawing more from “nature.” Vegan beauty products go a step further....read about the surprising animal derived ingredients to avoid.
