At present there is a lot of discussion about the environment, and how we humans live and the way in which certain lifestyles may have an effect on the environment. The beauty industry is a fast and seemingly ever-growing industry. You only need to look in a local supermarket, pharmacy, or shop online to see how many beauty products are available to us. With this in mind I thought it would be interesting to look at how the industry I have been in for many years, effects our environment and explore ways that we can make changes to help our planet, while still enjoying the benefits of the beauty products available and the industry that many of us love.

It is easier than ever to shop your values in 2020 whether you want to support a brand that is cruelty-free, or want your purchase to contribute to a charity, there are beauty brands and products that cater to whatever you re looking for. With veganism getting increasingly popular, this is true for vegan beauty products too.
While vegan products have to be cruelty-free animal testing is a no-no the product also needs to contain no animal-derived ingredients or byproducts. Not sure what you should be looking for on the ingredient label? Moisturising agents like beeswax, honey, snail gel and lanolin in your creams, cleanser or lip balms, or colour pigments like carmine in your lipsticks. It is important to note that vegan products aren t necessarily free of any synthetic chemicals they just skip any animal derivatives for plant-based ones. Here are 10 vegan makeup and skincare products you can shop for now.
