Vegan skincare: what does it mean and why should we choose it?
Posted by Maddalena Petromilli on
Recently, veganism is becoming more and more popular in many countries. Whether it's choosing to decrease meat consumption or to follow a completely plant-based lifestyle, it is no longer a choice only made by a select few. Since it is also considered a way to exercise our social and environmental responsibility, why not apply this same principle to our skincare routines? Thanks to the last generation, hi-tech formulas of our products, you won’t have to compromise on quality and effectiveness. Find out everything you need to know about vegan skincare here!
What exactly does "vegan skincare" mean?
By definition, vegan beauty products contain no animal or animal-derived ingredients. This includes beeswax, honey, lanolin and dairy products, to name a few.
Why should you choose vegan products?
At Milanesi Skincare, we believe that choosing a vegan skincare routine is not only a way to safeguard the animal world, but also to bring real benefits to ourselves! Vegan skincare offers a whole host of hidden benefits and important active ingredients that will nourish the skin and make you feel fresh as a rose. The plant-based ingredients in many vegan formulas, in fact, contain more vitamins, minerals, antioxidants and natural oils that help repair and moisturize the skin. This will keep your skin soft and protected for longer. These ingredients include vitamins A, C and E, oils such as coconut, argan and rosehip, seaweed, soy extracts, seeds and flower extracts, Goji berries and so on.
Vegan skincare products also tend to be more delicate on the skin. Those with sensitive, easily irritated or allergy-prone skin may find these products particularly useful as they tend to contain fewer ingredients that can aggravate skin conditions or can cause reactions.
As the world of beauty is raising the stakes when it comes to conscious lifestyle choices, whether it's a focus on recycled packaging or ethically sourced ingredients, choosing to use vegan products will help you take a small step forward towards a cleaner consumerism.
