The vegan beauty brands to know about

If you’ve decided to make the leap to a vegan lifestyle, then you’re probably looking at your make-up bag wondering what is and isn’t allowed in your new regime.

There are plenty of common ingredients found in make-up that come from animals whether it’s beeswax or carmine, a dye made from the wings of beetles.

While a lot of beauty brands unfortunately still test on animals or use animal by-products, more and more are turning into 100% cruelty-free vegan companies.

It’s a pretty tough move as factories are reluctant to change their ways, making it harder for beauty brands to source their ingredients.

To celebrate World Vegan Day, here are all the vegan beauty brands you need to stock up on.
