If you want to care for your skin and hair naturally and also want to be sure that all ingredients have reached the jar or bottle without animal testing, you usually have to do a little "market research" of your own. With the growing awareness of sustainability and environmental protection, the range of natural cosmetics has also increased.
The term is not legally protected, however. In addition to plant ingredients, products from living or dead animals may also be included. This is impossible with vegan cosmetics. However, the "vegan" seal does not certify that all ingredients consist of mineral or vegetable raw materials. Vegan natural cosmetics, which you can buy here in our ENVI Naturals Shop, form an exquisite intersection, so to speak, between the two segments.
What is vegan natural cosmetics?
Vegan natural cosmetics combine the advantages of vegan face care and body care with those of certified natural cosmetics. The brands in the ENVI Naturals Shop all do without ingredients of animal origin, such as wool grease and honey, collagen or the dye carmine red. At the same time, only natural and nature-based raw materials ensure the skin-friendly texture in the recipes. Avoiding synthetic or petroleum-based additives prevents irritation or even allergies.
The plants usually come from controlled cultivation with the appropriate organic seal or from wild collections. In the ENVI Naturals Shops you will find natural, vegan cosmetics from Amala, The Glow or Susanne Kaufmann, among others. Every brand feels committed to sustainability. This is how radiant beauty, without animal testing, and nature and climate protection come to work together.
What is the difference between natural cosmetics and vegan natural cosmetics?
Natural cosmetics consist of natural raw materials and usually contain a high proportion of plant extracts. At least 95 percent of certified products that bear the Natrue seal, for example, come from organic cultivation or natural wild growth. Detailed information on production can be found on the products. Certified natural cosmetics products do not contain mineral oil-based ingredients to ensure optimal facial care and good tolerability of cream, lotion and shower gel. The smoothness of the formulations is achieved through alternatives made from vegetable oils and fats.
The color and scent are also purely natural. Flower waters, essential oils and herbal extracts are particularly effective in this respect. However, natural cosmetics are not automatically vegan. The use of substances that come from animals or are produced by them is generally permitted. This applies, for example, to milk and honey, to mink oil or other animal fats.
The question of animal testing is also ambivalent. In principle, animal testing for cosmetics is prohibited in the EU. However, the regulation only applies to purely cosmetic substances. Ingredients that are also used in other products such as medicines or cleaning agents may continue to be tested on animals. However, natural cosmetics with a certificate are usually not tested on animals. Vegan natural cosmetics combine the two basic maxims of vegan and natural cosmetics:
They contain purely natural raw materials and also have no additives of animal origin. Vegan, natural cosmetics with the seal of the vegan flower also stand for the assurance that all products for face, body and hair are guaranteed free of animal testing. The Natrue seal sets the highest standards in the use of selected natural materials in organic quality.
What makes vegan natural cosmetics so special?
The result is more than the sum of its ingredients - this is one of the greatest advantages of natural cosmetics that are vegan. The targeted combination of natural, vegan ingredients results in small all-rounder products for skin and face care. The Glow's Wonder Balm is a wonderful example. Wild rose oil and cupuacu butter, jojoba oil and stone seed root extract combine to form a silky balm that cleanses, nourishes and protects. For daily skin care, as lip care, as a primer under make-up. For soft, velvety, radiant skin.
For whom are vegan natural cosmetics suitable?
Natural care that is vegan is suitable for all skin types. The natural plant active ingredients provide the skin with nutrients and care from which the individual cells can take the active ingredients they need. The Glow, for example, has a manageable product portfolio that is structured systematically.
The individual, vegan components are finely tuned to each other and can also be mixed. The centerpiece is The Glow Floral Essence, a soothing and nourishing facial tonic with snow fungus, moth bean and lemon balm extract. Depending on skin needs, Floral Essence can be mixed with Everything Oil or Master Elixir to be used as a cream and moisture booster. Susanne Kaufmann's Eye Cream line is another example of the very good tolerability and high effectiveness of natural ingredients.
The cream has a decongestant effect, reduces dark circles and makes the eyes appear brighter and clearer. Ectoin increases cell protection, baobab and larch bark act as powerful antioxidants. However, at ENVI Naturals Shop we also stock cruelty-free, natural cosmetics that are vegan and specifically tailored for a specific skin type.
Amala's Skin Calming Reparative Treatment Oil pampers dry and irritated skin in particular with an invigorating cocktail of valuable, natural active ingredients. Camellia oil, as well as evening primrose and apricot oil soothe and repair the damaged protective layer of the skin and strengthen it for future stress.
