Vegan Makeup Products That Wowed Our Editors
April 07, 2023
We’re all about making more environmentally conscious decisions, and that includes taking a critical look at what’s in our beauty products. One thing we’re committing to this year is shopping for more vegan makeup — products that are made without any animal ingredients or animal-derived ingredients.
Not only are these makeup products better for the environment, but there are also so many amazing choices on the market. (We think everyone should start putting together a vegan makeup bag of their own!) Ahead, discover nine vegan makeup products we’ve been loving lately.
