You might be asking yourself, why would anyone choose to use vegan beauty products? And the answer is that it's not just a diet choice but a way of life. As more people become aware of how their diet affects the planet and animals, they're making the switch to more sustainable options like vegan food and cosmetics. Here are some reasons why we think it's a good idea.
Did you know there is actually a lot of miscommunication around vegan skin care products? What’s on the label may not always be what it seems. This can be confusing to someone who is new to vegan lifestyle and vegan beauty products. Keep reading to find out why we only support true vegan products.
Vegan beauty products are more popular than ever. The demand for vegan beauty products is on the rise, as more people are switching over to a plant based diet and lifestyle. One reason for this is that there are now more options available. The number of vegan skin care brands has grown significantly over the past few years, along with the number of people following a vegan lifestyle. There’s also been an increase in interest from beauty bloggers and makeup artists who have switched from using animal based ingredients to using all natural products made with plants instead.

As a business that's committed to the environment, we love that plant based diets are good for the planet. Not only do they help reduce greenhouse gas emissions, but they also promote sustainable farming practices and create less waste than eating meat. This is important because our planet's resources are limited, and we need to be smart about how we use them.
We know that it can be difficult at first when switching to a vegan diet or beauty routine - the food options available aren't always as varied as what you're used to - but once you get settled in with your new products, adding more plant based foods into your life should become second nature!
Generally speaking, vegan beauty products are not tested on animals. Not only does this mean that you can feel confident about the ingredients in your skin care products, but it also means that the product is less likely to be harmful to other living things. Vegan beauty products are often made with non toxic ingredients, so they're better for the environment and your health as well.
Vegan beauty products don't use animal ingredients such as honey, collagen or beeswax. Instead vegan beauty brands rely on plant based alternatives like jojoba seed oil or grapeseed oil which have similar beneficial effects without harming anyone else along the way.
Many vegan beauty brands are also cruelty free. As you may already know, cruelty free products are not tested on animals. While some people choose to buy from non cruelty free companies for personal reasons, we at Sassy Organics believe that cruelty free and vegan options must be available to everyone.
Therefore, we will continue to support the vegan and cruelty free movement by providing you with resources that help raise awareness about these topics. We hope this article has been helpful and will encourage you to consider your next purchase carefully! Some of the popular vegan and cruelty free make up brands include: Zuii Organic, Ere Perez, Hanami Cosmetics and NEEK Skin Organics.
It can be difficult to dissect an ingredient label at times with misleading information. Here are some of the most common animal derived ingredients or animal by products used in natural beauty products.
A product that is labelled ‘cruelty free' usually means that the product has not been tested on animals. A product labelled as ‘vegan' means that it does not contain any animal or animal by products. So, legally a product can be labelled as ‘vegan' yet may still use ingredients that have been tested on animals. Likewise with a product that is labelled ‘cruelty-free', this product is likely not tested on animals but may contain some non vegan ingredients.
So how do you know which brands are ethical, vegan and cruelty-free? It does take a little bit of research on your part as a consumer. You will note that currently all products sold at Sassy Organics have been tagged as 'vegan' and 'not tested on animals', giving you confidence that the product contains no animal ingredients and has not been tested on animals. Whilst none of the products we have sold have been tested on animals, a handful of products contained non vegan ingredients such as beeswax. We feel very strongly about only representing ethical vegan brands, which is why in 2019 we became a 100% exclusively vegan online store.
Vegan brands are becoming more and more eco conscious. Many of them use recycled packaging and their products are made from natural ingredients, not animal by products. You don't need to worry about where your cosmetics are sourced from or what was used to make them: the vegan beauty industry has come a long way since its beginning in the '60s!
Some brands' practices include:

All beauty products sold in China must be tested on animals before being approved for sale in the country. This means that brands that claim no animal testing in Australia, must undergo animal testing before being allowed to be sold in China. A large number of popular beauty brands sell their products to China, and as such are ultimately still supporting animal testing. This is simply not ok by our standards, which is why we do not support any brands that sell their products to China.
Going vegan is more than a diet choice; it's a choice that can be applied to all areas of your life. That's why we are dedicated to providing high quality products that not only work well but also come from brands with values similar to ours: cruelty free and 100% vegan. We believe in supporting companies that are passionate about their craft, whether it is making makeup or brushes. As such, we are dedicated to stocking the best cruelty free and vegan skin care in Australia.

Vegan beauty products are more than just a trend. They're part of a movement that's growing in popularity, and it's one that could have lasting effects on the world we live in. Going vegan is about more than just what you eat - it can help us change how we treat animals, our planet, and ourselves.
