Switch to vegan and cruelty-free cosmetics with these essentials for your beauty routine

Although makeup and cosmetics have been used for more centuries than we can count on the fingers of one hand, as the years go by, trends and customs in this regard change.

Although it may seem obvious to many due to the increased visibility that the fight for animal rights has had in recent years, for a cosmetic to be vegan, it has to be made with totally natural ingredients and not derived from animals. , so you can't carry items like honey, beeswax, or milk. Also, do not confuse this with the concept "cruelty free", which means that it has not been tested on animals in any part of the production.

So that it is not complicated trying to find cosmetic products that meet these two standards of commitment, from The Buyer of La Vanguardia we bring you a small compilation of essentials to start modifying your beauty routines.
