It’s one of our favorite times of year: Halloween.
Of course, aside from the fact that many Halloween makeup kits are full of yucky chemicals, there is no telling whether a lot of these generic kits are tested on animals. Certainly the red blood is a gamble as to whether it is vegan, given that red dye often comes from crushed beetles.
In reality, fake blood can easily end up in the mouth of you, your child, or whoever is wearing it; why would you want some nasty chemical blood in your mouth? Edible, vegan and cruelty-free fake blood is very simple to make.
3 Ingredient Cruelty-Free, Vegan Edible Fake Blood Recipe for Halloween
2 parts organic corn syrup
1 part of your favorite Organic Chocolate Syrup
3-4 drops vegan red food coloring
Mix all of the ingredients together, adding more dye or chocolate syrup as needed to get the color and consistency needed. Apply to desired areas needing fake blood.
Even though this is being used for cosmetic purposes, remember to store this as a food item. A jar in a refrigerator is best.
