Paul Mitchell Manufactures Salon Quality, Cruelty-Free, Vegetarian Hair Care Products

Paul Mitchell’s products are ubiquitous. You’ve seen them at salons, supermarket shelves and drug stores. Though your stylist may have washed your hair with one of their shampoos, you may have never asked whether the product was cruelty-free or vegetarian. Good news! Paul Mitchell never tests any of their products on animals, and they refuse to sell to China, which requires animal testing. All of the company’s offerings are vegetarian, and most of them are vegan. You can buy with confidence, knowing that your purchase reflects your values.

Lots of Vegan Beauty Product Goodies at Trader Joes Right Now

A recent trip into Trader Joes delighted us with some vegan beauty and skincare products that happened to be pretty cheap. We found quite a few essentials, and some luxury items (only in terms of use, not cost), that we’re going to be sure to keep on our regular shopping list. There were products for use from head to toe, all of which were completely natural too, which is great for the body and for the environment.

Rainwater Botanicals: Vegan and Cruelty-Free Oils and Skincare Products

We were excited to tell you about Rainwater Botanicals this week, because it’s a vegan and cruelty-free company and because its line of skincare products are all natural. Rainwater Botanicals began in 1999, with a Healing Salve as its first product. The company created this Salve to bring on camping trips, to heal any minor cuts and scrapes that might happen. At the time, there was nothing like Healing Salve on the market. Rainwater Botanicals thought it was about time that someone went to kitchen and concocted an ointment would be gentle on the skin, and gentle to animals. So, they did it.

Paul Mitchell Partners with Conservation Group Sea Shepherd

Since you’re on this page, and viewing information about vegan and cruelty-free beauty products, we’re going to guess that you’re concerned with brands’ and companies’ ethics. They surely matter to us, which is why we like to shine the spotlight on those brands and companies that are doing amazing things for animals, and for people and the planet.

Standout Vegan Beauty Products from Mineral Fusion

We love finding vegan and cruelty-free companies that we can easily and conveniently buy from. Mineral Fusion is one of those companies we were thrilled to find, because it makes a nice range of products that you can find at most Whole Foods Markets and other health markets (where you can also shop for vegan and cruelty-free food).

Mineral Fusion’s makeup, skincare products, and nail polishes (and polish removers) are amazing because they keep animals safe, are made with natural ingredients for your good health, and cost about the same or less as the most well-known high-end beauty and skin care products.

The following are some of the Mineral Fusion products that we’re loving right now and that we think stand out among the sea of makeup and skincare products on the market right now:

Ladybug Jane Vegan Natural Lotions: Check Out Our Favorite One

One of the best vegan lotions we’ve come across lately is a luxurious coconut hand and body lotion from Ladybug Jane, a vegan brand that offers quite a few beautiful lotion varieties as well as a great range of fun lip balms.

Ladybug Jane’s Coconut Luxury Hyaluronic Acid Lotion was on sample at our local Whole Foods Market, and with one test pump and application, we were hooked. This price for the lotion was higher than some of the other vegan lotions at Whole Foods, but we thought the purchase was worth it for many reasons. The lotion’s scent was fabulous, light and refreshing, and the formula was one of the most moisturizing we’ve felt. We only needed a little product to cover both of our hands, on top and the palms, and we instantly noticed a difference in the softness of our skin. Hydration lasted for hours.

Dr. Hauschka Vegan and Organic Beauty Products

Dr. Hauschka is a beauty products brand that vegans can feel comfortable buying from. The company sells all-natural, organic, and cruelty-free products made “to support the healing of humanity and the earth,” which means they’re not manufactured with harsh chemicals, they’re never tested on animals, and they contain ingredients that are sustainable.

Dr. Hauschka’s Rose Deodorant

The weather is warming up, which means that many people might be breaking their deodorants out of their bathroom cabinets and using them in hopes of smelling fresh when body odor is a possibility. If you’ve been feeling the need to apply a deodorant to stay great-smelling during hot weather, or if you think you might need to in the near future, consider Dr. Hauschka’s Rose Deodorant for your next purchase.

To soothe the body and the spirit, vegans have Ayres natural aromatherapy products as options. Ayers products are pure, honest, and cruelty-free and they come from a brand that finds inspiration in a beautiful place: Buenos Aires, Argentina. Ayers’ aromatherapy creams, body butters, and soaps reflect the carefree and gorgeous “streets, bars and women of Buenos Aires, Argentina.” Hence the company’s name, Ayres, which is Spanish for Aires – a word that means ‘fair winds.”

We were on the hunt for more vegan and cruelty-free nail polishes, because spring’s nearly here and the weather has been ideal for showing off our perfectly pedicured toes.

Lauren B. Beauty’s vegan polishes popped up on our radar, and we’re glad they did because they come in amazing colors and they’re all natural – which means we stay safe while animals are safe.

Hi Wildflower Botanica Vegan and Cruelty-Free Perfumes and Body Products

If you’re looking for a vegan and cruelty-free perfume that will take you from day to night, turn to a scent from Hi Wildflower Botanica.

Corpa Flora’s mission is to offer “a daily skin care ritual which is simple and nutritive for the skin.” We love the fact that Corpa Flora tries hard to keep animals safe and protected, while keeping humans free from harm at the same time.

Goddess Garden Organics’ Vegan Mineral Sunscreens

If you’re the type of person who makes buying decisions based on how your choice will affect you, animals, and the planet, you might want to check out the line of skincare products from Goddess Garden Organics. The company makes all-natural, responsible, vegan and cruelty-free mineral sunscreens for kids and for adults.

We recently found Goddess Garden Organics and we immediately loved the company’s line. It’s small, with probably less than a dozen products in it, but each product is made just like we’d make it ourselves, if we knew how to make organic, sustainable, vegan skincare products.

‘Ohana Organics Vegan Body Butters, Tattoo Creams, and Solid Perfumes

We love the idea that all beautiful things come from love. This is true in so many circumstances in life, including in the making of ‘Ohana Organics skin care products.

‘Ohana Organics is a boutique skin care company that lovingly crafts body butters, salves, and solid perfumes that represent the beauty of the Hawaiian Islands and draw from them as inspiration.

But, please do! Soap Korner’s soaps are made for enjoying, so go ahead and put them out for all to see, and once they’ve been used up, delight in ordering a new batch of the beauties.

Our Favorite Hippie Heaven Vegan Skincare Products

We recently told you about Hippie Heaven, a vegan beauty company that makes natural skincare products out of Victoria, Australia, a region that’s lush and perfect for sourcing ingredients like yummy botanicals, oils, and herbs for our skin’s pleasure.

Hippie Heaven formulates skincare products that give consumers real results, at a price point that lets nearly everyone enjoy cruelty-free and natural beauty. Since Hippie Heaven’s beginning, the company has chosen to craft its range of products with 100% vegan and cruelty-free ingredients. It’s always held this commitment as a priority, even when it expanded its initial line of natural skincare.

3 Great All-Natural Vegan Soap Bars

A beautiful, and great-smelling, bar of soap can add so much joy to a bathroom or kitchen. We love having vegan and cruelty-free bar soaps in our soap dishes so much that, sometimes, we take up to 20 minutes examining the selection of aromatic and gorgeous bars in our local health store just to pick out the most perfect one.
Usually, we find a handful of soaps that we could easily buy on the spot. So, we’ve found that what works best for us is simply choosing one that calls to us, either because of the scent or color (moisturizing ingredients). Then, we enjoy that bar until it’s a little sliver that we can’t handle anymore and set out to purchase another amazing one.

Perennial Soaps Vegan Soap Bars and Skincare Products

Perennial Soaps creates cold process, vegan, and cruelty-free soaps and bath products from small handcrafted batches. The company’s artisanal line of soaps is free of palm oil, paraben, and detergents, and it’s made with a simple list of ingredients that work together in perfect pure form to deliver gentle cleansing.

Pyur Vegan Skincare for Mamas and Babies

When it comes to choosing pure skincare for moms and babies, vegans sometimes face a challenge. There are not always tons of options for gentle and cruelty-free skincare for sensitive skin when we’re searching in retail stores. Which means soon-to-be, and current moms, often have to turn to online sources for vegan creams, washes, and treatments.

Because this is what we’re use to, we went looking on the web for some vegan and cruelty-free products that mamas and their babies could feel good about using. We found Pyur Vegan and Cruelty-Free Skincare for Mamas and Babies, and we’re happy we did. Pyur is a brand that sells skincare products safe enough for moms and their little ones to use daily, and it’s a company that offers products that keep animals out of the skincare equation.

Natralia Vegan and Cruelty-Free Skincare

Natralia Skincare is a vegan and cruelty-free skincare brand that focuses on efficiency and innovation. Each product in the Natralia line is a result of exhaustive research that stresses high quality, pharmaceutical-grade ingredients as well as the way science can work with nature to keep our skin healthy.

Testing of raw materials in all Natralia products is rigorous, so that the line can always deliver benefits the consumer needs. But, testing is never done on animals and we’re thankful for that.

Billy Jealousy Vegan and Cruelty-Free Beauty and Skincare

We recently discovered Billy Jealousy vegan beauty products and we wanted to share them with you. Billy Jealousy products are fun, edgy, and fantastic. They’re products that meet a variety of skincare and beauty needs, and we’re guessing that they’ll do the same for you.

Billy Jealously products are modern and exciting. There’s absolutely nothing boring or every-day about them, so use them when you want to feel you’re staying on the cutting edge. Billy Jealousy products are formulas that we think will help transform vegan beauty, and beauty in general, and we can’t wait to get our hands on more of them.

Certain Dri Vegan and Cruelty-Free Deodorant

If you’re trying to find a vegan and cruelty-free deodorant that will control excessive sweat, we suggest you check out Certain Dri. Certain Dri is a leader when it comes to deodorant that’s natural, animal-free, never tested on animals, and super effective. Certain Dri will certainly leave you feeling dry, even if you regularly deal with stains under your armpits. The effective formula also works well to combat body odor and to leave you smelling great.

Natracare Feminine Hygiene Products

We’ve been thinking about feminine hygiene products lately because we were surprised to find out that many companies who make these products test them on animals. It’s beyond our imagination why a business would harm an animal in the process of making tampons and pads for women. We think it’s a no brainer that a company producing feminine hygiene products would create them out of safe ingredients, like certified organic cotton or other non-toxic materials, so that there would be no need to test for safety on animals.

Maxim Cruelty-Free Feminine Hygiene Products

We’re always trying to make sure we live a cruelty-free lifestyle, which is why we were concerned to find out that some feminine hygiene products are tested on animals. This seems absurd to us. We’re not even going to go into the rationale that might be behind this, all we want to know is which feminine hygiene products are cruelty free and don’t involve animals in their production.

In our search for a line of feminine hygiene products that we could use and still keep our ethics, we found Maxim. We were super happy that this line of tampons doesn’t contain anything that comes from an animal and its not tested on animals. We were beyond thrilled to also find out that Maxim tampons are 100% Certified Organic and chlorine free.

Skyn ICELAND Vegan Skincare Products

Skyn ICELAND is one of the vegan beauty brands we’ve newly discovered. This brand is on a mission, it says, to “treat and alleviate the effects of stress on the skin while promoting a stress-free life full of balance, health, and wellness.”

We love this. This is what we are hoping for in our lives, and we wish the same for you. So, we’re thrilled to be able to try, and share, these healthy, and vegan, beauty products.

We’re grateful that Skyn ICELAND wants to take care of human health while also keeping animals safe. This is a noble goal, we invite you to learn more about the company and support it in its mission.

NCLA Vegan Nail Polishes

Looking for some great vegan nail polishes? We were. We know its still winter where we live, and our toes are usually bundled up in our warmest boots. But, we still like to hit the beach on occasion and sink our bare feet into the sand, or just look pretty with colorful toenails while walking around in our warm house.

Which means, we need to keep a stock of incredible vegan nail polishes in our bathroom. So, we thought we’d search for some cruelty-free polishes that come in a range of beautiful colors. Even though we already have a fair amount of vegan nail lacquers lining our shelves right now, it’s always fun to find a new shade and in our recent search we found many.

We discovered NCLA, a vegan and cruelty-free beauty company based out of Los Angeles that formulates stunning animal-free polishes. NCLA makes a line of nail lacquers that we love mostly because they don’t involve animals in their creative. But, it’s also a top line in our mind because all of the nail polishes are non-toxic.

Sibu Vegan Beauty Products

Sibu Beauty offers an exclusive line of beauty products that are meant to make you look, and feel, better. This cruelty-free company formulates its products knowing that, each day, we’re under constant stress from the environment and other sources. It also recognizes that the animals who share our planet with us are under stress, and it feels a need to protect the earth from damage caused naturally and by humans.

So, Sibu makes vegan and cruelty-free products that don’t clog landfills, aren’t manufactured with harsh chemicals, and are packaged responsibly. It formulates these beauty products without the use of animal ingredients and without testing on animals.

Sparklehearts Natural Vegan Skincare for Girls

If you have a teen, or a tween, who is newly getting into choosing skincare products for herself, you might want to suggest she look at Sparklehearts. Sparklehearts is a natural and vegan skincare brand that makes products for girls that are fun, safe to use, and responsible.

There are a lot of skincare companies that put out products with the intention of luring girls into an exciting world of beauty. Unfortunately, many of these brands offer skincare products that contain questionable ingredients and are manufactured with poor ethics.

As your young girl is discovering how special it is to take care of herself and her skin, she should also know how to choose products that her health, and that of others, in mind.

Sparitual Vegan Nail Polishes and Nail Care Products

Sparitual’s motto is “Slow Beauty for a Fast World.” We love that. We love the fact that in today’s mass-produced and mass-marketed society, we can find easy, gentle, and calming products that treat our bodies, and the bodies of animals, with respect and care.

Shel Pink created Sparitual in 2004. She launched the brand with a clear mission in mind, to enlighten the consumer about natural and vegan skincare. From the beginning, she made many heads turn in the spa industry with her innovation and forward thinking. The intention for Sparitual was to offer products that honored the collective body, mind, and spirit. Apparently, the masses agree that a busy and complicated world doesn’t need to include mindless, and unsafe, skincare and beauty products.

Eminence Handmade Organic Skincare: Vegan and Cruelty-Free Products from Hungary

If you like high-end, professional quality skincare, but can’t seem to find enough vegan and cruelty-free versions of it, we have a treat for you. We found Eminence Handmade Organic Skincare, a line of animal-friendly skincare products from Hungary that’s super luxurious and made with only the very best ingredients.

Ellovi Vegan Body and Lip Butters

When we found out about Ellovi’s body, and lip butters, we were ecstatic. We love a good, rich, and creamy skin butter that’s also vegan and cruelty-free. Ellovi’s line of butters for the body, and the face, is exciting because it offers many options in terms of scents and flavors. It’s fun to have an abundance of choices in one product category, especially when vegans are used to being somewhat limited when it comes to suitable skincare.

By Nieves Vegan Skincare Products

If you want to try vegan and cruelty-free products from a line of all-natural, and homemade, body care, turn to By Nieves. By Nieves is a skincare company that formulates beautiful, and great-smelling, products that are kind to people and animals. This company believes that good skincare doesn’t need to be complicated. It just has to “be fabulous,” which is an approach that we love.

Vegan and Cruelty-Free Products to Treat Kids’ Eczema

Kids get eczema for a variety of reasons. Sometimes, something in the diet is causing the rashing and itchiness. At other times, stress or the environment surrounding the child (household cleaners, pesticides on lawns, and detergents) leads to breakouts.

If you have a child who suffers from eczema, it’s best to work with a health professional to determine the cause of the condition. While you’re trying to get your child healthy, you can turn to the following vegan and cruelty-free products to soothe your little one’s skin.

Earth Mama Angel Baby Vegan Skincare Products

Do you know about the Earth Mama Angel Baby line of vegan skincare products? If you do, you know how gentle they are and how they actually work like they say they will.

Alterna Vegan Natural Haircare Products

Alterna has been formulating vegan and cruelty-free haircare products since 1997. The company hasn’t been making your run-of-the-mill products, though. It’s been crafting luxury shampoos, conditioners, and other items for the hair that are salon tested and of salon quality.

Lulu & Boo Organics Vegan Body Care Products

We love handmade beauty products. And, we especially love vegan and cruelty-free handmade-types of beauty products that are produced on a large enough scale that tons of people can enjoy them.

We recently found such a brand. We discovered Lulu & Boo, a company that crafts artisan-quality beauty items and sells them online so that everyone can have access to them.

The Spoiled Mama Vegan Skincare Products

For mamas out there who want to find vegan, and cruelty-free, products that will help their skin in a variety of mom-related situations, we suggest checking out The Spoiled Mama. This vegan and cruelty-free skincare brand offers a line of products designed to prevent and lighten stretch marks, help soothe skin while breastfeeding, and generally allow moms a bit of comfort post-baby.

Earth Mama Angel Baby Natural Vegan Nipple Butter

If you’ve ever breastfed, or tried to, you probably know the feeling of cracked, chaffed nipples. It’s one of pain, whenever clothes rub against the breasts or even if they’re just exposed to air. It’s a hurt that’s often worsened by water hitting the nipples in the shower or the continual sucking from baby.

Even though mothers will usually live through any experience for their child, relief that can come to the nipples when breastfeeding is typically well-received. If you’re seeking comfort from sore nipples due to breastfeeding, we have a vegan and cruelty-free remedy that you may want to check out.

We recently discovered Earth Mama Angel Baby Natural Nipple Butter. This natural nipple balm is safe for babies and it brings mamas some much-needed healing.

Tarte Cosmetics Vegan Makeup

Tarte cosmetics began with one woman’s quest for vegan beauty products that were made with pure ingredients. Tarte owner and CEO, Maureen Kelly, wanted to find makeup that was gorgeous and effective, but that didn’t contain yucky, unhealthy ingredients.

She searched many department stores and found a few vegan makeup offering clean products, but she was disappointed in the not-very-luxurious packaging of these items. She, like many other women, want their entire beauty experience to be beautiful, and she didn’t want to have to hide her makeup.

Lucy B. Apothecary Vegan Fragrances

Lucy B. Apothecary sells a vegetarian and cruelty-free line of perfumes (many are vegan) that gives you an outstanding selection of yummy-smelling scents. These fragrances are intoxicating, enticing, and luxurious. They’re made with natural ingredients that promote wellness on a physical, spiritual, and mental level. The Lucy B. Apothecary line offers holistic healing perfumes made with organic essential oils, which can be used to help balance your energies.

The high-profile brand has partnered with Bright Pink®, a national non-profit organization that focuses on prevention and early detection of breast and ovarian cancer, to produce Pink Out Loud beauty products. These products are part of the overall Pink Out Loud campaign, which Paul Mitchel hopes will inspire and empower women to proactively seek out information about breast and ovarian health.

It contributes needed hydration and suppleness to the face and body, and now it’s available in a line of vegan and cruelty-free skincare products from Trilogy.

Ultra-Hydrating Vegan Face Moisturizer

If you’re in need of an ultra-hydrating facial moisturizer, we have some recommendations for you. We find that sometimes our face feels dryer than usual and that it could really use a moisturizer with extra hydrating power. We know some friends and family members who suffer from dry skin now and then too, sometimes on a continual basis. We’re sure they would love a product that offered some relief, and we thought you might too.

Top Vegan Beauty Products at Whole Foods

If you have a Whole Foods Market near you, you have one of the best sources of vegan beauty products available to you without having to order online.

LUSH Vegetarian Skincare Products for Winter Hands

We don’tk now about you, but we’re finding the dry fall weather a bit hard on our hands. And, we’re anticipating that winter weather will be just as challenging.

We wanted to find some vegetarian products for the hands that would keep them soft and protect them from the elements. We were tired of dry and flaky hands, and we needed a little encouragement that there were some super-moisturizing (and healing) products out there that could give us some relief.

Vegan Perfumes to Give as Holiday Gifts

Are you thinking about giving a vegan perfume as a holiday gift this year? We’re considering it, even for our friends and family members who aren’t vegan. There are some amazing and luxurious perfumes on the market that anyone could love, whether they know about vegan beauty products or not.

For vegans, receiving one of these cruelty-perfumes would be a double gift. They would have a sweet-smelling fragrance to wear and the animals they love wouldn’t be harmed. If you’re giving a vegan perfume to someone who doesn’t yet know about the cruelty involved in manufacturing most beauty products, perhaps your gift will be just what’s needed to prove that luxury and enjoyment can be had without hurting a living creature.

Vegan Beauty Products You Can Buy at Target

Even though it’s sometimes challenging to find vegan beauty products, we’re thrilled with the effort that many retailers are making to stock more vegan fragrances, cleansers, makeup, and other items for the skin. In particular, we love that Target now offers a fair amount of vegan beauty products, which means that we can get affordable things we need without having to wait for them to arrive in the mail.

Vegan and Cruelty-Free Moisturizers for Winter

Winter is upon us, which means weather is getting colder and air is getting dryer. This also means that many people may be dealing with dry skin.
