Are Your Razors Vegan?
Did you know that some razors are not vegan? We didn’t, until we started doing a bit of research on vegan and cruelty-free shaving products.
If you’re currently shaving with a razor that has any kind of gel strip, or moisturizing, strip on it, your razor may not be vegan.
Many of these razors’ strips contain animal ingredients or contain ingredients that are tested on animals. Some companies, like Gillette (a Proctor & Gamble company), sell razors that contain animal ingredients and ingredients tested on animals.

Vegan Dental Floss
Did you know that not all dental floss is vegan? We didn’t, up until a few years ago. It seems absurd to us that a dental floss would have animal products in it or be tested on animals. How do you even test dental floss on an animal? Forget it, we don’t want to know.
We just want to hear about more companies that are making vegan and cruelty-free flosses. It seems easy enough to us to leave animals out of the dental floss equation. Their lives are more important than our flossing needs, and we can create floss that doesn’t have animals in it. Enough said.
Natural Vegan Mouthwashes
Vegans often find it hard to believe that a product one would think should be animal free actually isn’t. Many times, a product you’d assume was vegan and cruelty fee contains weird animal ingredients or it’s for some reason been tested animals.
We ran into this situation when searching for mouthwash. We thought we’d find a lot of simple, animal-free solutions made with antibacterial and refreshing plant essences. These ingredients are all we thought was needed to keep the mouth fresh and clean. But, when it was time to buy our mouthwash, we saw less than a handful of suitable products for a vegan and compassionate person.
We should mention that we were also looking for an all-natural mouthwash. But still, we were surprised at the lack of choices in our local store. It seems so silly to us to have to designate a mouthwash as vegan, but since we must, the following are the standout vegan products that you can buy in your local Whole Foods market.
Natural, Vegan, and Cruelty-Free Diaper Wipes
Finding an all-natural diaper wipe that’s gentle on your baby’s bottom is sometimes hard. Finding a natural baby wipe that’s also vegan, and cruelty-free, can be especially difficult.
Babies’ skin is extremely sensitive, which means it makes sense to only put gentle, natural products on it. We wish this made sense to more companies. And, we wish that these companies realized that animals are also sensitive. Animals don’t like having their parts being used in products, like wipes, and they don’t want to be tested on so that a baby’s buns can be cleaned.
Thankfully, there are some companies that make natural and vegan diaper wipes that keep everyone happy. We love them because they make babies’, animals’, and parents’ needs as a priority. We thought you might love them too.
Vegan Foot Soaks
Sometimes, it can seem like summer is the hardest season on feet. Summer begs one to either go barefoot or to wear flip-flops, which exposes feet and does a real number on them. But, when fall and winter come around, feet are bound up in boots and in closed-toe shoes. Which means they’re often neglected.
So, if you’re like us, you may find that you’re in need of a good, comforting, and softening foot soak all year long. Thankfully, there are some amazing vegan and cruelty-free foot soaks out there that you can dip your feet into, so that all stress feet are under floats away.
Vegan Facial Serums
Sometimes applying a nourishing plant-based serum to your face can be exactly what’s needed to hydrate or soften the skin.

Top Cruelty-Free Perfume Brands
If you’re like a lot of ladies, a dab of perfume on the neck and wrists can set you up for a fabulous day, or night. A fragrance applied as an accompaniment to the perfect outfit, or as your something sensual when you’re sporting jeans and a tee, can put a sultry smile on your face or a perk in your step.
It’s nice to feel confident and good about yourself, and let animals keep feeling good too. Which is why we love to find vegan and cruelty-free perfume brands that we can turn to for any occasion.

Ask Aveda to Stop Supporting Cruelty to Roosters by the Feather Hair Extensions Industry

Five Natural Beauty Product Companies that are Owned by Big Corporations Who are not Cruelty Free or Environmentally Ethical

This constitutes a 6% increase in sales over the year before.

Pirouette Professional Cruelty-Free, Vegan Makeup Brushes
We absolutely love it when we come across vegan, cruelty-free makeup brushes.

Many people believe that the fur is simply cut off of the animal, but in many cases it is fur that is considered too poor quality for clothing. In cases when it is simply trimmed off of the animal, such as horse hair tools, there is no reliable way of knowing the life that the animals lead.
