Because the seasons that are upon us often call for baring our arms, legs, and other body parts, we were looking for a moisturizer that protected skin from the sun and and kept it from getting dry.
Now that the weather is warming up where we live, we’re wearing clothes that are showing a bit more of our body, which means we’re trying to get our skin in perfect glowing condition. We’ve been using exfoliating scrubs almost every day lately, so that our hands, arms, neck, buns, legs, and feet will be bump-free, bright, and radiant when we step out in our shorts, tank tops, and skirts.

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.
Bare Bones Body Care is a skincare company that creates products with sensitive skin in mind. If you suffer from skin reactions or skin allergies, you might want to check out Bare Bones and its line of cleansers, moisturizers, skin serums, and other necessities.

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.
Sometimes life is hard on a body. It presents twists and turns, ups and down, that come in the form of babies, extra weight gained due to stress, and even challenging growth spurts.
We’re not saying that we would necessarily do without any of these experiences, because we know that with change comes great people, lessons, and moments. But, we do sometimes wish we could limit the lines on our bodies that serve as hash marks for various milestones in life. We’re perfectly content keeping mental tally marks beyond minimal markings.
If you have a few stretch marks, as we do, that you’d like to see fade away even slightly, or if you’re anticipating a time in your life when stretch marks could turn your body into a permanent score card, you can use the following vegan stretch mark creams and oils.

Hands are parts of the body that seem to need moisturizing on a constant basis. Maybe it’s because we wash them often or perhaps it’s due to the fact that they’re exposed to the elements more than other areas on our bodies.
We usually need to apply cream to our hands at least 2 or 3 times a day. So, we went on the hunt for some vegan and cruelty-free hand creams that offered a lot of value for our dollar.

You can be pretty sure that a company loves animals if it calls itself Meow Meow Tweet. And, if it puts cute pictures of kitties and feathered friends on its product labels. Oh, and photos of other furry friends too.
And, if it shows all of these animals joyfully playing together, getting along like everyone on earth should.
We love the whimsical nature, with a serious message, that’s displayed all over the Meow Meow Tweet packaging. We adore how precious little creatures are depicted just meowing and tweeting around, without a care in the world, because that’s what we wish for animal and bird friends.
Meow Meow Tweet’s stance on veganism and kindness to animals is clear the minute you look at the brand’s soaps as well as its body care, facial care, and baby products.

We love when we find small companies that take on big agendas, like keeping animals safe and committing to crafting only vegan products. We recently discovered such a company.

If you’re looking for natural, vegan skin care products, some of the best are pure essential oils. Essential oils are usually single-oil or multi-oil products that are just that: oil. They don’t typically contain any other additives like parabens, synthetic ingredients, preservatives, or other lab-created substances. They’re almost always straight from nature (plants only) and they’re not tested on animals, unless you come across some funky product from a questionable brand.
Essential oils are sourced from flowers, trees, shrubs, and other plants that offer beneficial properties for the skin. They’re essences that are good for you, so you don’t have to worry about any harmful chemicals (again, make sure they’re from a company that sells pure products).

Most men’s deodorants on the market not only contain extremely harmful ingredients for humans, they’re made in ways that hurt animals. Your typical men’s deodorant contains some animal ingredients and it’s tested on animals. Not good, in as far as we’re concerned.
We know that smelling good and fresh is a priority for many gentlemen (and ladies, but from our experience, sometimes men require deodorant more than women). But, we also feel that staying healthy and keeping animals alive is a bigger priority.
Which is why we’ve come up with a list of some cruelty-free, safe-ingredient men’s deodorants that we think you should try (or you should buy for the man in your life).
It’s exciting to find a vegan beauty line with a wide range of products. Ones that can take care of your hair in many ways and also tend to your skin. Giovanni Cosmetics offers such a line.

As we mentioned last week, We’re starting a new “best of” series. The “best of” series features our favorite vegan beauty products in each category. Last week we featured our favorite skin serum, this week we’re featuring our favorite moisturizer, Prtty Peaushun skin tightening lotion.
“Prtty Peaushun” (pronounced, simply, “pretty potion”) skin tightening lotion has a raw, vegan ingredients list that is drool-worthy: arnica, calendula flower, and green tea (anti-inflammatory ingredients), Blue Vervain Leaf (relieves muscle aches and pains), and Allantoin (promotes natural production of collagen/elastin). Many even use Prtty Peaushun in their hair to benefit even further from these lush, nourishing ingredients to give their hair an extra sheen.
We’ve reviewed scores of vegetarian and cruelty-free beauty products over the years, and it’s hard to chose the best. There are so many contenders out there. But the best doesn’t simply mean the most effective; our standards are higher than that. It means the most effective, vegan, cruelty-free and purest products out there. We’re starting our new “best of” series, that covers our favorite vegan beauty products in each category, starting with skin serum.

Often in our quest to find vegan and cruelty-free beauty products, we forget that the simplest ingredients and products work wonderfully to keep us looking our best.

Here are a few of our favorite beauty tips and tricks that are kind to animals, and your bank account.
We love The Orange Owl cruelty-free and completely vegan beauty product line, and not just because of the cute name. We also love it because founder Akshata Nayak started the company with being kind to animals and the environment in mind. Akshata practices what she preaches, literally. She currently owns a holistic health practice with her husband in Vermont.
As we say “goodbye” to summer and “hello” to fall, something will be greeting us in addition to soy pumpkin lattes, hoodies, and bonfires: dry skin. Sadly, problem aeas such as ankles can get even more overlooked as it’s easier to stop paying as much attention to them when we trade our sandals for boots.
We often come across vegan and cruelty-free beauty products that are done so as an afterthought, or even inadvertently. “Vegan by accident” as many know it. That is why we love finding companies who wear their “vegan and cruelty-free” badge proudly on their sleeves, like Antho organic, vegan and eco-friendly beauty products. Antho has an entire pae of their website dedicated to education of vegan and cruelty-free beauty products, and what it means to truly be both.

Many health-conscious consumers are always There’s no denying that hot weather brings more sweat. Traditional deodorants and antiperspirants contain ingredients such as aluminum, parabens, propylene glycol and phthlates, which have been collectively linked to issues such as breast cancer, Alzheimer’s disease, birth defects, central nervous system damage, liver damage, heart damage, hormone receptor disruption and cell mutation.
Summer is here and it is harder to cover up that dry and patchy skin when you have to wear less clothing. As any compassionate consumer knows, it is difficult to find a good lotion that doesn’t contain lanolin, a hidden cruel contender amongst many so-called “cruelty free” lines.
Summer is here and we are head over heels for the Lush Beach Box. We all love Lush Cosmetics: between their expansive vegan cosmetic and personal care line, and their staunch stance against animal testing, they are a vegan fasionista’s dream.
Nude Skincare, a vegetarian and cruelty-free skincare line, recently put its money where its mouth is: by including free samples of its star skincare product, ProGenius skincare treatment oil, with in-store Sephora purchases.
Anyone who is vegan and/or a consumer of only cruelty-free products knows that it is difficult to find a fragrance that is both vegan and cruelty-free. So when we find products that meet the full criteria, such as Lavanila, we literally jump for joy.
Jack Black Authentic and Original fills a much needed gap in the area of compassionate personal care products for men. It seems like, when it comes to compassionate personal hygiene and grooming products that are both cruelty free and vegan, men get the short end of the stick.
