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.
Want more ideas for fantastic vegan beauty products to try? We thought you would, so we have a few goodies for you. The following are some vegan perfumes, lotions, and scrubs that you can either purchase in your local health food market or easily buy online.

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.

Zion Health, a leading natural health product manufacturer, offers an amazing line of vegan body lotions that we thought you’d want to know about.

Adama Minerals vegan body lotions are available at some health food stores in the country, such as Hy-Vee Health Food in Blue Springs, Missouri. They’re also available online.
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. We found some amazing ones. And guess what? We found vegan and cruelty-free hand creams that used organic plants as ingredients.

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.

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. We spend so much time looking for products with the most natural and minimal ingredients, it’s easy to forget that these products are often in our own pantries. 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.
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.
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.

Their vegan and cruelty-free formulas are full of luxurious butters and oils to protect the skin and keep the winter weather from turning it to dry leather.

The journey to creating Kokokahn vegan and cruelty-free beauty products began with founder Tracy Dalrymple’s time in Japan. Traci was introduced to natural healing and wellness through the use of essential oils. From there, Salrymple began studying about essential oils and plants for aromatherapy and holistic healing. It wasn’t long before she traveled to Bali to learn even more about aromatherapy, and that was where she found the inspiration for the name of her company, Kokokahn. It is derived from the Balinese word “kokokan,” which means “white heron.”

When it comes to vegan and cruelty-free beauty and health products for your baby, the pickings are slim. It seems like every baby product company out there wants to put mineral oil, a petroleum-based product that is not healthy for the skin (link to our article), in their products. Nature’s Baby Organics vegan and cruelty-free baby beauty and health products aims to provide natural, yet effective, products to keep your baby safe.
The All Natural Face vegan and cruelty-free beauty products were made for those with sensitive skin who find that conventional makeup irritates their skin.

We happened upon Petal Fresh Organics vegan and cruelty-free beauty products by accident. We were at a discount store and were shocked to see a shampoo and conditioner set donning the PETA “cruelty free and vegan” logo. We were also admittedly slightly suspicious over its $3.99/bottle price tag. While we love our organic beauty products, the common downside is that they are often pricier since the ingredients are high quality and made in smaller batches.
Half of being beautiful, if not more, is being healthy. Vegetarian and cruelty-free beauty products like cosmetics and perfume can only take you so far; having healthy and beautiful skin and hair is just as important, if not more so. Keeping the skin beautiful, and healing it when facing maladies such as sunburns and bug bites, is part of what Elemental Herbs does best. Where many products of this type incorporate harsh ingredients like petroleum. Elemental Herbs makes products that have the desired effects of petroleum-based products, such as locking in moisture, without the negative side-effects.
You know that you can feel confident in buying beauty products claiming to be vegan and cruelty-free when the founder herself is a vegan.

Following the philosophy of the ancient Indian holistic healing tradition, Ayurveda, OMHH deeply values their non-profit giving programs as a way to be healthy on the outside and the inside.
We thought we’d take an opportunity to review some men’s products since we tend to focus so much on products that are mainly intended for women.

We were excited to find out about the Herban Cowboy company, devoted to vegan, cruelty-free products for men. Founders Luke and Lisa started the Herban Cowboy on just a few thousand dollars, working out of their log cabin on a dirt road. The entire line was created in their kitchen, with Luke and Lisa both bottling the products by hand.
