The Veganuary may have ended, but the rise of vegan products in beauty routines continues unabated. Whether you're looking to transition to vegan skincare or are already on your way, here are some standout beauty products free from animal-derived ingredients.

MANTLE The Body Retinoil

Body care is just as essential as facial care and deserves a place in your daily regimen.

Combining ingredients typically reserved for facial products, it features Granactive Retinoid, Bakuchiol, broccoli seed oil, Vitamin E, and chlorophyll. The oil absorbs quickly, leaving skin smoother. Granactive Retinoid reduces wrinkles and dark spots without irritation, while Bakuchiol promotes skin elasticity and is gentle on sensitive skin.

Important Note

Since March 2013, the European cosmetics regulation prohibits the sale of cosmetics in the EU that have been tested on animals or contain animal-tested ingredients. It is also forbidden to test finished cosmetic products on animals. However, the EU Commission may grant exceptions in certain cases. Notably, cosmetic ingredients that are also used in other products (like cleaning agents or medications) may still be tested on animals for reasons other than compliance with cosmetics regulations. This applies not only to cosmetics but also to other applications of the same substances.
