Aging is a natural part of life. Many Skincare brands are targeting older consumers, advertising that their products can help solve skin issues such as wrinkles, sagging, fine lines, dark spots and dryness.
So, what kind of skincare is best to tackle skin issues that come with aging? Can Vegan Skincare do the trick?
In this article, we will answer the question ‘is Vegan skincare anti-aging?’, which we hope you find useful.
What is vegan skincare?
Vegan skincare refers to personal care and cosmetic products that are not tested on animals, making them 100% cruelty-free. Whereas non-vegan skincare brands may test their products on animals, prior to selling them to the public.
In vegan skincare products, none of the ingredients used is from animals – so you will not find things such as animal hair, beeswax, gelatine, carmine, shellac and collagen.
In contrast, non-vegan skincare products do use these animal-derived ingredients in their creams, lotions, shampoos, makeup, makeup removers, nail polishes, and more.
Additionally, vegan skincare brands tend to incorporate more natural herbs and plant-based ingredients in their products.
Whereas, non-vegan companies tend to use artificial colourants, preservatives and pollutants. These chemicals can be super harmful to your health because they are man-made, full of fragrances and are more likely to irritate the skin.
What are the benefits of vegan skincare?
Certain active cosmetic ingredients can be absorbed through the skin during pregnancy, which may pass into the bloodstream and thus affect the unborn baby.
That is why it is important to choose pregnancy-safe skincare products and read the ingredients carefully every time you shop for cosmetic items.
So, what advantages does vegan skincare bring, not just for mums, but for anyone of any age?
• No animals are harmed in the making of vegan skincare products. This is an ethical way to shop. There is no reason why our furry friends should have to suffer cruelty just for our consumption as consumers, especially when their bodies and physiology are totally different to that of humans.
• Vegan products are healthier for the body and skin, due to the focus on natural, plant-based ingredients. These natural ingredients are rich in antioxidants and have natural anti-inflammatory effects, while also being free from additives and harsh chemicals that clog up your pores.
• Shopping for vegan skincare reduces your carbon footprint, as the products are made in sustainable ways. For instance, the packaging will be recyclable, rather than made of plastic, which will end up in a landfill and take decades to decompose.
Is vegan skincare anti-aging?
So, is vegan skincare anti-aging?
Well, yes, it is safe to say that vegan skincare offers amazing anti-aging benefits.
Due to the emphasis on natural, earthy ingredients, vegan products are often abundant in powerful nutrients and antioxidants, like vitamin C.
Plant-based ingredients like jojoba, chamomile and lavender help keep your skin cells healthy, by hydrating the skin, reducing irritation, and killing bacteria that clog up your pores.
There is a whole world of vegan ingredients out there, that are naturally anti-aging.
For instance, the ingredient bakuchiol, which is derived from the seeds of the babchi plant, is a wonderful alternative to retinol. Bakuchiol can help reduce wrinkles and improve skin tone, while also being pregnancy-safe.
So, vegan skincare is terrific because it doesn’t need artificial ingredients and harmful chemicals to give it that ‘anti-aging factor’.
