When it comes to shopping for makeup or other cosmetic products, there are so many options out there. Many people are now turning to vegan cosmetics due to the numerous benefits that it provides.

But what is vegan cosmetics, and what should be paid attention to when creating it? Let’s take a look at what vegan private label cosmetic means, why it’s better than other types of private label cosmetics, and why you should choose vegan private label cosmetics.

Vegan vs. Cruelty-Free Cosmetics – What’s the Diffe­rence?

1. What are vegan private label cosmetics?

The term vegan refers to any product that does not contain animal deriva­tives or bypro­ducts in its compo­sition. This means that vegan private label cosmetic products are free from things like honey, beeswax, lanolin, collagen, chole­sterol, and glycerin.

Vegan private label cosmetics may also be free from other animal-derived ingre­dients such as carmine (a red food coloring derived from cochineal insects), lard (animal fat), and gelatin (which is made from animal bones).

In addition to being free from animal bypro­ducts, vegan cosmetics must also not be tested on animals—this means that all testing has been done using alter­native methods such as computer simulation or in vitro testing (testing on cell cultures). ​

2. What are cruelty-free private label cosmetics?

The term cruelty-free refers to any private label cosmetic product that has not been tested on animals at any stage of its develo­pment or production process. However, cosmetic products labeled cruelty-free are not neces­s­arily vegan—these products may still contain animal deriva­tives or bypro­ducts.

For example, private label cosmetics could be labeled as cruelty-free even if it contains honey or beeswax because these cosmetic ingre­dients have never been tested on animals. ​

3. Are vegan and cruelty-free private label cosmetics the same thing?

No, although many private label cosmetic products can be both vegan and cruelty-free, they are two different things.

It’s important to note that while all vegans are against animal cruelty, not all cruelty free products are vegan, as some still contain animal-derived ingre­dients.

Diffe­rences Between Vegan and Non-Vegan Cosmetics

When it comes to cosmetics speci­fi­cally, there are some distinct diffe­rences between vegan and non-vegan options.

For starters, vegan cosmetics, such as lipstick, brushes, eyeshadow etc., tend to be free of preser­va­tives like parabens and fragrances that can be irritating to sensitive skin.

Additio­nally, vegan cosmetics usually don’t contain oil deriva­tives like petroleum jelly or mineral oil, which can clog pores and cause breakouts. Finally, vegan cosmetics is often considered more ethical since no animals were harmed in its production or testing phases.

Make sure you get an official certi­fi­cation label such as PETA-certified or The Vegan Society’s Logo for your products and let your customers know by placing the logo on the packaging. If these logos aren’t present, customers can also take a look at the list of ingre­dients on the back of the product; if there are any animal derived substances listed then it’s not suitable for vegans.

Vegan Cosmetics are better for our planet

Creating a vegan makeup company has many advan­tages over tradi­tional companies that use animal-derived ingre­dients in their formulas.

For starters, it’s much better for the environment since plant-based ingre­dients require less water and land to produce than animal-derived ones.

Plus, they don’t require any harsh chemicals or pesti­cides which can cause long-term damage to our planet.

Vegan Cosmetics are better for the animals

The most obvious benefit of manufac­turing vegan cosmetics, is the peace of mind that comes with knowing you are using a product that has not been tested on animals nor contains any animal bypro­ducts.

Beyond this ethical conside­ration, companies that create vegan cosmetics offer many practical services to customers.

Better for sensitive people thanks to natural ingre­dients

Additio­nally, since many non-vegan cosmetics contain synthetic preser­va­tives to prolong shelf life, switching to vegan options can be beneficial for people with sensitive skin as natural preser­va­tives are often gentler than synthetics and irritants like artificial colors or fragrances.

Many vegan cosmetic products contain natural oils, which can help moisturize skin without clogging pores.

This makes them ideal for people with sensitive skin or allergies who may have trouble finding products that work for them otherwise.
