More and more people are choosing plant-based, vegan options in their diet. If you’re one of them – or even if you’re not – consider giving your cosmetics bag a vegan makeover too.

While you might assume your favorite cosmetics are automatically vegan, the surprising truth is that a lot of them contain a range of animal products.

If the thought of smearing processed animal parts across your face and body grosses you out (yuk!) then you’ll be pleased to know that more and more beauty lines are either including clearly-labeled vegan options, or changing all their products to be vegan-friendly.
