Veganism is moving into the mainstream, with more people either fully adopting the lifestyle or at the very least, considering it.
Veganism doesn’t just mean avoiding certain foods or clothing items, animal cruelty actually extends to our everyday cosmetic products and their raw materials – ones that we apply to our skin!

Trying to understand the list of ingredients on products can also be confusing. If you’re a label reader, you know ingredients such as beeswax, carmine and gelatin saturate the cosmetic products markets; however these are a no-go for essence vegan products.
If you’re keen to jump on the conscious living wagon, rest assured, essence remains strictly cruelty free – as it has done for 18 years – and has a huge range of products that have zero animal-derived ingredients. The best part? You still get to look and feel your ultimate best, guilt free.
Here is a round-up of a few of our favorite products from essence that’ll help you include veganism into the buzzwords of your lifestyle. All these goodies are vegan and cruelty free.
