When looking for clean ingredient skincare formulas, it’s easy to turn to vegan skincare. The word “vegan” is commonly associated with wellness. Plus, vegan skincare products remove animal byproducts, which are often toxic. But we have to get away from the idea that vegan skincare automatically means healthy skincare. It simply doesn’t. In fact, many vegan brands are driving the use of more chemical ingredients. They use toxic fillers, inorganic ingredients, and preservative-heavy formulas. Most chemicals are still vegan. How do we find a happy medium? This requires getting to the bottom of what we actually want from our skincare. Things like… 💙 Ingredients that are safe and good for our skin 💙 Nature-based formulas 💙 Eco-friendly products we feel good about using The truth is, most vegan skincare doesn’t achieve this. But intentional, nature-inspired formulas and animal-based skincare can get us one step closer. #detoxera #animalbasedskincare #organicskincare
