With conventional cosmetics, when formulating products, companies typically use ingredients derived from animals such as eggs, milk, cheese, honey, beeswax, lanolin (extracted from sheep's wool), gelatin (a type of collagen from animal bones and skin), cholesterol (a fatty substance from animal cell membranes), albumin (a protein found in animal serum), guanine (a wax colorant produced in the digestive system of fish), pearl powder, and snail gel. Therefore, they often need to include synthetic components like parabens (antimicrobial and antifungal preservatives), alcohol, surfactants, fragrances, and various other chemicals, which can easily irritate sensitive skin.
Using "vegan cosmetics" is akin to consuming raw vegetables and fruits rich in vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants, thereby minimizing the likelihood of irritating sensitive skin and promoting softer skin.
Moreover, there are many reasons why individuals, particularly women, choose vegan cosmetics, such as not harming any innocent animal species, supporting sustainable living, and contributing to Earth's protection.
