It's not just during veganuary [1] that people decide to try a vegan lifestyle, some people decide to cut out all animal-derived foods and other dabble in it. Whether you're doing it for health reasons, to protect animals, or to help the planet, it's not just food that you should be conscious of in your quest to go animal-free; beauty products should be top of your mind, too.
Luckily, choosing vegan beauty products doesn't mean limiting your choices. Though ingredients like lanolin, beeswax, and honey are used widely in the beauty industry, you'd be surprised how many of your favourite beauty brands produce vegan products. If you're looking to be more conscious with your routine, here are some of our editor's favourite vegan beauty products.
