Are you looking for ethical perfume options? If there’s one thing I need before heading out, is to put on vegan perfume! There’s nothing better than smelling nice, and it can boost your spirits.
Whether you’re looking for a perfume for yourself or for a gift, you will have plenty of options in this post.
This post is all about vegan and cruelty-free perfume brands.
Vegan and Cruelty-Free Perfume Brands That You Will LOVE
Why vegan perfumes?
Because when you buy vegan perfumes you are not supporting the testing on poor animals. Also, you will be glad to know you are not using products with animal-derived ingredients.
You can check out my collection of my favorite oil-based perfumes.
Do you have a favorite cruelty-free and vegan perfume? Let me know in the comments!
What are some perfume ingredients that are not vegan?
A lot of conventional perfumes unfortunately use animal-derived ingredients. Whether you’re vegan or not I think you would be grossed out to know they are in the products you use.
Some of these common ingredients derived from animals are ambergris (a grey and waxy substance produced in the digestive tract of sperm whales), castoreum (derived from beavers), cat musk, deer musk (secreted from the glands of male musk deer), lanolin, and hyraceum. If you look up these ingredients you’ll see why it’s better to use vegan perfumes.
Where are the best places to buy cruelty-free and vegan perfumes?
There are many websites that make it easy to find vegan perfumes. Keep in mind you can use Rakuten on some of these sites to get free cash back when you purchase online. The following sites are some of the most popular:
