<\/p>\n
Vegan makeup brands may have a smaller environmental footprint compared to non-vegan brands.<\/p>\n
Because they do not use ingredients derived from animal agriculture, which can be resource-intensive.<\/p>\n
These brands usually have strong concerns about the environment in general. <\/p>\n
Their goal is to have less of an effect on the environment when they produce the makeup, or when it is removed (for example when you wash it down the sink). <\/p>\n
The best vegan makeup brands will try to use more natural or organic ingredients, as well as being vegan and cruelty-free. <\/p>\n
Often these ingredients are ethically sourced. For example, if they need to source a plant ingredient from a rainforest, they will try to only harvest that plant from forests that are managed sustainably. <\/p>\n
The benefit is that this ingredient can grow back quickly, and the rest of the forest is not harmed in the process. <\/p>\n
They also tend to make more considered choices on the type of packaging they use, and how to reduce their waste. <\/p>\n

Some people may be allergic to ingredients found in non-vegan makeup, such as lanolin (derived from sheep\u2019s wool) or carmine (derived from crushed insects).<\/p>\n
Vegan makeup brands do not use these ingredients, so they may be a good choice for those with sensitive skin or allergies.<\/p>\n
Overall, vegan brands can be a good choice for those who are looking for products that align with their ethical values and may be more suitable for sensitive skin.<\/p>\n
