What Does Vegan Makeup Really Mean

Vegan makeup is beauty products that do not directly contain any animal derived ingredients or those that have been tested on animals. Vegan makeup and cruelty-free products are often clubbed together but in reality, there is a lot of difference between the two. Cruelty-free makeup is not tested on animals while creating the brand even though some of their ingredients might have been tested on animals by third parties. 

Vegan makeup is referred to those products that do not contain any ingredient that has been derived from animals. These include lanolin, cholesterol, gelatin, beeswax, honey and collagen amongst many others. However, there is a catch here, even though the elements used in vegan products have not been taken from animals, it does not mean that the finished product or that in the semi-finished stage have not been tested on animals. Hence, all vegan products are not necessarily cruelty-free. Some of the top well-known Australian vegan makeup that you can opt for –

  • Inika Vegan and Organic Makeup,  
  • Aesop Natural and Cruelty-free Makeup         
  • Fitcover range
  • Scout Cosmetics and 
  • Grown Alchemist


Cosmetic and beauty products are constantly evolving for the better. There is a growing awareness in the beauty world today about using makeup items that are healthier, natural, non-toxic and vegan as against traditional cosmetics that contain dead animal ingredients like insect extracts, beeswax and uric acid of cows amongst others. To be sure, that you are buying the best from the vegan beauty world, go for makeup that has “Vegan Action” or “The Vegan Society” logo printed on the label.
