We all have that one friend with glowing skin who loves experimenting with different makeup looks. While choosing the perfect gift may seem like a no-brainer, you may have to pay more attention to detail if she's into vegan skincare and makeup. Vegan products are void of animal and animal-derived ingredients, such as lanolin, beeswax, honey, silk, gelatin, cholesterol, pearl, collagen, lanolin, and carmine. Going vegan is better for people, animals, and the planet because formulas seldom use ingredients that could pollute water, soil, and the air.
1. A Soothing Lip Treatment
Dehydration, climate, sun damage, lip licking, and allergies are just a few causes of dry, chapped lips. Ironically, balms formulated with ingredients like menthol, phenol, and salicylic acid can make your lips even drier, so applying more product becomes a vicious cycle. Gift your friend a vegan lip balm treatment formulated with lip-loving ingredients like sesame seed extract, vitamin E, sunflower seed oil, panthenol, and castor seed oil to nourish, restore, and provide long-lasting moisture to even the driest lips.
2. A Results-Driven Skincare Routine
Look for skin-friendly vegan ingredients like antioxidant-rich plant extracts, high-potency botanicals, probiotics, peptides, and nourishing plant extracts. All products should be void of sulfates, parabens, synthetic fragrances, and gluten.
3. A Versatile Makeup Bundle
If you want to reduce the number of products to be more sustainable, choose multipurpose cosmetics such as bronzer, blush, and highlighter in one. Don't forget the primer and setting spray to ensure your friend's makeup application goes the extra mile.
4. Vegan Makeup Brushes
5. An Overnight Skin Treatment
These treatments are typically formulated with a blend of alpha and beta hydroxy acids and other results-driven ingredients like vitamin C, probiotics, and bakuchiol, a retinol alternative. Since the acids' exfoliating action makes the skin more sun-sensitive, pair it with an SPF to protect her fresh skin.
