The grass will definitely be greener on the other side.
Herbivore Botanicals
Created in 2011 in their Seattle kitchen, founders Julia Wills and Alexander Kummerow wanted to produce beauty products that are not only safe and non-toxic, but ethically made as well. The vegan brand specialises in concentrated yet effective products that are made from organic, plant-based ingredients free from parabens, chemicals and fillers.

Kat Von D gave us the eyeliner that won’t smudge, budge, or bleed. The midnight black liner pairs perfectly with other bold pigments in her beauty line, which are all high quality and long-lasting. The best part? The entire line is 100% vegan and cruelty-free?
Inika Organic
At first glance, Inika Organic is clear with what they’re about– ‘To source ethically and responsibly, always with love for nature and its inhabitants.’ They’re even registered with the UK Vegan Society. The Australian owned brand has a wide range of products— anything you need to create a full makeup look.

Last but not least, The Body Shop which was founded in 1976. Created by Dame Anita Roddick, she already sought to make products which contain natural, ethically and sustainable sourced ingredients.

Next to this, she promised that all her products were cruelty free, and that ingredients came from regular growers– long before Fair trade existed.
