In the New Year, we\u2019re bringing you a story that has become incredibly trendy in recent years. We\u2019d even go so far as to say it has taken the beauty world by storm. And although\u2014as we\u2019ve emphasized many times\u2014we\u2019re most interested in what\u2019s healthy and effective, not necessarily trendy, we want to publish this post to shed some light on vegan cosmetics. Whether you\u2019re just starting your journey toward veganism, taking \u201cbaby steps,\u201d or have extensive knowledge based on your own experiences or research, we\u2019ll outline here what we consider most important. We\u2019ll leave it up to you to evaluate. And, of course, to choose\u2014because it\u2019s your decisions and choices that are at the heart of the matter. <\/p>\n
The answer is simple: vegan cosmetics are a group of products that contain no animal-derived substances, animal by-products, or any other ingredients of animal origin, including beeswax and honey. Phenom\u00e9 cosmetics contain only plant-based and mineral ingredients, which is why they are all vegan. In our view, vegan cosmetics are not a passing trend, but a decisive response to Mother Nature\u2019s urgent call. Phenom\u00e9 cosmetics are created without the use of animal-derived substances, relying on the beneficial properties of plant waters, which\u2014unlike mineral or distilled water\u2014are not stripped of valuable nutrients. <\/p>\n
The primary motivation for purchasing vegan cosmetics stems from a moral stance and one\u2019s ethical principles. The decision to stop using cosmetics containing animal-derived ingredients is a clear expression of our deepest opposition to causing suffering to animals, whom we regard as equal inhabitants of our planet. Adhering to such beliefs can help curb the excessive exploitation of the Earth, which has already begun to rebel against the service of greedy, self-indulgent humans. Mass animal farming is associated with massive pollution and has a dramatic impact on the environment. That is why it is worth making significant changes to our daily skincare routine, for example by using vegan cosmetics\u2014a change that requires little effort but represents a step toward making the world at least a little better. <\/p>\n
Every company wants its products to have added value that sets them apart from others and makes them more valuable. For this reason, the term \u201cvegan\u201d is often overused and appears in brand communications for purely marketing purposes. With us, it\u2019s probably the opposite\u2014we rarely describe Phenom\u00e9 cosmetics as vegan, but from the very beginning, it has been crucial for the company\u2019s owners to run the business in accordance with their own values\u2014above all, to ensure that no animals suffer in the production of our cosmetics (neither through the use of animal-derived ingredients nor through animal testing). At the same time, we believe that the most effective and healthiest active cosmetic ingredients for humans are found in plants and minerals. The vegan nature of Phenom\u00e9 products is therefore a natural consequence of our own beliefs. The same applies to our approach to packaging and the selection of raw materials for its production, which stems from a sense of responsibility and our refusal to accept that the byproduct of creating great natural cosmetics should be piles of plastic that will take hundreds of years to decompose in landfills. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
