Animal-derived ingredients are commonly found in cosmetic products, and eye makeup is no exception.
Have you ever tried to find a vegan mascara?
Beeswax
They virtually all contain animal derivatives, in particular beeswax.
The wax is a gentle sticking agent, used in eye makeup to stiffen the product – and in mascara it helps to prevent smudging and smearing. ??
Luckily, many brands now consider ethics more carefully, and use mascara formulas that are free-from beeswax and other animal ingredients.
So, if you’re searching for a vegan-friendly mascara, here are four of the best. ???
