What Makes A Beauty Product "Kind"?

The word “kind” is defined as having a good, generous, or considerate nature or disposition. When it comes to clean beauty, for a product to be regarded as ‘kind’, the brand should not be testing products on animals, use no animal- derived ingredients or they should not manufacture products in a way that is harmful to the environment. Find out more about the qualities to look out for in a product for a kinder and more eco- friendly beauty routine.

CRUELTY FREE

Many cosmetics manufacturers use animals to test product safety and skin reactions. However, while helpful for human safety, many of these tests put animals at risk of illness, injury, or worse. Cruelty-free means the products are never tested on animals for efficacy or safety in every phase of the production process. However, a product that is cruelty-free is not necessarily vegan such as a product that is not tested on animals but contains honey or milk.

VEGAN BEAUTY

Vegan beauty simply means products that use no animal-derived ingredients of any kind in their production process and formula (such as gelatine or collagen) or animal by-products (such as honey, beeswax, or milk). However, a vegan product is not always cruelty-free.

ECO- FRIENDLY

Eco friendly means a product is made to have little or no damaging impact on the environment. From the raw materials used in their manufacturing, to their design, packaging, transportation to their end user, their length of use and their capacity to be recycled.

ZERO WASTE

“Zero-waste beauty” means that nothing in a beauty product’s lifespan is wasted- from the packaging it’s housed in, to the product itself. You can adopt a zero-waste beauty routine by minimizing single- use products and opting for multipurpose products instead, looking for biodegradable products, trying waterless products, reusing, or repurposing packaging where you can and choosing products with recyclable packaging.
