Vegan perfumes: a necessary revolution
In a world where ethics and social awareness are taking center stage, vegan perfumes are emerging as an alternative that is not only innovative, but essential. The beauty industry has been marked for years by cruel practices that subject animals to painful tests, a process that many ignore or simply choose not to see. It's time to open our eyes: what price are we willing to pay for a product that, often, we don't even need?
Nowadays, most people are not aware of the suffering that animals face in laboratories. Every time we buy a perfume that has not been certified cruelty-free , we are, in some way, supporting a system that prioritizes profits over life. Before purchasing any product, the first question should be: has it been tested on animals? It is a simple step that can make a big difference. At our company, which prides itself on being cruelty-free, every decision we make is guided by our deep concern for the environment and, above all, for the ecosystem.
At DIVAIN, in addition to supporting the environment through the Planet First movement , we also make 100% vegan perfumes. To help you delve a little deeper into this world, we bring you a post with all the information you need about what a vegan perfume is and how you can identify it so you don't fall for the scam.
What is a vegan perfume?
Vegan perfumes are those that have been made with natural ingredients and raw materials that do not come from animals or derivatives . Thanks to society's awareness, there are more and more laws that prohibit the use of certain ingredients of animal origin in the manufacture of products. Although it is true that there are some, such as ambergris, that are still used.
Not only do these perfumes take animal suffering out of the equation, but they also encourage sustainable practices that benefit the planet. By choosing these products, we are not only taking care of animals, but also the environment, promoting natural ingredients that are safer and healthier for everyone.
How to know if my perfume is vegan
To recognize whether or not a perfume is vegan, you should look carefully at the ingredients it contains. A vegan perfume is one that does not contain animal derivatives such as honey and leather, or secretions such as ambergris or musk that are often used to increase the fixation of the aroma.
These are some of the ingredients in a NON-vegan perfume:
- Ambergris: The ambergris notes contained in some fragrances come from a secretion that whales and sperm whales expel into the sea.
- Musk: With a rather intense aroma, musk is an ingredient obtained from the salivary glands of the musk deer.
- Castoreum: It has a scent reminiscent of leather and is a note obtained by extracting the perineal glands of the beaver.
- Leather
- Honey
Difference between a vegan perfume and a cruelty-free perfume
You should know that a vegan perfume and a cruelty-free perfume do not mean the same thing. While a vegan perfume is one that does not use ingredients of animal origin, a cruelty- free perfume is one in which, during its manufacturing process, no animals have been exploited or made to suffer . For example, perfumes that are tested on animals are not cruelty-free.
Thus, a vegan fragrance that is only made with plant-based ingredients may not be cruelty-free if it is first tested on animals.
No trace of suffering: The revolution of ethical fragrances
More and more brands are opting for this philosophy when it comes to manufacturing and designing their products. At DIVAIN, more than 99% of the perfumes in our catalogue are made without any components of animal origin. We are also Cruelty Free , as none of our fragrances are tested on animals.
