Finding good vegan beauty products is no longer such a hard task, as there are now plenty of skincare, haircare and makeup options to choose from.
However, it can be hard to know which products are vegan. To keep it simple, vegan products must be free from any animal-derived ingredients, which in skincare can include beeswax, milk proteins, collagen, keratin, lanolin, and certain types of alcohol, acids, glycerine and squalene.
And if you’re still unsure, the Vegan Action non-profit organisation has a ‘Certified Vegan’ logo (found on packaging) that lets you know if a product is vegan.
Whether you’re a full-time vegan, or a newbie looking trying Veganuary, there’s a whole host of fantastic beauty buys waiting to be discovered.
Ahead, we’ve pulled together our top vegan beauty product picks to get you started – and they’re all available from Amazon.
Three minutes is all the time you need for this Garnier Ultimate Blends Hair Food Aloe Vera 3-in-1 Normal Hair Mask Treatment to work its magic.
The aloe vera promotes hair growth, prevents itching on the scalp, reduces dandruff and conditions your hair. At the same time, the coconut locks in extra moisture while reducing tangling.
As well as being vegan-friendly, it’s also silicone-free, helping to minimise breakage and smooth the hair fibre without weighing it down.
For a targeted blemish reduction solution, Dots for Spots® Original Acne Absorbing Patches will help to control spots so they don’t get out of hand – think inflammation and redness.
The miniature hydrocolloid patches cover your spots to create a unique healing environment, drawing out impurities while giving the spot time to heal safely and naturally.
Vegan-friendly and cruelty-free, they’re the number one bestselling Face Spot Treatment on Amazon with many customers claiming they’re a ‘game-changer’ for tackling pesky pimples. And we couldn’t agree more.
There are tons of brilliant vegan brow products available, including the cult classic WunderBrow 1-Step Brow Gel. Water and smudge-proof, this brow gel temporarily tints brows, giving you arches to die for that last for three days.
So if you don’t have the time or patience to fill in your eyebrows every single morning, WUNDERBROW can help by taming even the most unruly of brows and staying put without flaking or rubbing off, so you can enjoy natural-looking brows with little to no effort.
If you’re after a vegan-friendly face primer that smooths over fine lines, blurs pores, keeps excess oil under control and ensures your foundation stays in place, look no further than the e.l.f. Poreless Putty Primer.

The universal and sheer e.l.f. Poreless Putty Primer, which costs under a tenner, fills in pores, fine lines and wrinkles to smooth your complexion before applying makeup. Squalane, which is an exceptional hydrator, is also included in the mix.
From the cult skincare brand with a no-frills price tag, the Ordinary Niacinamide 10% + Zinc 1% is just the ticket if you’re battling breakouts on a budget. And that’s not the only good news – it’s also vegan and cruelty-free.
Applied to the entire face morning and evening after cleansing, the potent serum, which is formulated with niacinamide and zinc, regulates sebum production to help minimise pores and reduce blemish-causing bacteria. Hello, clear, calm and collected complexion.
A shower isn’t a shower without a body wash that smells divine and gently cleanses.
Using natural ingredients such as organic aloe vera and refreshing lemon and lime, the Faith in Nature Natural Aloe Vera Body Wash leaves your skin feeling refreshed and fragranced.
The bestselling body wash lathers up beautifully with sponges and loofahs, and doesn’t strip the skin of its natural protective oils. Better yet, it’s formulated without Sodium lauryl sulphate (SLS), which can dry out the skin.
Baths are an essential part of self-care, and there’s no better way to relax than unwinding with a helping of Westlab Reviving Epsom Bath Salts.
Epsom salts, which are vegan-friendly, have been used for hundreds of years as they help keep skin silky smooth, as well as inducing a better night’s sleep and even reducing stress.
Magnesium-rich, muscle-relaxing Epsom salts can further reduce muscle soreness and relieve cramps, particularly after a heavy workout.
The NYX Professional Makeup Makeup Setting Spray Matte is the number one bestselling setting spray in the US, and Amazon shoppers in the UK are clearly hooked too, as it’s racked up a whopping 43,000 reviews.
Just a couple of mists of this fan-favourite and vegan setting spray give makeup the ultimate staying power. As the last step in your makeup routine, it locks in the products you’ve used on your face. And while it’s suitable for all skin types, the mattifying finish is best suited for those with oilier complexions.
