5 vegan beauty products you need to try!

The lipstick

Cochineal/carmine is notoriously difficult to avoid, as it can be labelled as so many different things, from E120 to carminic acid and even ‘crimson lake’.

Made from crushed cochineal insects, the dye produced is used in a whole host of everyday products, from food to alcohol to make-up. It’s a full-time job trying to dodge it!

Beauty Without Cruelty has come to the rescue for vegan lipstick lovers. It’s made the most gorgeous carmine-free red lipstick, so you can paint the town red without harming anything.

Made with over 40 per cent jojoba oil, these lipsticks are conditioning and will last all day.
