As we were talking about vegan restaurants in our last blog, we thought, why not makeup and perfumes? Because veganism is not only about food choices, it also delves deeper into what products we use and what lifestyle choices we make.
As makeup will come up in the next blog, here we will talk about some vegan perfume brands.
Not only are these perfumes vegan, but they are also cruelty-free. This means these perfumes have also not undergone any experimentation on animals(vivisection).
You might think brands like Dior and Armani are cruelty-free, but sadly they are not.
So what now? Do you have to give up on your decade-old perfume brand? Well, yes. Maybe it is time to switch to cruelty-free options. And trust me, these perfumes smell divine.
But before we talk about vegan perfume brands, let us look at animal abuse in the perfume industry.
Animal Abuse In The Perfume Industry
Animal Abuse is not new– it has been there for centuries. The problem is it is spread across every industry you can think of– Pharmacy, Perfume, Footwear, and the list goes on.
According to a recent study, over 100 Million animals are bred and killed for the sustenance of the fashion industry.
The question is: Is this necessary? While people have the right to abuse animals for their own sake, it is always a moral check.
Throughout history, humans have tortured and killed billions of animals for food and clothing.
But, right now, the problem is beyond the surface. Climate change, high carbon footprints, and alarming health hazards are some of the prominent reasons to give up on abuse.
You might think: “Are there any vegan perfume brands out there?” Well, fortunately, there are varities of vegan and cruelty-free options.
And these perfumes smell so good(Take our word) that you will give up on your regular one and jump ship here.
So, what are we waiting for? Let’s get started.
