First Things First Is Cologne and Perfume Vegan ?

 

When it comes to being vegan, unfortunately, the perfume industry has been a little slow to catch up. Most of the time you won’t see many obviously animal-derived ingredients in fragrances, but there are a few traditional non-vegan products that often make the cut – such as civet (its excretions are used in perfumes), ambergris (a discarded product of a sperm whale!) and musk (traditionally made from the musk glands of a deer).

VEGAN PERFUME - WHAT TO KNOW:

Some perfume makers will not list the full range of ingredients inside their products. This is perfectly within the law, but makes it tricky for you to identify exactly what’s in it. If in doubt, inquire on what is in the fragrance. Noe keep in mind, some vegan perfume-makers will promote their practices, while others choose not to. Remember, just because they don’t shout about it, doesn’t mean they’re not vegan!

Vegan Cologne

So, is perfume vegan? The short and easy answer is, yes, most of the time it is, however, it’s always a good idea to double check if you want to stay true to your lifestyle. If you’re purchasing a designer fragrance from a well-known perfume house, they may use real ambergris for example, which is not at all vegan-friendly.
