Turning to vegan products offers many advantages. First and foremost, these products are ecological and respectful of the environment. Indeed, the vegan charter is based on ecological principles. So, using vegan cosmetics is a more responsible way of consuming, and helps protect the planet. 

What's more, most vegan cosmetics are made with natural and organic ingredients that are good for skin and hair. All Yodi products are vegan, with ingredients of natural origin and organic whenever possible.

Favoring natural and vegan products means wanting the best for the environment, but also for your skin and your health.

Please note that not all products labelled "natural" or "organic" are vegan. Vegan products are not necessarily organic, so you need to rely on different certifications and labels.

To be sure that a beauty product is vegan, the first thing to do is to look at the INCI list (list of ingredients). Here are a few ingredients of animal origin still used in cosmetics and which you may find in your everyday products:

Animal glycerin made from animal fat. INCI: glycerin. It can be replaced by vegetable glycerin. At Yodi, we use glycerin derived from vegetable oil in our Ideal Aloe Argan mask.

Squalane of animal origin
Obtained mainly from shark liver, it contributes to the overfishing that threatens these species. INCI : squalane, squalene.

Fortunately, there is a plant-based alternative made from olive oil. 

Keratin derived from bird feathers
INCI: keratin, -hydrolyzed keratin.

At Yodi, we use a plant-based alternative in our Nutritive Argan shampoo: pea protein.

Beeswax is a wax produced by bees to build the cells in their hives. INCI: cera alba, beeswax. Vegetable waxes such as Candelilla and Carnauba wax are also available.

Years ago, hyaluronic acid was extracted from the crests of roosters. Today, it's made from biotechnology. INCI: sodium hyaluronate.

Lanolin is a fat obtained from sheep's wool, with emollient properties that can be replaced by a vegetable substitute. INCI : lanolin.

The pigments are in the majority synthetic or mineral, except for the range of the reds, where the carmine of cochineal is always used. INCI: carmine.
At Yodi, we use flower acids in our Vitamine C et fleurs d’Hibiscus cleanser to enhance the lightening power and bring a pink color to the product

Sodium tallowate is obtained from rendered animal fat (sheep, beef) and is often used to make inexpensive soaps. INCI: sodium tallowate.
At Yodi, we use organic vegetable oils and vegetable butters in our cold-saponified superfatted soaps.

Another tip for finding out if a cosmetic is vegan is to refer to the labels (Cruelty Free and Vegan by PETA, Vegan by Vegan Society and One Voice).

What's more, Global animal test-free lets you identify PETA-approved companies, brands and even products via their website.
