Whether or not you are vegan, you need to know that there are some products out there that are not vegan. For example, some of the most popular moisturizers and skin creams on the market today contain ingredients that have been tested on animals.
CeraVe Healing Ointment
Among the most popular healing ointments are Aquaphor and CeraVe. Both are effective at soothing chapped or cracked skin. In addition, they provide temporary relief from dryness and irritation. However, the two differ in several ways.
Aquaphor is a petroleum-based ointment that works well on chapped lips and dry skin. It also has calming ingredients like panthenol and bisabolol. Its main ingredient is petrolatum, which functions as an occlusive. This helps protect the skin from water, wind and irritants.
Avocado oil repels wind and water
Using an avocado as a carrier for your insect repellent of choice may sound like a naughty step, but it’s the best way to go about it. If you’re using an avocado to repel mosquitoes, you’ll also get an added benefit – a healthy dose of the good stuff. The avocado is also an excellent source of antioxidants and polyphenols. The best time to apply the avocado is during the early morning hours, when the mosquitoes are least likely to be fluttering around.
Tocopherol
Using the best ol’ vitamin E is not for everyone, but a high concentration of the stuff can be a godsend to those with dry, dehydrated, or sensitive skin. Using the right ingredients can make your skin silky smooth. Using a good ol’ abrasive like saline based treatments, such as AHA peels, may have a negative effect on your skin, which can be remedied with the right ingredients. There is a plethora of topical products on the market, such as AHA peels, Vitamin E creams, or Vitamin E lotions, among others. Some products, such as Vitamin E moisturizers, actually require a doctor’s prescription to get the best results.
Lanolin
Whether you’re looking for an overnight lip mask or some other skin care product, Aquaphor with Lanolin is a great choice. It’s an emollient and it helps lock moisture into your skin. It’s also great for preventing product sensitivities.
Lanolin is a waxy substance secreted by the sebaceous glands in the wool of sheep. It’s used to treat dry skin and it can also help heal chapped lips. It’s also used in skin care products, such as hand creams.
Animal testing
Whether you are a vegan or not, you have probably heard of Aquaphor. This popular skincare brand makes products ranging from skin cream to lip care balm.
It is also interesting to note that Aquaphor has a fairly long track record in the cruelty-free movement. For decades, many consumers have asked about the animal testing practices of their favorite cosmetic brands. But, in recent years, the cruelty-free movement has finally hit the mainstream.
While Aquaphor isn’t exactly cruelty free, it does make an attempt to be. They have a policy requiring that their third-party suppliers meet certain standards. They also state that they will not test their products on animals.
