Are vegan skincare products effective for all skin types?

Botani’s vegan skincare products offer nature’s best for your skin. Find out if they are suitable for your complexion and the benefits they can bring. 

What are vegan skincare products?

Vegan skincare products do not use animal-derived ingredients or by-products. They leverage tested formulas to include plant-based alternatives and exclude substances like honey, beeswax, lanolin, and collagen sourced from animals. 


These products aim to align with vegan principles by avoiding the exploitation of animals for cosmetic purposes. Ingredients in vegan skincare products include botanical extracts and essential oils. 


Even if you are not vegan yourself, choosing vegan skincare products has benefits because you’ll be following a more ethical, cruelty-free lifestyle while nourishing and protecting your skin.

Vegan skincare products: are they effective for all skin types?

Generally speaking, vegan skincare products have benefits for all skin types. The absence of common allergens found in animal-derived ingredients can make them less likely to cause adverse reactions. 

Plant-based ingredients often offer gentle and nourishing properties suitable for sensitive skin. 

Overall, these products offer a broad range of options that can cater to various skin types and concerns. It’s worth noting that individual reactions may vary depending on specific formulations and your personal skin sensitivities. If you have had problems with your skin in the past, take a look at the ingredients and test your products first.

Best vegan skincare products for sensitive skin

Sensitive skin can be difficult to manage but finding the right products to use can make a difference.

  • For a vegan moisturiser, Olive Repair Cream is an intensive day & night moisturiser. The benefit of this product is that it deeply hydrates, calms

Best vegan skincare products for oily skin

If your skin is oily even though you cleanse it regularly, quality products will make a difference. 

  • Start with Botani’s Purify Facial Cleanser. You will love the lightly foaming formulation, which acts to clean your skin and remove impurities while helping you maintain the naturally-occurring oils that reduce irritation and dryness.
  • Next, try Rescue Pore Refiner Essence, to gently exfoliate, whilst minimising the appearance of large pores and at the same reducing shine for a smooth natural-looking matte finish.

Best vegan skincare products for acne-prone skin

The benefits of vegan skincare products are that they can help acne-prone skin. We recommend Botani Rescue Acne Trio, a plant-based, vegan-certified, 3-step skin regime to help restore clear, healthy skin naturally.
