Vegan Shampoos

Vegan shampoos: The best products for every hair type at BellAffair

More and more people are going vegan - They not only abstain from animal ingredients in their diet, but also in other areas of life. In line with this trend, vegan hair care products are more widely available than ever. We have collected everything you need to know about vegan shampoo so you can easily pick the right product for your hair needs!

What is vegan shampoo?

Vegan shampoos are formulated without animal-derived ingredients, such as honey, beeswax, egg yolk or milk. The products typically contain natural plant-based active ingredients.

Vegan or not - it is all about the ingredients

What many people don’t know: In addition to milk, honey and gelatine, conventional shampoos often contain keratin, which is extracted from hooves or feathers, or horse bone marrow, which is a by-product when horses are slaughtered. Identifying these ingredients on the product packaging, however, is not that easy. Animal-derived ingredients tend to be hidden behind technical terms such as mel, cholesterol, glycerol, collagen, guanine or cystine.

To help you save the time and effort of checking the fine print of each individual product, we have clearly labelled every vegan shampoo in our BellAffair online shop as “vegan”.

Additionally, animal rights organisation PETA has published a list of animal-derived ingredients and their alternatives, making it easier for you to recognise and avoid animal ingredients in beauty and hair care products.
