Vegan and vegetarian cosmetics

Animals are our friends, not test subjects. LOOkX is 100% vegetarian and offers a wide range of vegan cosmetics and vegan make-up. But what does cruelty free cosmetics really mean? And what is the difference between vegan, vegetarian and cruelty free skincare?

More and more people are consciously choosing products that match their values. You want to know what you apply to your skin, but also how a product is developed. That is why the demand for cruelty free make-up, cruelty free cosmetics and cruelty free skincare is growing fast.

Logical. Because a smart beauty routine is not only about visible results on your skin. It is also about transparency, responsibility and respect for animals and nature.

At LOOkX, we look beyond beautiful promises. We want to create cosmetics that feel good, work well and match your everchanging skin. Without animal suffering. With skin science as our foundation.

 

What does cruelty free cosmetics mean?

Cruelty free cosmetics means that a product has not been tested on animals. That sounds simple, but in practice it is smart to look beyond the final product alone.

A product may seem animal-test-free, while there is still uncertainty about the ingredients, suppliers or third parties in the production process. That is why cruelty free cosmetics is about transparency throughout the entire chain.

At LOOkX, we are clear: we are against animal suffering. We believe you do not need animal testing to prove the effectiveness and tolerance of cosmetics.

 

Cruelty free make-up and skincare: why the difference matters

When you search for cruelty free make-up or cruelty free skincare, you probably want to be sure your products are developed without animal suffering. But pay attention: cruelty free does not automatically mean vegan.

A product can be cruelty free and still contain ingredients of animal origin, such as beeswax, honey water or lactic acid. The reverse is also true: a vegan product is not automatically cruelty free if there is no clear information about animal testing in the chain.

That is why it is important to understand the terms. This helps you make a choice that fits your skin, your values and your routine.

 

Vegan, vegetarian and cruelty free: this is the difference

A vegetarian cosmetic product contains no ingredients for which animals have to die. However, it may contain ingredients of animal origin, such as beeswax, honey water or lactic acid.

Vegan cosmetics and vegan make-up contain no ingredients of animal origin. No animal-derived by-products.

Cruelty free cosmetics is about animal testing. A cruelty free product has not been tested on animals. Want to make the most conscious choice? Look at both points: is the product vegan or vegetarian, and has it been developed without animal testing?

LOOkX is 100% vegetarian. In addition, 96% of our products are vegan and we are on our way to 100% vegan cosmetics and vegan make-up.

 

Cindy’s vision: beautiful on the outside, beautiful on the inside

From the very beginning of LOOkX, it was natural for CEO and animal lover Cindy van der Peet to build a brand that is not only beautiful on the outside, but also beautiful on the inside.

Cindy chose to develop cruelty free and 100% vegetarian cosmetics. What felt natural from the start now perfectly matches the needs of today’s conscious consumer.

All LOOkX skincare products consist of vegan formulas and contain no ingredients of animal origin.

 

Kind to skin, nature and animals

Not all animal-test-free cosmetic products are automatically free from animal-derived ingredients. That can be confusing. If a product has not been tested on animals, this does not mean the formula is also vegan.

Do you want products that fit a conscious beauty routine? Then always look at the combination of cruelty free, vegan or vegetarian. This gives you a clearer idea of what you are choosing.

At LOOkX, we like to make that choice easy. That is why you will find clear symbols on our website for skincare and make-up products, showing whether a product is vegan or vegetarian.

At LOOkX, we are transparent about how we approach animal welfare. We are firmly against animal suffering.

When developing our products, we are convinced that animal suffering is unnecessary to prove the effectiveness and tolerance of skincare. Our proof lies in skin science, smart formulas and visible results.

For cosmetic products to be called cruelty free, no animal testing may have been involved during the production process. Not on the ingredients either. In addition, products or ingredients may not be tested on animals by a third party.

Companies that handle this responsibly may call their products cruelty free. Our products are fully cruelty free, including the ingredients used in the products.

This way, you can quickly see which cruelty free make-up or cruelty free skincare matches your preferences.
