Shopping for vegan cosmetics consciously is easier than you might think. <strong>These simple shopping tips will make your experience straightforward and enjoyable<\/strong>. Here are four essential things to know before purchasing any product, whether it&#8217;s a cream, shower gel, or other non-food item.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">1) Always keep the BioDizionario handy<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">If you haven&#8217;t heard of it yet, it&#8217;s time to catch up. The BioDizionario is a tool that must be part of the starter pack for every respectable vegan: available<\/span> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.biodizionario.it\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">online<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> and as a real guide in <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.terranuovalibri.it\/libro\/dettaglio\/erica-congiu-sauro-martella\/biodizionario-9788866814023-236290.html\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">paperback or ebook format,<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> it allows you to finally understand what\u2019s hidden behind the confusing labels and codes you encounter in supermarket aisles. <strong>A real game-changer in this regard is the BioDizionario app<\/strong>, which lets you photograph a product\u2019s ingredient list and instantly identifies harmful substances and non-vegan or\u00a0<\/span>non-cruelty free<span> ingredients.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">2) Vegan cosmetics: certifications to watch out for (beware of imitations!)<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">You&#8217;ll surely know that, as a marketing ploy, many companies exploit the color green (which is why the phenomenon is called Greenwashing) or call themselves vegan when they aren\u2019t really. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">These strategies are insufficient for establishing credibility. It&#8217;s crucial to verify these claims by looking for the <strong>VEGANOK<\/strong> <strong>certification<\/strong>. This certification ensures the absence of animal products in both the ingredients and packaging and confirms that the product is cruelty-free. Another reliable certification is <strong>BioDizionario approved<\/strong>, indicating that the product is free from any major concerns according to the BioDizionario standards.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">3) Zero Waste is better<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-102921 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.veganok.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Copertine-2022-11-07T104533.766.png\" alt=\"Vegan cosmetics advice\" width=\"1335\" height=\"655\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">When purchasing a product, consider its impact on our bodies and animals, but don&#8217;t overlook the packaging. If faced with choosing between a plastic-packaged product and a bulk item like a bar of soap, both with good ingredient lists (INCI), <strong>always opt for the bulk or minimally packaged option<\/strong>. This choice benefits the environment and, by extension, us and the animals.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">4) Still unsure? Consult the forum<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Following the tips above, selecting cosmetic products should be relatively easy. However, seeking further advice or clarification is perfectly natural, especially when starting out. <strong>Feel free to consult our online<\/strong>\u00a0<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/forum.promiseland.it\/viewforum.php?f=2\"><b>forum<\/b><\/a>\u00a0where you can ask questions and share advice freely with experts and fellow users.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Entering the world of vegan cosmetics may seem daunting initially, but navigating through INCI and false certifications can become much simpler with the right tools. Help spread the word so that more people can <strong>make informed and conscious choices about their non-food purchases<\/strong>.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>See also: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.veganok.com\/en\/are-nail-polishes-vegan\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Are Nail Polishes Vegan?<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Are you interested in vegan cosmetics but unsure where to start?
