Re: Vegan Skin Care Coming Soon

There are many animal derived ingredients in skincare and cosmetics - emu oil, cavier, lactic acid, beeswax, silk, collagen, the coloring agent carmine are popular. Much of Dr. Gross' line is vegan, but not all.

Re: Vegan Skin Care Coming Soon

Sorry, but I think it sounds like a gimmick.

I'm sure that I might be using some products that are not totally "vegan," but I'm not vegan either, so I'm not going to worry about it.

I must be really shallow. What caught my attention in this entire thread is turquoise and amber glass packaging. I'll watch just for that.

Re: Vegan Skin Care Coming Soon

You do not have to be a vegan or vegetarian to want to use skincare and cosmetics free of animal derived ingredients. I see no need for an animal to die so that my skin looks good. It does go well with the no animal testing philosophy.

....It's just another old celebrity hawking cosmetics. Nothing interesting about it, they all do it now.
