For a long time the biggest concerns about make up were how long it stayed on, how much it cost, and whether your sister would try to steal it. This soon changed when people became more aware of the animal cruelty that goes into making some products, and in response, called for more products that were cruelty-free (not tested on animals) and even vegan (cruelty-free plus no animal-derived ingredients).

If you want to reduce your impact on the environment without having to give up your makeup, Fragrance Direct have a range of cruelty-free and vegan products that are easy on the eye and your conscience.

Skincare

If you’re looking for soft, clear skin, add REN’s Pore Detox Mask to your weekly skin care routine. Designed to make blackheads less visible and to minimise pore size, it’s perfect for those with oily to combination type skin.

Face Wash

Urban Veda Purifying Daily Facial Wash 150mlUrban Veda has received the internationally recognised Leaping Bunny certification for their commitment to cruelty-free products. As they use all natural ingredients such as Ayurvedic cold-pressed neem oil, they’re a great choice for those with sensitive skin.
