How can i be more vegan when it comes to cosmetics.

[VeganPower!]

MY b-o IS HORRID!

i also want a shampoo and conditioner that smells fine, and cleans me...haha

where do you live?

i don't know what you have access to, but if you can get american brands - either in stores, or buy them online- you have lots of options.

mitchum deodorant is apparently vegan, and white rain shampoo is supposed to be too, if you want drugstore options.

arm and hammer toothpaste is nearly vegan (the ingredients are supposed to be, but i think someone said something about baking soda being tested on animals or something?!- like anything isn't!?) or you could buy another healthfood store type brand like toms of maine, jason, etc.

Arm & Hammer tests on animals according to Peta's list. I like Tom's of Maine or Kiss My Face for toothpaste and they're becoming easier to find. I've never looked into it, but White Rain does say on the bottle that it isn't tested on animals and it's pretty cheap. I use a deodorant stone which I don't know if you'd be interested in. I don't really sweat a lot so it works well for me. Or you could try Jason, but I don't like the way it smells.

Do you have a Whole Foods near you? I found an educational trip to their cosmetics department to be quite helpful. Some items I picked up there and others I bought online at iHerb.com to save a few bucks.

i order a lot of my shower gels and deo's and stuff through yves rocher. they don't test on animals and a lot of their products are vegan. they sell products for men as well as for women, check them out online. avon also doesn't do animal testing and some of their products are vegan as well. if you don't know about a specific item from either company email them and ask and they will tell you if it's vegan or not.
shampoo can be expensive if you're looking for a vegan brand, i was buying one called organx that was really pricey but quite nice, and another called living clean which is awesome but very pricey. i recently discovered that down under naturals has one called nude that is vegan and only like 4 bucks a bottle. woot! :rockon: it works well and doesn't smell too girly.

Boscia has a splendid skincare line, all natural and for sensitive skin. I suggest just going to a health food store, Jason is a good brand for healthy hygiene products but i cannot comment on them as i tend to go more mainstream when it comes to hygiene, there just better in my opinion, sometimes natural just isnt as potent and therefore does not clean as well. Mind you i use La-Roche Posay products-THE BEST!!!!!!!!!(preservative free)
