Toxic Vegan: Understanding the Hidden Harms of Vegan Cosmetics

You might think that using vegan cosmetics is the ultimate way to protect animals and the environment. But there's more to the story. Stick with us as we explain how even vegan cosmetics can have harmful impacts.

The Hidden Dangers in Vegan Cosmetics

Consider what happens to the toxic and irritating substances from your shampoo, shaving cream, perfume, deodorant, makeup, and other personal care products when they are washed down the drain. Many of these products contain toxic ingredients that are still prevalent in everyday use. Tons of these harmful chemicals are washed away daily, impacting the environment, marine life, and overall planetary health.

Impact on Marine Life

Marine animals are affected daily by numerous ingredients used by cosmetics brands that claim to be vegan. Ingredients such as triclosan, phthalates, parabens, oxybenzone, and microplastics pose significant threats.

One of the biggest threats to coral reefs and marine life is sunscreen. While it protects us from solar radiation damage, it may be causing serious harm to marine ecosystems. Hawaii was the first US state to ban sunscreens containing harmful chemicals like oxybenzone and octinoxate, a law that went into effect on January 1, 2021.
