By Hannah Liddle and Carly Cochrane -
best vegan beauty products

If you’re already giving up chicken nuggets, sirloin steak and chocolate for Veganuary, we salute you. But, while we understand it’s easy to get swept up in a world full of quinoa salads and mushroom burgers, don’t forget that Veganuary doesn’t just stop at your diet.

You may or may not be aware that most of your beloved cosmetics brands have products containing animal by-products. Luckily, there are still plenty of completely vegan brands out there that are going to be your beauty saviours this month. We’ve selected the best vegan beauty products – covering skin, hair, body and makeup – to keep you on track this January, so you can still look your best as you tuck into that tofu.
