Karine Laudort As we are already halfway through Veganuary, I know everyone is looking for new products to get their hands on. Last week, I went over some of the most amazing Vegan Food and Drink products you need to try but this week, I wanted to showcase some fabulous beauty and wellness products as well! I think many people believe veganism stops at the food we consume but it doesn’t- It goes far beyond your diet! If you have been searching for vegan beauty and wellness products but don’t know where to start, then this blog is for you!
Brilliant Beauty
Faith in Nature
Faith In Nature has been putting nature first since 1974 with their range of natural products for hair, body, and home. With their wonderful range of body care and hair care, I know for certain that this is a brand you definitely need to try this Veganuary.
One thing I adore about this brand is that they offer 5-litre refill bottles so that you can reduce the number of single-use plastics you use and throw out. This makes their range perfect for eco-conscious buyers and especially for those who like to try new vegan products.
With a vast range of different scents including Grapefruit & Orange, Dragonfruit, Lavender & Geranium, and Coconut; They also have a scent-free option, perfect for those who may have sensitive skin.
Looking for new products to revolutionise your hair and body regime, as well as do your part for the planet? Faith in Nature is the perfect place to start.
Salon 64
Created by one of the top London hair stylists Ricky Walters, Salon 64 is a dynamic and flexible social hub that offers wonderful at-home products. Enabling you to achieve that Salon finish at home.
Infused with active ginger which helps with improving circulation of the scalp and promotes natural hair growth and REAL gold which ensures a deep clean of the hair and scalp, this range is perfect for those who want to combat hair loss and strengthen their luscious locks. This duo is amazing for reviving the hair and giving that much-needed volume!
This luxurious duo is ideal for those with weak, dry hair or split ends. Especially for those who are looking for a vegan option to bring their hair back to life!
Zaytoun
Zaytoun is a social enterprise inspired by a love of Palestinian culture, communities, and cuisine. They exist to support Palestinian farmers through fair trade, with 100% of their profits reinvested towards delivering this mission.
Looking for a new addition to your bath routine? Zaytoun’s Dead Sea bath salts are sourced from the only Palestinian Dead Sea salt producer, a family business that has been harvesting salt by hand on the Dead Sea since 1960. With a mix of magnesium, calcium, sodium, and potassium, these luxurious bath salts support the cleansing and restoration of the skin as well as help to stimulate circulation, ease muscle cramps and relieve joint stiffness.
Another amazing product Zaytoun create are its olive oil soaps. Their olive oil soaps are handcrafted by a family in Nablus, using time-honoured traditional methods that have been long celebrated for their gentle and moisturising effects. Unlike other soaps, the olive oil soaps from Zaytoun restore the skin’s natural softness instead of completely drying your skin out which is one of the many reasons why they are such a great product for everyday use.
Packaged in eco-friendly materials and containing over 77% olive oil, Zaytoun Olive oil soaps are 100% biodegradable, vegan, cruelty-free, palm oil free, and free from SLS or parabens! So what are you waiting for? Support a small Palestinian business and start your vegan journey today!
Philip Kingsley
One thing about haircare giant Philip Kingsley is that they know how to make amazing hair products that take care of your hair and the environment!
The Density range in particular (pictured above) is perfect for those who deal with thinning hair and hair loss. The key ingredient within this range is its hydrolyzed pea peptides, which help increase strand thickness and provide antioxidant, hydrating, and smoothing benefits. From their must-have shampoo to trusty scalp drops, their density range has got you covered from root to end!
However, if the density range isn’t suited to your hair needs, their vegan products go way beyond this collection targeting hair loss and thickness.

trii
trii body care is a collection of solid beauty body bars that are perfect for those who want to try something new this Veganuary!
Presented in reusable tins that are ideal for eco-warriors, the body-care bar collection entails five gorgeous scents (Incense, Lavender, Lemongrass, Peppermint, and Rose.) With each tin fighting a different battle; One for moisturising, one for cleansing, and one for exfoliating, the trii body care collection is ideal for those who travel and are always on the go.
These little bars are packed full of natural actives – like delicious apricot and pumice to gently exfoliate, aloe vera to soothe, and essential oils to scent. Not to forget that they are in fact VEGAN and have no SLES and SLS present!
Each tin is available to purchase separately, as part of a trio, or by signing up for their subscription service! If you are looking to begin your vegan journey, then trii bodycare is the perfect place to start.
RINGANA
RINGANA is known for creating amazing skincare and supplements with powerful ingredients. Their product list ranges from all the fantastic products you may use on a day-to-day basis like shampoo, conditioner, body wash, and scrub, to more specific products like tooth oil, tinted moisturisers, supplements, and even anti-wrinkle creams. And of course, they are all cruelty-free and vegan which makes the brand even better!
One product I absolutely adore is RINGANA’s Aftersun cream which is perfect for moisturising after sun exposure but I find it most useful for day-to-day use, to maintain my skin’s softness. However, their whole range really is worth a try! If you are sceptical about trying new things (as we all are) then you can purchase their sample box which is a perfect way to try before you buy full-size!
Whether you are looking for a new skincare alternative or just want to try something different, RINGANA’s extensive product range is worth having a look into!
Ndulge
Another favourite brand of mine is Ndulge skincare. All of Ndulge’s skincare remedies are created by hand in small batches. Their luxurious scented bestseller soaps are formulated containing only natural plant-based oils, butter, herbal ingredients and certified essential oils, and are presented in minimalist recyclable, plastic-free materials, which are both sustainable and kind to the planet and your skin.
They have an array of different products and different scents but two stand-out products are their Geranium and Sweet Orange Body Creme and Soap. Formulated for dry, irritated and mature skin, the creme offers a low concentration of antioxidants to protect and repair skin cells. The body creme is perfect for straight after you get out of the shower or bath, as it gently absorbs into your skin leaving it moisturised and smelling amazing.
As for their soap scrub, this is a fantastic product should you want to ditch exfoliating scrubs that have microplastics in them. Not only are micro-plastics not good for the environment but they aren’t good for your skin either! With the same gorgeous scent as the body creme, this pairing makes for the perfect after-bath duo. The uplifting aroma of the geranium and sweet orange is ideal for winding out and enhancing a sense of well-being.
