NEWSFLASH!
Pure Vegan Plant Power from Lavera! Vegan Society

 

At Lavera we like to push the beauty boundaries. Many of our products are prize-winners for innovation and we strive always to use only the purest, most natural ingredients. All of the products in our range are 100% natural. Nearly all of those use certified organic ingredients. But at Lavera, many products go beyond natural and organic: more than one hundred are certified vegan, having earned the Vegan Society's sought after stamp of approval for being completely free of animal products, by-products or derivatives. Click here is a full list of all lavera vegan products.

 

What is the Vegan Society?
Founded in 1944, the Vegan Society is a UK based organisation with the ability to approve products as 'vegan' – look for a sunflower logo on product packaging. It sets stricter standards regarding the use of animals in cosmetics and toiletries than any other certifying body.

So what does 'vegan' mean for your favorite Lavera moisturizer?
Where indicated as vegan, you can be confident that Lavera products rely solely on the potent power of flower and plant extracts to restore and maintain skin's healthy radiance. Ingredients often found in skin care such as beeswax, lanolin (a grease derived from wool), gelatine (from animal skin and bones), and squalene (extracted from shark's liver) are not allowed. Only ingredients sourced without any use of animals can be classed as vegan.

 

But what about Lavera products that are not vegan?
Don't worry – at Lavera we use only the best natural ingredients. No chemicals, no artificial preservatives and no by-products. Where a product is not vegan, it likely means that the formula contains honey, beeswax, or perhaps milk – natural, organic derivatives we carefully source without any harm to animals, and which we can find no better replacement, at least for now.
