Why use vegan products?

If the thought of smearing animal products over your body doesn’t seem a tad bit weird then consider what’s been happening around the world.

In case you’ve been living under a rock recently, women are the ones who have been calling and driving the discussion around accountability and transparency whether it’s the Me Too Movement, climate change or education. Women are also the ones asking for transparency into what goes onto their skincare products.

 “We made a decision to make Cedros Bay vegan. It was our way of assuring our customers the safety, ethics, and quality of ingredients and care we are putting into products,” says Agostini.

But don’t be mistaken, vegan beauty is for everyone whether you eat plant based or not, whether you wear leather or not. When you hit your local pharmacy, buying vegan simply means that you’re deciding to put something on your skin that is safer and healthier for you. It’s a conscious choice, which for Cedros Bay also has a deeper meaning other than the story of beauty.

A key singular ingredient in Cedros Bay’s products is 100% organic virgin coconut oil and with the coconuts taken from the groves of Cedros. Agostini says sustainability in local farming is something the company is concerned about and focused on. So, regardless of why you’re buying a vegan product, it’s smart to understand the brand you’re buying from is concerned about the proper harvesting of product and the survival of local farming ecosystem.
