VEGANUARY
SKIN & HAIR CARE
SINCE 2014, VEGANUARY, A UK NON-PROFIT ORGANISATION, HAS INSPIRED AND SUPPORTED MORE THAN
HALF A MILLION PEOPLE IN 178 COUNTRIES TO TRY VEGAN FOR JANUARY - AND BEYOND. WHILST FOOD
AND DRINK IS PROBABLY THE FIRST THING THAT SPRINGS TO MIND WHEN GOING ‘VEGAN’, VEGANISM
EXTENDS FAR BEYOND A FREE-FROM DIET. A NEW WAVE OF VEGAN-CERTIFIED SKIN, HAIR AND BODY
PRODUCTS ARE ON HAND (AND FACE, AND BODY!), READY TO CHANGE OUR MINDSETS AND OUR BEAUTY
AND BODY ROUTINES WITH SOME PURE, PLANT-BASED POWER.
Whether you are a Veganuary virgin, an early adopter or a signed up plant-
based pioneer, the recognised benefits of veganism can no longer be ignored. • Glowing skin, thanks to the additional vitamins
and carotenoids you are ingesting.
Following a vegan diet offers benefits such as: • Better sleep, as your digestive system doesn’t
have to work as hard, leading to more peaceful
sleep and a more refreshed awakening,
and of course less dark circles can only be a
good thing!
• Less chance of acne, as sebaceous glands are clearer due to better insulin
balancing and a lack of dairy products.
And there are even more
benefits by switching to
vegan-certified products, not
least to the removal of
harmful chemicals, palm oil
and animal products that can
damage the environment as
well as our skin.
HERE ARE OUR VEGANUARY TOP PICKS:
The Kentish Soap Company
www.kentishsoap.co.uk
As the name suggests, Kent-based, award-winning, The Kentish Soap Company
ensure all of their products; which includes handcrafted natural soaps, creams,
candles, body butters and more, are suitable for vegans. They believe that if
consumers were to purchase more plant-based products, the benefits to the
environment in terms of their reduced carbon footprint would be huge. And this
extends to skincare too. John Waddy from the Kentish Soap Company explains:
“Most people don’t know that a lot of commercial soaps contain animal fat (as
well as petroleum-based products). We also do not use palm oil. We feel that
consumers using vegan-friendly products, whether they’re food, skincare or other
products, should also consider if they contain palm oil due to its major impact
on deforestation and habitat loss for animals.”
