Vegan Shampoo: Keep your Hair Naturally Shiny and Cruelty-Free

Have you recently made the switch to live a vegan lifestyle? Are you struggling to commit to a lifestyle and diet the omits all animal derivatives and by-products? Here’s a product that could help you do your part for animal rights and reduce your environmental impact: vegan shampoo. A vegan shampoo is an organic alternative to your regular supermarket shampoos.  It is the chemical-free, animal cruelty-free and guilt-free way to give your hair a natural shine every day. You’ll be surprised at the number of animal by-products present in your hair care products. Common beauty ingredients found in shampoos such as biotin, keratin, silk powder, and collagen are all animal by-products. Due to this, more and more people have made the switch to vegan shampoos due its natural, cruelty-free ingredients. If you’re still using popular commercial shampoos on your hair, we encourage you to have a look at the list of ingredients you are massaging into your scalp on a regular basis. Typically, these shampoos contain harmful ingredients that can do more damage than good to both you and the environment. Still not sure about ditching your old shampoo and switching to vegan? Here are 5 awesome reasons why you should be using vegan shampoo:

#1: Environment-Friendly

One of the greatest reasons to use vegan shampoo is the product's environment-friendliness. Vegan shampoos reduce the use of non-biodegradable ingredients during production.  Moreover, the vegan shampoo will not cause additional harm to our water sources as it breaks down easily once used and drained. Using a vegan shampoo can give you a sense of fulfillment knowing that you’re doing your part to protect the environment.

#2: All Natural Ingredients

Vegan shampoos, as mentioned above, are made completely from plant-based ingredients such as Aloe Vera, Argan, Coconut, Jojoba, and Kaolin clays. These natural ingredients give a natural scent as opposed to synthetic fragrances used in commercial shampoos. Many damaging chemicals are present in commercial shampoos. There’s sulfate, which is known to cause skin, eye, mouth, and lung irritation; formaldehyde, a preservative ingredient which may cause leukemia; and paraben, a chemical that mimics estrogen in the body and can cause cancer cells to grow rapidly.

#3: Nourishing Quality

Vegan shampoos are rich in natural oils such as Coconut oil, Argan oil, and Jojoba oil. These oils are known for nourishing your hair from root to tip. These natural oils also act as anti-oxidant, stimulate hair growth, reverse hair damages, prevent hair loss, dandruff and dry scalp, and help maintain the hair’s natural moisture.

#4: Fortified with Essential Oils

Some of the best essentials oils are present in a vegan shampoo. For instance Lavender oil, a popular anti-inflammatory natural oil that helps in preventing scalp infections and Argan oil, a great choice for dry and damaged hair. Aside from the hair benefits, essential oils in shampoos also help in relieving stress and promoting relaxation. When using vegan shampoos, your daily bath becomes more invigorating and enjoyable both for your hair and your well-being.
