The Vegan America Daily Insight 🌱

What touches your lips should match your values. But did you know that many conventional lipsticks and lip balms are packed with animal-derived ingredients?

Take a closer look at the fine print:

• Carmine, the vivid red dye used in many lipsticks, is made from crushed cochineal beetles.

• Beeswax, used to thicken and stabilize lip products, is harvested from hives, often through harmful and unsustainable means.

• Lanolin, common in lip balms, comes from the oily secretions in sheep’s wool.

• Tallow, a form of rendered animal fat, is sometimes used to add a smooth finish.

• And then there are ambiguous ingredients like glycerin and stearic acid, which can be plant-based but are often sourced from animals unless otherwise specified.

Even lip products labeled as “natural” or “cruelty-free” may still contain animal ingredients—those labels only tell you the product wasn’t tested on animals, not that animals weren’t used in making it.

At Vegan America, we believe that compassion and self-care can go hand in hand. You don’t need to compromise your ethics to enjoy soft, nourished lips or your favorite bold lipstick shade. That’s why we’ve curated a full lineup of vegan lipsticks and balms—made entirely without animal ingredients, and never tested on animals.

Whether you're looking for a rich, velvety red lipstick or a hydrating, colorless balm for everyday use, we've got you covered. Every product we feature is rigorously vetted to align with your values and help you feel beautiful, inside and out.
