What’s really in your fragrance?

The Vegan America Marketplace
Many people are surprised to learn that their favorite perfumes and body mists might not be vegan. Animal-derived ingredients often hide behind vague names like ambergris, musk, or civet—and they’re far more common than you’d think.
Ambergris, for instance, is a substance produced in the digestive system of sperm whales. Musk was historically extracted from the glands of deer. Civet comes from the anal secretions of civet cats. Even castoreum, sometimes labeled as “natural fragrance,” is secreted by beavers. These ingredients are often used to create long-lasting or sensual notes in high-end perfumes and mainstream body sprays.
At Vegan America, we believe transparency matters. That’s exactly why we just launched our Perfumes & Mists section—100% plant-based, always cruelty-free. No whale waste. No deer glands. No hidden animal suffering.
Check it out now and discover truly vegan scents you can feel good about wearing. Shipping is free, and as always, your purchases help build a more compassionate world.
New vegan-friendly fragrance brands now live on the marketplace. These brands proudly avoid animal-derived fixatives and use safe plant-based alternatives instead.
