The Vegan America Marketplace Daily Update🌱

Let’s talk about the products hiding in plain sight—your bathroom, kitchen, and all-purpose cleaners. You know, the ones you use on your sink, bathtub, and countertops. Most people don’t realize that many conventional cleaning products contain animal-derived ingredients, masked behind scientific names and “fresh scent” marketing.

Common offenders include tallow derivatives (animal fat used in soaps), glycerin (often animal-based unless specified otherwise), casein (a milk protein found in some surface polishes), and oleyl alcohols and stearates (which are sometimes sourced from animal fats). Even the dyes and fragrances—ingredients with no cleaning function—can be tested on animals or derived from them. All this in a bottle that promises to “make your home sparkle.”

And let’s not forget the testing practices. Many mainstream cleaning brands still test on animals, exposing rabbits, mice, and other creatures to toxic substances just to label a product “safe for use.” It’s outdated and unnecessary.

At Vegan America, we believe that cleanliness shouldn't come at the cost of compassion. That’s why we’ve curated a full collection of 100% vegan and cruelty-free cleaners for every room in your home. These products deliver the same sparkling results—minus the suffering. They're plant-based, ethically made, and just as effective (if not more).

Shipping is free. Check out our Clean Home collection today and take one more step toward a more ethical lifestyle.

Because a truly clean home is one that’s kind.
