Keeping your lips kissable is important, but it’s not important enough to warrant the barbaric testing so many mainstream balms, butters, glosses, and sticks go through prior to hitting the shelves. Thankfully, though, caring for your lips needn’t mean not caring for others…and we’re here to prove it in this section devoted to vegan lip care. ?

Finding lip care products that tick both vegan and cruelty-free boxes can be challenging to say the least. Sneaky ingredients with sly and craftily created names that appear to be created to deceive mean that compassionate consumers have to have their wits about them at all times. It’s not easy knowing what’s what. Do you know your oxybenzone from your elbow?

With this in mind, this part of the Happy Happy Vegan library is here to help you make the most ethical choices possible when you next shop for vegan lip makeup or care products. We’ll go over some of the more popular brands and product lines available and give you some pointers on what to look for, and what to avoid, along the way.
