Natural, Vegan, Cruelty-Free Products: How to Find Your Way Around?

Natural, Vegan, Cruelty-Free Products: How to Find Your Way Around?

Beauty trends have evolved significantly in recent years. Today, consumers favor natural ingredients and products that respect the environment and animal welfare. As a result, we're seeing more and more products labeled "natural," "vegan," or "cruelty-free." But what do these terms actually mean, and how can you tell one product from another? Let's explore these definitions together to help you make informed choices for your skincare routine.

Natural Products: What are they?

Natural products primarily use ingredients derived from nature, but regulations remain unclear. There are no strict standards defining the percentage of natural ingredients or the type of synthetic ingredients allowed.

Please note : Natural products are not necessarily vegan or free of animal-derived ingredients. "Naturalness" therefore remains a flexible concept that can vary from one brand to another.


Vegan Products: Special Attention to Ingredients

Vegan products do not contain any animal-derived ingredients, such as honey or snail slime ( COSRX / Snail Peptide ). However, this does not guarantee that they have not been tested on animals, hence the important distinction with cruelty-free products. Vegan products respond to a growing demand for formulations free of animal-derived ingredients, while remaining respectful of the preferences of those who advocate a cruelty-free approach.

Cruelty-Free Products: Zero Animal Testing

Cruelty-free products are not tested on animals and usually come with labels such as Leaping Bunny Or PETA Cruelty-Free . These certifications guarantee that products have not been tested on animals, even for international markets like China where animal testing is still in effect for some products.

In Europe and South Korea, regulations have banned animal testing since 2013 and 2018 respectively, providing additional reassurance to consumers.


Natural, Vegan, Cruelty-Free Products: Choosing the Right Product

It's important to remember that a natural product isn't necessarily vegan, and a cruelty-free product may contain ingredients derived from animals. By combining these different categories, it's possible to find products tailored to individual preferences, whether they're natural, environmentally friendly, or animal-friendly.


At Coree Beauty , we offer products across all these categories to meet the diverse needs of our customers. Take advantage of our selection of K-beauty products to discover skincare products that are kind to your skin, the environment, and animals.
