Is Chanel vegan?
No, Chanel is not vegan. This is because “cruelty-free” refers to the animal testing aspect, while “vegan” refers to the ingredients. A “vegan” product contains no animal-derived ingredients, such as Beeswax (made by bees), Carmine (a red pigment made from crushed beetles), or Collagen (from mammal or fish skin). The cruelty free label only guarantees that the final product and ingredients are not tested on animals, but the product can still contain animal derived ingredients. Similarly, the vegan label only guarantees that the product does not contain animal ingredients but may still have been tested on animals.For people looking to cut all animal-derived items out of their life, vegan cosmetics are the way to go. Cruelty-free means that the product was developed without any tests on animals, while vegan means that the product does not include any animal-derived ingredients.
