Vegan Skincare Isn’t Just About Skipping Animal Tests

Many brands throw around the word “vegan,” but the truth is not all vegan skincare is created equal.

Some use ingredients like glycerin or squalene derived from animal sources. Others skip testing on animals but still include beeswax, honey, or lanolin.

At Simree, we go deeper -not just avoiding animal ingredients, but being radically transparent about where every component comes from.

So, What Actually Makes Skincare Vegan?

No animal-derived ingredients

No animal by-products (like honey, beeswax, lanolin, collagen, etc.)

Not tested on animals at any stage

Ethically sourced from plants, minerals, or lab-safe synthetics

And yes, even common ingredients like hyaluronic acid or glycerin can be animal-derived. That’s why ingredient sourcing matters.

Simree’s Vegan Transparency Checklist

All oils used in Simree products (like jojoba, rosehip, and blue tansy) are extracted from plants. No shortcuts. No fillers.

We never use beeswax, lanolin, carmine, or shellac. If it's not 100% vegan, it doesn't make it in.
