Vegan Cosmetics

What’s behind vegan products?

Our vegan products do not contain any ingredients produced by or from animals. Instead, we use plant-based or synthetic substances for our vegan cosmetics. Animal welfare has been particularly important to essence since the very beginning – our products have always been 100% free from animal testing, in accordance with EU law.

Identify vegan products

How do I know which cosmetics are vegan?

Looking at the list of ingredients often doesn’t immediately tell us whether a product is vegan. At essence, you’ll find the essence “vegan” logo on all of our our cosmetics packaging. Because each of our products is guaranteed to be 100% free of animal-derived ingredients.*

Our Promise

Since 2021, all of our newly developed products have been made of purely vegan ingredients.* This also includes our popular bestsellers. Our entire range will continue to be made entirely of vegan products in the future. Consequently, we will only re-release cosmetics without any ingredients of animal origin. That’s a promise.

* Due to a raw material shortage we need to replace the vegan ingredient berry wax in the Lash Princess ​False Lash Effect Mascara with beeswax (marked on the product) for a limited time (starting in May 2023).
