Afternoon beauty fix: Your skincare routine can also be vegan-friendly and gluten-free

I’ve made a dietary transition from vegetarian to vegan, and now my cosmetic consumption needs to follow suit. I need to find a cream that’s animal by-product free—got any guidelines?
Creams are generally constructed by two things: oil and an aqueous liquid, like water. For a very long time it was common for cosmetic giants to pump creams full of animal-based products like lard or fish oil for their ability to add moisture and offer a rich, creamy texture. Society’s assumed consideration for animals and the environment, plus dietary preferences like yours, have increased the demand for animal-friendly options without a compromise on efficacy. Ye asked and ye shall receive, because Farmhouse Fresh Fluffy Bunny hand cream ($14, farmhousefreshgoods.com) is not only vegan-friendly, it’s also gluten-free and packed full of moisture from shea, cocoa, jojoba, soybean, aloe, and vitamins E and A. Because its packaging is printed with vegetable-based inks, all you have to worry about now is ordering pizza without any cheese.
