In cosmetics, the word “vegan” has a precise and verifiable meaning: no animal-derived ingredients, no animal by-products. But how do you distinguish a truly vegan product from one that uses the term merely as a marketing tool? The answer is Vegan certification.
What does vegan mean in cosmetics?
A vegan cosmetic product contains no animal-derived ingredients. This excludes a long list of ingredients common in traditional cosmetics:
- Lanolin: fat extracted from sheep's wool
- Animal collagen: extracted from bovine or porcine skin and bones
- Animal squalene: extracted from shark liver
- Honey and beeswax: bee products
- Animal keratin: extracted from animal hair, nails, and horns
- Carmine: red dye extracted from insects
Who certifies vegan products?
The main internationally recognized vegan certifications are:
- The Vegan Society (UK): the “Vegan Trademark” is one of the most recognized worldwide
- EVE Vegan (France): European certification specific to cosmetics
- PETA Beauty Without Bunnies: certifies both vegan and cruelty-free
Vegan does not automatically mean natural
A product can be vegan but contain synthetic ingredients. Conversely, a natural product can contain animal-derived ingredients like honey or beeswax. La Divetta Milano has chosen to be both vegan and COSMOS-certified natural — a combination that guarantees maximum respect for animals and the environment.
Why La Divetta Milano is vegan
La Divetta Milano's vegan choice is not a trend — it is an ethical stance consistent with the brand's philosophy. We believe that beauty should not require animal exploitation, and that plant and botanical ingredients can offer excellent results without ethical compromises.
La Divetta Milano is vegan by choice, not by trend. Because true beauty respects all forms of life.
