How do you know if a cleaning product is suitable for vegans?
If there aren’t any vegan credentials on the label, look out for these ingredients commonly found in cleaning products:
- Caprylic acid (derived from cow’s milk)
- Oleyl alcohol (derived from fish)
- Tallow (derived from beef fat)
- Lanolin (derived from sheep’s wool)
- Beeswax (derived from bees)
- Animal lecithin (derived from animals’ nervous tissue)
How do you know if a product is cruelty-free?
Most cruelty-free cleaning products will have a clear, recognized label, such as Leaping Bunny. However, the product may not be vegan even if it’s labeled cruelty-free. If its status is unclear, check the company website.
