January is all about plant-based choices, including skincare. Plant powered skincare supports the skin in a gentle yet effective way and fits perfectly with what skin needs in winter. In this blog, you’ll discover what Veganuary means for skincare, which vegan ingredients are popular, and how to build a plant powered routine.
From January 19 to January 25, 2026, we’re celebrating Veganuary with 15 percent off our vegan favorites.
What does Veganuary mean for skincare?
Veganuary in skincare is about making conscious choices. Just like with food, it means choosing products without animal-derived ingredients and with carefully formulated formulas. Vegan skincare uses gentle, plant-based ingredients that support the skin and are often well tolerated, especially when skin is sensitive. It’s not about giving up results, but about skincare that feels comfortable and stays effective.
What makes skincare and make up truly vegan?
Skincare and make up are truly vegan when they contain no animal-derived ingredients and are not tested on animals; vegan is therefore always cruelty free, while cruelty free doesn’t automatically mean vegan, and by looking beyond claims you can be sure a product is fully vegan. Thanks to mild, skin-friendly formulas, vegan products are suitable for all skin types, especially sensitive skin, and they also offer a comfortable, caring finish in make up.
Smart vegan skincare duos
By combining ingredients, they enhance each other’s performance and support the skin on multiple levels at once, helping you get more results from your skincare routine.
- ✦ Green tea + niacinamide: help make skin look visibly more even and support a calm, balanced appearance.
- ✦ Citrus + centella: give skin a fresh glow and extra comfort, ideal for dull or sensitive skin.
- ✦ Rice + licorice: support a brighter-looking complexion and help bring skin back into balance.
- ✦ Bakuchiol + peptides + squalane: refine the look of skin, support firmness, and provide long-lasting hydration.
Choose ingredients based on your skin needs
Plant powered skincare works best when ingredients match what your skin needs. By choosing consciously, you support the skin without overstimulation.
- Redness: centella and chamomile soothe the skin and visibly reduce redness.
- Sensitive skin or eczema: oat, centella, and chamomile support recovery and help calm irritation.
- Dry skin: avocado, calendula, and shea butter deeply nourish and help protect against dryness.
- Oily or acne-prone skin: green tea, willow bark, and aloe vera help regulate sebum and keep skin looking clear.
- Dull skin or hyperpigmentation: rice, licorice, turmeric, and rosehip oil support a more even-looking tone and fresh glow.
How to check if your skincare is truly vegan
- Look for the Vegan certification with the green sunflower logo
- Check the ingredients list, even though it can sometimes be difficult to interpret
- Check the brand and look beyond claims to see whether it’s truly vegan and animal-friendly

Frequently asked questions

Vegan skincare can support mature skin with nourishing and restorative ingredients that help with comfort and elasticity.
Do I have to switch to fully vegan right away?

Is vegan skincare suitable for daily use and make up?
Vegan skincare and make up fit effortlessly into a daily routine and feel comfortable on the skin, from lightweight care to richer formulas, regardless of skin type.

Vegan skincare can help with acne, especially thanks to purifying and soothing ingredients. Green tea and Heartleaf support sebum balance, help cleanse pores, and reduce the look of blemishes.
