Is Aveda vegan?
Aveda offers a wide range of vegan products, clearly labeled, but some items contain animal-derived ingredients like honey or beeswax.
Vegan means no animal-derived ingredients — beeswax, lanolin, carmine, collagen, silk or milk proteins — anywhere in the formula. It is a separate claim from cruelty-free, and a brand can be one without the other.
