Is Your ‘No-Shave November’ Beard as Clean as It Can Be?
No-Shave November is here! When it comes to keeping your beard soft, clean, and shiny, choosing the right products is key—but have you ever thought about how these are made? Some beard-care products on the market may contain animal-derived ingredients like beeswax or lanolin, but you can avoid exploiting animals by choosing ones made with animal-friendly ingredients like coconut oil, shea butter, and aloe vera instead.
Sheep, bees, and other animals who are exploited for personal-care products are someone, notsomething.Choosing vegan and cruelty-free products is a simple way to show them the respect that they deserve.
Whether you’re new to beard care or a seasoned pro, we’ll help guide you through creating a vegan grooming routine that will have you looking your best while being kind to animals.
First Step: Wash Your Face
Scrub the bacteria off your face with a cleansing wash. Jack Black’s Beard Wash or LUSH’s Kalamazoo Beard and Facial Wash are both great vegan and cruelty-free options.
S.W. Basics’ Cleanser is a nonfoaming, soap- and alcohol-free cleanser that contains rosewater and organic tea tree oil to leave your beard smelling fresh.
Mineral-rich sea kelp helps keep your skin hydrated when you use Desert Essence’s Thoroughly Clean Face Wash.
Next, Protect It
Grime doesn’t stand a chance against Jack Black’s Beard Oil.
Stay refreshed with Max Green Alchemy’s Scruff Rescue collection.
LUSH’s Grease Lightning gel works on problematic dirt and oil and is blended with aloe vera and grape juice.
And no face is finished without a moisturizer. Create another layer of protection with Jack Black’s Double-Duty Face Moisturizer SPF 20.
