You’re gorgeous—that’s a given. But are you using beauty products that don’t harm animals? We love effective products that aren’t tested on animals and don’t include any animal-derived ingredients. As the world increasingly moves toward cruelty-free, vegan fashion and beauty, we’re seeing a flood of terrific products hit store shelves. Every time you opt for a compassionate product, you get more beautiful inside and out. The following vegan facial cleansers are focused on different skin needs.
Check out some of our favorites:
Normal Skin
Dr Botanicals Grapefruit & Watermelon Refreshing Cleanser
This cleanser is suitable for every skin type. Rich in antioxidants and natural botanical extracts, it cleans pores gently yet effectively. It also aims to prevent imperfections without containing ingredients that are drying.
100% PURE Cucumber Cloud Foam Cleanser
This product is gentle and moisturizing, so it could be listed in both the “sensitive” and “dry skin” categories, too. Since it contains aloe and cucumber juice, your skin will feel super-soft after this product works its magic.
Dr. Dennis Gross Alpha Beta AHA/BHA Daily Cleansing Gel
This product uses willow bark and farnesol to remove impurities and bacteria, while the snow ear mushroom hydrates to maintain moisture.
S.W. Basics Cleanser
This organic cleanser has only three ingredients: rosewater, vegetable glycerin, and tea tree oil.
First Aid Beauty Deep Cleanser With Red Clay
No matter what type of skin you have, this cleanser will work wonders.
Burt’s Bees Soap Bark & Chamomile Deep Cleansing Cream
Soapbark helps cleanse, while ingredients like chamomile and coconut oil help replenish moisture. Stay tuned for a cool, menthol tingle after washing off this cleansing cream.
Murad Essential-C Cleanser
This antioxidant-rich cleanser targets skin that’s a bit stressed from environmental damage. Vitamins A, C, and E heal by neutralizing toxins and rehydrating.
Acne-Prone Skin
Alba Botanica Acnedote
This face wash brings in heavy hitters salicylic acid and willow bark extract to help counteract acne.
100% PURE Tea Tree & Willow Acne Clear Cleanser
We love all the natural ingredients at work here: calming parsley, neem oil to fight acne and treat scars, and willow bark to reduce wrinkles and shrink pores. Plus, a special type of algae locks in moisture for the win.
Juice Beauty Blemish Clearing Cleanser
Some acne-focused products may dry out skin—but not this one. Juice Beauty cleanses with certified organic lemon and rehydrates with cherry and aloe juices.
Dry Skin
Juice Beauty Stem Cellular Cleansing Oil
What could be more hydrating than cleansing with an oil? This one is formulated with grapeseed, may chang, and ho wood oils, along with fruit stem cells and vitamin C, which help remove impurities.
Oily Skin
Ole Henriksen Find Your Balance Oil Control Cleanser
Featuring green tea, eucalyptus, and Irish moss extracts, this cleanser is focused on clearing pores for a deeper clean.
Lush Charcoal Facial Soap
Lush adds rosewood and sandalwood oils to balance out charcoal’s cleansing powers. You’ll also find “liquorice root decoction” in this face bar, which adds a slight anise scent.
Sensitive Skin
Desert Essence Gentle Nourishing Organic Cleanser
Moisturizing jojoba, avocado, and olive oils are combined with ceramides and hylauronic acid to create this soothing cleanser that protects your skin barrier.
Acure Brightening Cleansing Gel
You only have to use a drop of this effective formula, featuring pomegranate, calendula, lemon, and chlorella. It can be used for normal skin, also.
