Personal Care
Vegan makeup, shampoo, body lotions, facial care, and nail polish are all available. The best way to figure out which brands don’t test on animals or use animal products is to do some online research. PETA (http://peta.org/living/) keeps an extensive and frequently updated list. Cruelty Free Face (http://crueltyfreeface.com) is also a great resource. When you read labels, avoid anything with lanolin, beeswax, oleic acid, allantoin, squalene, gelatin, glycerin (often animal-derived), keratin, milk protein, mink oil, or musk oil.
Clothing/Shoes
There are many hip and compassionate labels on the market these days:
Outerwear
The North Face, Land’s End, and LL Bean all make parkas with Thermaloft in place of down. Check out the websites, or call the company to get details. For high-fashion vegan coats, Vaute Couture makes beautiful, fashionable garments that are also ridiculously soft!
Clothing
The best place to start looking for vegan apparel is Etsy; not only will you find vegan options, but many of them will be budget friendly as well. Modcloth (http://modcloth.com), Lulus (Lulu’s (http://lulus.com) and Piperlime (http://piperlime.com) always have vegan options. For all vegan shopping, check out Alternative Outfitters (http://alternativeoutfitters.com).
Footwear
Vegan footwear has exploded, and there’s something for everyone. Classy shoe lines abound; some of my favorites are Olsen Haus (http://olsenhaus.com), Beyond Skin (http://beyondskin.co.uk), Neuaura (http://neuaurashoes.com), and Novacas (http://www.novacas.com). A wide selection of vegan shoes can be found at MooShoes, which has a flagship location on New York’s Lower East Side but also has an online store (http://mooshoes.com). The online retailer Zappos also offers vegan alternatives.
