Veganuary: Plant-Based Beauty for a Beautiful Start to the Year

Veganuary stands for a conscious start to the new year – with a focus on plant-based alternatives in everyday life. Those who follow a vegan diet pay attention to vitamins and appropriate nutritional supplements for vegans in order to provide their bodies with optimal nutrition. At the same time, there is growing interest in vegan nutritional supplements as well as vegan beauty products and vegan cosmetics that are not tested on animals. In our shop, you will find a wide selection of these products – for a vegan shopping basket that suits you.

The most important facts in brief:

• Discover Veganuary: consume more consciously without making major sacrifices.
• Understand Veganuary: goals, origins and significance.
• Live vegan: products without animal ingredients.
• Learn about the benefits: plant-based alternatives for health and the environment.
• Get started easily: recognise vegan products in everyday life.
• Discover vegan beauty, hair care and nutritional supplements.

Veganuary is a combination of the words ‘vegan’ and ‘January’ and is a global campaign inviting everyone to go vegan for the month of January. Today, this movement even has an international non-profit organisation based in the United Kingdom. The aim of the organisation was to make it as easy as possible to adopt a vegan lifestyle without pressure or long-term commitment, but with the support of a community.

Being vegan means avoiding all products of animal origin in your everyday consumption. This includes food, but also cosmetics and, depending on your lifestyle, clothing. The focus of this lifestyle is on using plant-based alternatives that do not contain any ingredients of animal origin. In the beauty sector, for example, animal ingredients such as bee products (beeswax, honey, propolis or royal jelly), milk, animal fats, keratin, shellac, carmine and squalane (or squalene) can be found in some products.

Veganuary goes beyond nutrition. The movement encourages people to consciously try vegan alternatives in the new year – without pressure or obligation. Many realise that they already use vegan cosmetics or prepare plant-based meals, often without even noticing. This conserves resources and raises awareness of one's own health.

Are you in? Veganuary can be fun. Small steps often have a more lasting effect than radical changes. First, get an overview: which products do you use every day, and which ones do you use rarely? This will help you quickly identify which ones are already vegan. Look for the vegan seal or declaration in the product description. Today, there are suitable plant-based alternatives for most animal-based ingredients.

The range of vegan products available in the beauty industry has grown significantly. Whether you're looking for make-up, skincare or nutritional supplements, find the right products for your Veganuary and discover a wide selection in the ‘Vegan Beauty Products’ category.

Tip: If you are looking for a specific product (e.g. vegan shampoo), select the desired category, set the filter to ‘vegan’ under ‘Ingredients’ on the left-hand side, and a selection of vegan products will be displayed.

Hair care and styling should be nourishing without weighing the hair down. Ingredients such as strengthening plant proteins from rice, wheat, or soy, moisturizing aloe vera, and nourishing plant oils like argan, coconut, or jojoba oil ensure beautifully cared-for hair, smoothness, and better structure when styling. Extracts from oats, nettle, or rosemary are also commonly used for gentle scalp care.

The plant-based ingredients used in a wide range of care products have proven themselves time and again. Well-known ingredients include green tea, butters such as shea butter, and oils such as argan, coconut and jojoba oil, which are also found in hair care products.

Want to try out a new make-up look or nail design with vegan formulas? There are loads of creative options out there. Vegan make-up and nail products use plant-based waxes and oils as well as mineral pigments instead of shellac.

Nutrients such as vitamin B12 and omega-3 are part of a balanced diet and essential for our bodies. Vegan versions are available from sources such as algae and plant-based proteins. Whether capsules, effervescent tablets, or powders discover a selection of vegan dietary supplements in our shop.
