Additionally, vegan products are rich in essential oils and full of antioxidants, minerals, and vitamins, nourishing your skin and keeping it looking fresh for longer. These vitamins and antioxidants – especially the raw, unprocessed variety – provide the skin with a natural defense against pollution and are stacked with nourishing butter and oils, which gently cleanse your skin and give it a supple feeling without the irritation caused by traditional, chemical-based products.

The Face Shop’s newest skincare inductees, Farm Rx and Isa Knox bring a plethora of benefits including, but not limited to being kinder to skin and purging the practice of animal testing.
