Beauty Without Cruelty (BWC) has been paving the way, creating amazing skincare and beauty products since 1963 and consistently improving with age! In fact they were one of the first products I started using when I became vegan 18 years ago!
They are certified by Vegan Society 
, and Leaping Bunny 
(I love when companies go that extra step) and most products are gluten-free for those with wheat allergies.
They have a full range of affordable products: skincare, make-up, haircare etc… I want to share just a few of their many products that I love and use.
BWC has 6 different vegan mascaras to choose from! I am currently using BWC Full Volume mascara in black. This is consistently ranked as a favorite in many of the eco and vegan beauty blogs I read. I really love the big brush. Besides a good cruelty-free formula, you have to have a good brush that separates and defines your lashes. I like big mascara brushes, as in my mind it creates the illusion that I’m going to have big lashes. And it’s great when it really does work. If you want dark, dramatic, smudge free lashes, this is the one you want.
The packaging is beautiful too, very girly and fun. I am a sucker for pretty packaging.
AHA facial cleanser: I have very sensitive skin and normally shy away from anything with alpha hydroxy acid such as glycolic acid. Luckily my skin seems to really like this and responds well to it. I use it on my face every other day but use it on my body daily and my body is surprisingly more sensitive than my face. I swear it has made my arms and legs smoother!
As you can see, BWC has many shampoos and conditioners. 
I know some may disagree with this, but I am guilty of shampooing and conditioning my hair every day. My hairstylists always advise to wash my hair every other day or a few times a week but I can’t take a shower without washing my hair. To me, it’s like not soaping my body. My favorite BWC shampoo and conditioner is the Rosemary Mint Tea Tree. I gravitate toward minty or tea tree products when it comes to hair care. I love the refreshing feeling of minty products in the morning. It is totally invigorating, wakes me up, and makes me feel sparkling clean.
My favorite BWC product is the Vitamin C with CoQ10 hand & body lotion featured in the August Vegan Presence package! Vegan Presence subscribers already know how awesome this product is. We often forget that our body needs anti-aging products too. Don’t neglect your body, especially the parts that show aging first, like hands and neck. This hand and body lotion contains Vitamin C with CoQ10 known for their anti-aging properties as well as healing aloe vera and chamomile extract. I keep the travel size in my purse at all times.
Internatural is where I purchase my BWC products from because they always have great deals.
