Men's Vegan Skincare

by Jamie Riddell


The range of men’s vegan skincare products continues to rise, helping us chaps look good and feel great. We've added a few more skincare brands that our team have been trialling in January this year.

Switching to vegan means you are being kinder to your skin and to the environment. It means no animal hormones on your skin that cause irritation, no animal testing and less chemicals which is good for the planet.

When checking for their vegan credentials, check that the brand has trust marks like the leaping bunny certification, vegan approved  or the PETA 'beauty without bunnies' logo.

Our range of men's skincare brands takes in challenger brands like Bulldog, more established brands like Molton Brown and Neal's Yard, plus the one that started it all - the Body Shop.

A selection of Vegan Men's Skincare brands including Bulldog, Heath and Mancave

Bulldog 

Founded in 2005, Bulldog Skincare are leading the way for men’s skincare. With a selection of skincare, shaving and body products, they’re the perfect men’s vegan skincare brand and a personal favourite of the author. The range has expanded to include moisturisers, face wash and lip balm plus eco razorsshower gel and more. 

All of their products are suitable for vegans and vegetarians, certified by Cruelty Free International, and free from plastic microbeads. They even have a tube recycling scheme with First Mile in a process which powers itself, making it carbon neutral.

Bulldog moisturisers keep your skin hydrated, lip balms keep lips soft, and face scrubs leave you energised and refreshed. You can tailor your men’s vegan skincare routine to suit your skin’s needs by choosing between their Original, Sensitive, Energising, and Oil Control ranges. 

Mancave

Mancave is cool men's skincare brand from Aimtru, a Derby (UK) based 'holistic and health wellbeing movement.' We spotted their haircare products in Waitrose and popped back to try their moisturiser. Certified cruelty free and vegan friendly their original moisturiser is nice and thick that absorbs quickly to make your skin feel more hydrated. It is made with natural ingredients like Aloe Vera White Tea, Cucumber extract and Willow, with bark. The recycled plastic tube is also good the environment, and the gentle [we think] pine smell is stronger than, say, Bulldog but it's very pleasant!

 

Heath

Heath London have a swish looking set of men's skincare 'designed for the urban man' which can also be found on suburban Waitrose shelves, which is lucky for us! Once we'd got over the size difference between box and product we found a smooth moisturiser that applies easily making the skin 'tingle' for a minute or two after, which must be their 'mood boosting benefits!' The flowery (we're not great on identifying smells) is pleasant.
