Skin highlighting products are emphasizing their vegan formulations
Implications - As more North Americans adopt veganism, brands that offer skin highlighting cosmetics are formulating their products to suit these lifestyles. Using vegan ingredients and cruelty-free production processes allows brands to cater to vegans and non-vegans alike, as the term "vegan" is often associated with nutrition in general. As such, this marketing shift serves consumers with all types of lifestyle habits, while catering to the almost universal desire for health and wellness.
