Vegan Living Beyond Food: Complete Guide to Vegan Products & Lifestyle

Veganism Extends Beyond Your Plate

When most people think 'vegan,' they think diet. But true vegan living encompasses every purchase decision—from the phone case protecting your device to the earrings you wear. Here's your complete guide to vegan products that align with your values.

Why Vegan Products Matter

Animal products hide in unexpected places: leather phone cases, beeswax candles, silk clothing, wool carpets, and even some adhesives use animal-derived ingredients. Living fully vegan means scrutinizing every purchase, but it's easier than ever with dedicated vegan alternatives.

Vegan Tech Accessories

Phone Cases Without Leather

Traditional phone cases often use leather or animal-based adhesives. Our biodegradable phone cases are 100% vegan, made from plant-based materials like flax and wheat straw. Choose from ocean blue, natural white, honey bee, or ocean turtle designs.

For transparent protection, our recycled ocean plastic case is completely vegan and helps clean our oceans.

Vegan Beauty & Personal Care

Cruelty-Free Skincare

Our lavender tea tree skin cream is 100% vegan with no animal testing. Natural ingredients like lavender and tea tree oil provide effective acne treatment without animal exploitation.

Vegan Grooming

The cedarwood vegan beard balm uses mango and coconut butters instead of beeswax. It conditions beards naturally while being completely plant-based.

Plant-Based Hair Care

Both our nettles & rosemary shampoo bar and goats milk shampoo bar are vegan-friendly, using plant-based ingredients and natural oils instead of animal fats.

Vegan Fashion & Accessories

Jewelry Without Animal Products

Our Neptune rubber earrings and Lantern earrings are made from upcycled bicycle inner tubes—a perfect leather alternative. They're vegan, cruelty-free, and feature sterling silver hooks (no nickel).

Vegan Fitness

Our recycled rubber resistance band is made from upcycled bicycle tyres—100% vegan fitness equipment that's durable and sustainable.

The Beeswax Question

Many vegans avoid beeswax due to bee exploitation concerns. While our beeswax candles aren't vegan, we source from ethical beekeepers who prioritize bee health. For strict vegans, we recommend soy or coconut wax candles as alternatives.

Vegan Kitchen Essentials

All our wooden kitchen products are vegan-friendly:

Upcycled cutting boards use food-safe, plant-based adhesives
Herringbone boards feature recycled leather handles (note: not vegan due to leather)
Serving plates and measuring spoons are 100% plant-based

Our olive wood collection—including honey jars, soap dishes, and drinking cups—uses only natural oil finishes, no animal products.

Reading Labels: What to Avoid

Common non-vegan ingredients: Beeswax, lanolin (sheep wool grease), carmine (crushed beetles), shellac (insect secretions), gelatin (animal bones), and leather, silk, wool.

Vegan alternatives: Candelilla wax, plant oils, natural dyes, plant-based resins, agar-agar, and synthetic or plant-based fabrics.

The Impact of Vegan Choices

Choosing vegan products: prevents animal exploitation, reduces environmental impact (animal agriculture is resource-intensive), supports cruelty-free innovation, and aligns purchases with ethical values.

Building Your Vegan Lifestyle

Start with: Personal care items (easiest to verify)
Then add: Fashion and accessories
Finally: Home goods and furniture

Every vegan product purchased is a vote for a kinder world. It tells companies that cruelty-free matters, that animals aren't commodities, and that ethical alternatives are viable.

Vegan living beyond food is about consistency—ensuring every purchase reflects your values. It's not about perfection but progress. Each vegan swap matters.
