List of Household Vegan Items

Household products like soaps, shampoos, conditioners, and cleaners often contain hidden animal ingredients without clear labeling. Discover our list of truly vegan items to ensure your home aligns with your values.

How to identify?

Household items might include animal-based ingredients such as glycerin, cholesterol, beeswax, or stearic acid. To ensure a product is vegan, look for the vegan and cruelty-free logos on the packaging or check the brand’s website.

In India, not all vegan and cruelty-free products clearly state this on their packaging. Search for the vegetarian logo and review the ingredient list, or confirm the product’s status online.
