Botanical Skincare vs. Vegan: What’s the Difference?

Regarding skincare, terms like Botanical and Vegan are often used interchangeably. But are they the same? While both focus on natural ingredients and ethical beauty, they differ. Let’s break it down so you can choose the best skincare products for your needs.

What is Botanical Skincare?

Botanical skincare is all about plant-based ingredients. These formulations harness the power of herbs, flowers, roots, and essential oils to nourish the skin naturally.

✔ Uses extracts from plants, fruits, and herbs ✔ Often rich in antioxidants, vitamins, and essential oils ✔ Can include non-vegan ingredients like honey, beeswax, or lanolin ✔ Focuses on natural, holistic beauty but may contain synthetic ingredients

Example: A face cream infused with chamomile and honey is botanical but not vegan due to the honey content.

What is Vegan Skincare?

Vegan skincare means that no animal-derived ingredients are used in the formulation. That includes common non-vegan skincare ingredients such as honey, beeswax, lanolin (from sheep’s wool), collagen, and silk proteins.

✔ 100% free from animal-derived ingredients ✔ Can be botanical (if plant-based) but may also contain synthetic ingredients ✔ Often associated with cruelty-free beauty, but not always the same thing ✔ Suitable for vegans and those avoiding animal by-products

Example: A hyaluronic acid serum made from plant-derived sources with botanical extracts is both vegan and botanical.

Can Skincare Be Both Botanical and Vegan?

Absolutely! Many brands formulate their skincare to be both Botanical and Vegan, meaning they rely solely on plant-based ingredients and exclude all animal by-products.

However, just because a product is botanical doesn’t mean it’s vegan, and vice versa. Always check ingredient lists if you follow a strict vegan skincare routine.

Which One is Right for You? 

Choosing between botanical and vegan skincare depends on your personal preferences and values:

If you want nature-inspired, plant-based beauty, go for botanical skincare. If you want cruelty-free, animal-free formulations, choose vegan skincare.

For those looking for a balance of both, opt for skincare products that are both botanical and vegan, ensuring you get the best of plant-based beauty without any animal-derived ingredients.
