Even so, many cosmetic products still use animal-derived raw materials \u2013 for example the red dye carmine, for which lice are killed, or ingredients such as emu oil, mink oil and collagen, which are sometimes even found in natural cosmetics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The term \u201cvegan\u201d is not legally protected, so in principle any manufacturer can use it. Our vegan products are accordingly certified by the Vegan Society \u2013 you\u2019ll find the seal on the packaging or on the relevant product page.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-css-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Why are FAIR SQUARED products consistently vegan?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At FAIR SQUARED, we want to be fair not only to our producers and the environment, but also to the animals we share this planet with. That\u2019s why, for our vegan products, we deliberately avoid any ingredients of animal origin, regardless of how they are obtained. Whether a product is vegan can be recognised by the Vegan Society seal on the packaging or on the relevant product page.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-css-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Do you also make sure that no animals are harmed when sourcing your raw materials?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Yes: for us, \u201cvegan\u201d doesn\u2019t just mean that a finished product contains no animal-derived ingredients \u2014 it also means that no animals are used, kept or harmed in obtaining the raw materials. That\u2019s why, when selecting our raw materials, we already make sure that no animals are used for cultivation, harvesting or processing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-css-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Are your condoms and menstrual cups vegan too? What makes them special?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Yes: many conventional natural-rubber products are manufactured using casein, a milk protein that gives the latex extra suppleness. Our natural-rubber condoms and menstrual cups are made entirely without casein and are accordingly certified as vegan by the Vegan Society.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>FAQ on Veganism What can be non-vegan about cosmetics, and what does that actually mean?
