Vegan Certification
Showcase Your Brand’s Commitment to Animal Ethics
In today’s conscious consumer market, a Vegan Certification does more than identify a trend — it signals a deep ethical commitment to animal well-being, transparency, and responsible formulation. For cosmetics brands, it provides a powerful and legally sound way to communicate these values.
Biorius offers a globally recognized Vegan Certification service, based on rigorous standards, to help you stand out while staying compliant.
What Makes a Cosmetic Product Vegan?
Biorius aligns with The Vegan Society’s internationally respected criteria. A certified vegan product must meet these four essential requirements:
-
No Animal-Derived Ingredients: This includes ingredients such as honey, milk proteins, beeswax, lanolin, and carmine. -
No Animal Testing: Neither the raw materials nor the finished product can be tested on animals, by the company or its suppliers. -
No GMOs Involving Animal Genes: The use of genetically modified organisms containing animal DNA or derived from animals is prohibited. -
Clean Manufacturing Practices: Facilities must meet strict hygiene standards to prevent cross-contamination with animal products.
Examples of Common Animal-Derived Ingredients to Watch For
Understanding which ingredients disqualify a product from vegan status is crucial.
Common examples include:
-
Carmine (CI 75740) – red pigment from cochineal insects -
Honey, beeswax, propolis – from beehives -
Lanolin – from sheep's wool -
Donkey milk – used in skincare -
Animal-derived collagen, squalane, keratin, glycerin
These can often be replaced with plant-based or synthetic alternatives that meet vegan criteria.
