Veganuary isn't just about the food, but an opportunity to not only think about the ingredients we’re putting into our bodies, but also the ones going on our skin. Ready to enjoy the benefits of a plant-based beauty regime? Veganuary is easier than ever with our edit of the best vegan-friendly Korean Beauty products.

Veganuary is an annual global challenge that encourages and educates people to adopt a plant-based lifestyle throughout the month of January, starting on the first day of the month. If you’re looking for a more sustainable and cruelty-free skincare regime, or you’re doing Veganuary because it’s better for the planet, we’re here to help it a little easier for you to opt for a plant-based skincare routine.

K-Beauty has come a long way and luckily, there’s been a move towards brands being increasingly cruelty-free and producing products that contain no animal-derived ingredients. ''When it comes to K-Beauty, we often find plant extracts like mugwort, centella, tea tree or heart leaf, which has gained a lot attractions recently, in the formula. These natural ingredients have been studied and used in traditional medicine for decades as a treatment for a variety of health conditions and soothe and heal skin.'' says Glam Touch founder Sen.

''These days Korean beauty brands take vegan skincare to another level with the single ingredient formula. It means the product contains only one natural ingredient such as Centella Asiatica extract or Heart Leaf extract like the Banobagi Heart Leaf 100 Essence. They will not only put you at ease with the ingredients you usually keep an eye out for, but also may benefit those with sensitive skin.'' adds Sen.
