Vegan soap
Vegan soaps (or vegetable soaps) are
essential oils, while excluding animal products such as lanolin, gelatin, lard, and tallow.[2] Examples of traditional vegan soaps include: Aleppo soap, Castile soap, Marseille soap, Nabulsi soap, and some glycerin soaps
.
Vegans may boycott soaps tested on animals.[3] The Vegan Society defines veganism as excluding "—as far as is possible and practicable—all forms of exploitation of, and cruelty to, animals".[1] According to People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA), there are "plenty" of animal-testing free vegan bar soaps to choose from, "no matter your skin type or budget."[4]
