Is Vegamour Natural? Vegan and Cruelty-Free Are Not the Same Thing

Is Vegamour natural or certified? It is certified vegan and Leaping Bunny cruelty-free, but those are claims about animals, not natural formulation, and it holds no COSMOS certification.

Vegamour is certified vegan and Leaping Bunny cruelty-free, and it markets heavily on plant-based hair wellness. Those certifications are real, but they are claims about animals, not about natural formulation. Vegamour holds no COSMOS or ECOCERT certification, so vegan and cruelty-free should not be read as natural or organic. Here is the distinction.

What Vegamour is certified for

Vegamour states that all its products are 100% vegan, cruelty-free and Leaping Bunny certified. That means no animal-derived ingredients and no animal testing. What it does not mean, and what the public databases do not show, is COSMOS or ECOCERT certification of the formula.

Vegan and cruelty-free are not the same as natural

This is where a lot of shoppers are misled, usually without the brand saying anything untrue. Vegan means no animal-derived ingredients. Cruelty-free means no animal testing. Neither says anything about whether the rest of the formula is natural or synthetic. A product can be fully vegan, certified cruelty-free, and still contain silicones, synthetic polymers and synthetic fragrance. Those are separate promises, and only natural-formulation certification such as COSMOS verifies the formula itself.

How to actually check

Read the INCI list, which is legally required and ordered by concentration, and look for a COSMOS logo you can find in the ECOCERT or Soil Association database. If the only certifications are vegan and cruelty-free, treat the product as exactly that, and judge its naturalness from the ingredient list. Our brand comparison shows who holds which certification.

A certified, and vegan, alternative

Most NUDA formulas are certified to the ECOCERT COSMOS standard, and several products are also vegan, including our NECTAR BATH. So you get the third-party natural-formulation certification and the vegan formula together, both verifiable. Each product page shows its vegan status and full INCI.
