Around 60% of cosmetic ingredients are derived from plants or minerals, making them inherently vegan. For Evera, defining a truly vegan formulation extends significantly beyond merely omitting animal-derived components.
The broader conversation around vegan beauty often stops at simple exclusion. This surface-level understanding can overlook the intricate supply chains and processing methods behind raw materials.
For instance, glycerides — common emollients — can be sourced from animal fats or plant oils. Our commitment mandates rigorous verification of all such compounds, ensuring their botanical origin.
Most brands might simply verify the absence of a few key animal products. Evera insists on comprehensive documentation for every single raw material, tracing its provenance and synthesis process.
Every ingredient, from primary actives to excipients, undergoes meticulous scrutiny. We examine INCI lists and supplier certifications to confirm botanical sourcing, ensuring no hidden animal by-products.
Our definition of vegan also encompasses the integrity of the plant material itself. We prioritise sustainably harvested botanicals, processed to retain their intrinsic efficacy without harsh chemicals.
Consider the extraction of beneficial polysaccharides from aloe vera. We favour cold-pressed methods over chemical solvents, preserving the plant’s delicate molecular structure and potency.
Naturally, this dedication extends to our complete prohibition of animal testing. Our formulations are never tested on animals, at any stage.
The term ‘vegan’ is a starting point, not the destination. It is a foundational principle that guides our entire formulation philosophy, from research to packaging.
This meticulous approach ensures our products are not only free from animal-derived components, but also align with a deeper respect for nature’s intelligence.
