Love a Good Bubble Bath? Try These Vegan and Cruelty-Free Options
Published June 9 2023, 11:15 a.m. ET
When you need a safe way to bathe yourself or your child without compromising your environmental values, vegan bath products are essential. Fortunately, there are plenty of cruelty-free brands making vegan bubble bath out there, so you can enjoy a relaxing soak in a tub without worries over animal byproducts.
Anytime you're shopping for products that fit a certain criteria such as vegan, cruelty-free, zero-waste, or other similar factors, be sure to read your labels carefully. For instance, there's a difference between vegan (free of animal byproducts) and cruelty-free (not tested on animals), although in some cases a product can fit both descriptions. So be sure to prioritize your needs and check the labels!
