- Many mainstream lipstick products contain palm oil which is often linked to deforestation not usually farmed in a sustainable way
- There are unfortunately still many beauty brands which test of animals and many that use animal-derived ingredients, making them unsuitable for vegans
- Red colourings like cochineal, also known as E120 or Natural Red 4, are derived from beetles
