Vegan Hair And Beauty In London

by

When most people think about veganism, their minds go straight to food. And fair enough. What we eat is a huge part of living a compassionate lifestyle.

But being a conscious consumer doesn’t stop at what’s on our plate.

Beyond food, there are countless ways to reduce harm and make more ethical choices in everyday life. From the clothes we wear to the beauty products we use, every purchase is an opportunity to support businesses that align with our values.

One area often overlooked is personal care services like hairdressers and beauty salons. Traditional products used in these industries often include animal-derived ingredients or can be tested on animals. That’s why it’s fantastic to see vegan-friendly options popping up, giving consumers cruelty-free alternatives.

Vegan biodegradable sneakers?

by

Will’s Vegan Store is keeping the ethical goods flowing!

Say hello to the LDN Biodegradable Sneakers.

Over a year in the making, LDN Sneakers were created by Will’s working with leading shoe component manufacturers across Europe to create what they believe to be one of the most sustainable shoes on the planet.

Biodegradable? How does that work?

Here is the technical stuff.

Tencel™ knit weave uppers, linings, laces, lace tips, padding, tape and stitching are derived from sustainably grown wood sources (FSC®), harvested from certified and controlled sources. The Apinat Bio® outsoles are completely biodegradable under composting conditions, as well as compressed cardboard toe puffs, counter, and insole board (FSC®). The sneakers also feature wood fibre and natural latex insoles.

That’s a whole lot of fancy words to say they can be composted!

Available in white, grey, and black knit.
