SHOW NOTES:
In this episode, I’m touching on the differences between Vegan and Cruelty Free Beauty, discussing the dangers of chemical eyelash growth serums and sitting down with Luna Nectar founder, Mia Kut to discuss her non chemical alternative.
VEGAN VS. CRUELTY FREE 1:40
1. Vegan doesn’t contain animal ingredients
2. Vegan doesn’t mean free from animal testing

5. Required by Law Animal Testing
YOU PUT THAT NEAR YOUR EYE? 8:16
1. Chemical eyelash growth serums contain prostaglandin analogue – a compound that signals inflammation
2. Chemical Eyelash serums cause chronic and irreversible dry eye disease
3. Prostaglandin analogue is used in glaucoma treatment
4. Inflammation thickens the oil that provides the eye with moisture and clogs the glands.
5. Many over the counter serums contain a synthetic version of prostaglandin analogue isopropyl cloprostenate and claim to have no active medical ingredient. The synthetic version causes the same damage.
