Ah, the thrill of new skincare goodies hitting Sephora’s shelves—there’s nothing quite like it! And when those shiny new products are vegan? Cue the happy dance! We’ve scoured Sephora’s latest vegan skincare launches, and let us tell you, there’s a lot to love this summer.
The Thing with Sephora: A Little Heads-Up
We love Sephora, but their vegan filter can be a bit… tricky.
They often label products as vegan based solely on ingredients, sometimes overlooking the brand’s stance on animal testing. That’s why it’s crucial to check if the brand is both vegan and cruelty-free—double whammy filters, folks!
That said, Sephora is definitely stepping up its eco-conscious game and boasts a fantastic vegan lineup.
Sephora Vegan Skincare Launches We Love
These new skincare launches over at Sephora are 100% vegan and cruelty-free.
The Ordinary Saccharomyces Ferment 30% Milky Toner
Price: $14
The Ordinary has done it again with an exciting new launch that’s already making waves. This fermented, essence-y toner is like a gentle K-beauty whisper for your skin. It’s perfect for those who find regular exfoliators too harsh. Saccharomyces Ferment 30% encourages surface exfoliation to smooth uneven texture, while vegan squalane hydrates, softens, and provides barrier support.
Reviewers are raving about how soft and smooth their skin feels. It’s tackling congestion, shrinking pores, and even easing fine lines. Bye-bye, red bumps!
P.S. Everything from The Ordinary is vegan and cruelty-free. Score!
Summer Fridays Lip Butter Balm in Iced Coffee
Price: $24
Summer Fridays is the vegan cult-favorite brand we can’t get enough of. Their latest Lip Butter Balm in Iced Coffee is a delicious new addition. Think caramel frappe flavor meets neutral brown glossy shade—perfect for a summer refresh. Shea and Murumuru Seed Butters provide natural moisturization, and vegan waxes soften and add shine without the sticky mess.
Smells divine, feels divine. What’s not to love?
Tower 28 Daily Balancing Gel Cleanser
Price: $20
Tower 28, our vegan beauty darling, has branched out from makeup to skincare, and we’re here for it. Their Daily Balancing Gel Cleanser is a multitasking marvel—removing makeup, mineral SPF, oils, and dirt without drying out your skin. The low-foam formula features minerals and electrolytes (zinc, copper, magnesium) to boost skin’s immunity and hydration, along with soothing aloe vera and oat.
Sensitive skin safe and seriously effective.
Glow Recipe Watermelon Glow Dew Balm SPF 45
Price: $20
Glow Recipe’s first-ever SPF is a summer must-have! This vegan wonder gives you that dewy glow while offering broad-spectrum sun protection. Packed with niacinamide and hyaluronic acid, it’s hydrating and brightening. Niacinamide is great for evening out skin tone and reducing dullness, while hyaluronic acid provides deep hydration to keep your skin plump.
Heads up: It’s super hydrating, so it might not be the best for acne-prone or oily skin, but everyone else will love it.
Fenty Skin Butta Drop Hydrating Body Milk
Price: $32
Rihanna’s Fenty Skin has blessed us with a lighter, quick-absorbing version of their bestselling body butter. This body milk leaves your skin silky smooth with a blend of luxurious plant oils like Kalahari Melon, Baobab, Shea, and Mango.
Divine yet subtle scent. Perfection in a bottle.
Fun Fact: While Fenty Beauty has some non-vegan items, Fenty Skin is 100% vegan. Yay, Riri!
The Inkey List Hydrocolloid Invisible Pimple Patches
Price: $9
The Inkey List delivers once again with their affordable, vegan-friendly products. Their new pimple patches are a game-changer for acne-prone skin. Made with 99% hydrocolloid, 0.4% salicylic acid, and 0.4% succinic acid, these patches are super thin and almost invisible.
One user said they “suck up so much pimple gunk.” Gross but satisfying!
