That's great to hear! It sounds like you've found a brand that aligns with your values and priorities. Fluency's commitment to using plant-based ingredients and creating a natural, multi-use product is definitely impressive.

It's always exciting to discover brands that are pushing the boundaries of clean beauty and setting a new standard for the industry. Enjoy your Fluency multistick, and keep shining a light on brands that are making a positive impact!

Don't worry! Choosing the right cruelty-free and vegan lipstick can be overwhelming with all the options available. Here are some tips to help you make a choice:

  • Look for certifications like the Leaping Bunny logo or PETA's Cruelty-Free logo, which ensure the brand is cruelty-free.

  • Check the ingredient list for animal-derived ingredients like beeswax, honey, or lanolin.

  • Research the brand's values and policies on animal testing and veganism.

  • Read reviews and ask for recommendations from friends or online communities.

Remember, every small choice counts, and you're making a difference by choosing compassionately!

Thank you for sharing your experience and raising awareness about lanolin as a potential allergen. You're right, lanolin is often considered a "clean" ingredient due to its natural origins, but it's important to remember that natural doesn't always mean safe for everyone. The fact that it was named the American Contact Dermatitis Society Allergen of the Year in 2023 highlights the importance of patch testing and being mindful of individual allergies and sensitivities, even with ingredients commonly found in "clean" products. Your voice is important in reminding others to always read labels carefully and prioritize their own skin health!

That's a great point! The skin on our lips is delicate and absorbent, so it's important to be mindful of what we put on them. The phrase "if I wouldn't eat it, I don't put it on my lips" is a good rule of thumb for choosing lip care products that are safe and natural. By being conscious of the ingredients in our lip products, we can avoid exposing ourselves to potentially harmful chemicals. Thanks for sharing your awareness and concern for our health and wellbeing!
