The Meaning of Vegan Skincare
Vegan skincare contains no animal-derived ingredients. This includes common ones like beeswax and milk, as well as less obvious ones like collagen, primarily sourced from cows, pigs, or fish.
Our plant-based skin products combine science and nature to deliver botanical alternatives and biotechnology innovations that provide the same or better skincare benefits without compromising on ethics. Beyond being kind to animals, vegan formulations often align with more sustainable sourcing practices, making them a mindful choice for both your skin and the planet. They can also be a gentle option for sensitive skin, as they avoid animal-derived ingredients that may cause irritation.
How to Spot Our Vegan Skin Products
To find our vegan options, we clearly label the products.
We provide a full overview of ingredients, production methods, and composition on every product page so you can feel confident about what you're purchasing, how it's developed, and what's in it. From cleansers to eye care, our vegan facial care range has something for every skin type and need.
The Difference Between Vegan and Natural Skincare
A vegan label doesn't always mean a product is formulated with high-quality ingredients. In many cases, synthetic replacements are used in place of traditionally animal-derived components. Natural skincare, on the other hand, focuses on carefully selected botanical and plant-based actives that are designed to work in harmony with your skin.
At ANNEMARIE BÖRLIND, we bring both worlds together. Our vegan skincare products are formulated with naturally derived ingredients, thoughtfully chosen for their effectiveness and skin compatibility. The result is effective natural cosmetic that deliver visible results while reflecting our deep commitment to quality, transparency, and ethical sourcing.
Cruelty-Free Skincare and What It Means
Cruelty-free skincare means that neither the product nor its ingredients have been tested on animals at any stage of development. It's a commitment to working with alternative testing methods to deliver effective, cruelty-free skin care without harm. By choosing cruelty-free face products, you're supporting a more compassionate, responsible industry committed to high-quality standards, transparency, and sustainability.
It's important to note that cruelty-free doesn't always mean vegan. "Vegan" refers to the ingredients, while "cruelty-free" refers to the process (no animal testing). Products may not be tested on animals but could still contain animal-derived ingredients. At ANNEMARIE BÖRLIND, the vast majority of our cruelty-free skin care products are also vegan, backed by trusted certifications that guarantee our commitment to ethical beauty.
PETA-Approved Skincare and Our Commitment to Ethical Beauty
Since our founding in 1959, we've taken a strong stance on animal welfare and have never carried out animal testing. This commitment is an integral part of our company philosophy and shapes how we make decisions every day.
To further underscore our long-standing dedication to ethical and sustainable skincare, we joined PETA's "Beauty Without Bunnies" program. ANNEMARIE BÖRLIND is now officially PETA certified. This recognition confirms that none of our PETA-approved skincare products or their ingredients have been tested on animals.
This certification reinforces our belief that natural beauty and caring for your skin shouldn't come at the cost of animal welfare or the environment.
Vegan Active Ingredient Innovations That Go Beyond Alternatives
At ANNEMARIE BÖRLIND, we take pride in carefully curating active ingredients. We never stop searching for innovative, vegan solutions. We track down plant-based substances and refine them into highly effective natural cosmetics using the latest scientific research. Our goal is not only to create vegan alternatives but to deliver results that rival or even surpass their animal-derived counterparts.
Here are some of the standout ingredients we source for our plant-based skincare range.
Botanical Fresh Cells
We are pioneers in cultivating botanical cells. Fresh cells from papyrus help revitalize the look of skin, provide hydration, and support the appearance of a healthy skin barrier. The highly effective extract is obtained from the stem cells in papyrus leaves. These botanical fresh cells bring out your skin's natural glow. In concentrated serums, they can deliver their full potential directly to the skin.
Vegan Retinol
Retinol is widely known for its ability to refine the skin's appearance. It's commonly used to help reduce the visible signs of aging, including fine lines & wrinkles. Traditional retinol is sometimes sourced from animal products such as liver from chickens and cows, eggs, and fish. Synthetic versions can also cause irritation for those with sensitive skin.
At ANNEMARIE BÖRLIND, we rely on a plant-based retinol alternative that delivers the visible benefits of retinol: samphira oil.
Samphira oil is derived from sea fennel, also known as Crithmum maritimum. It helps support the look of skin's natural firmness and refines skin's appearance without irritating it. The 2-PHASE ELASTIN SHAKE harnesses the power of samphira oil by combining its visible effects with a plant-based elastin booster, which helps improve the appearance of skin elasticity and imparts a natural glow.
This combination helps visibly improve skin texture and promotes a smoother-looking complexion. The retinol alternative samphira oil is also used in some of our NATNUEO skincare products. However, the innovative PF⁴ complex in this range includes honey, which makes it part of our vegetarian skincare products rather than vegan.
If you're interested in learning how to slow down skin aging, incorporating plant-based retinol alternatives into your routine is a wonderful way to start.
Plant-Based Collagen for Firmer-Looking Skin
Collagen is a naturally occurring protein in your body that helps provide structure and support. As part of the natural aging process, the body's collagen production gradually slows, which can lead to visible signs of aging.
Including collagen-supporting ingredients in your skin care routine can help improve the look of hydration and promote a smoother, more youthful-looking complexion. Traditionally, collagen is obtained from animal sources. At ANNEMARIE BÖRLIND, we rely on an innovative vegan alternative: plant-based collagen.
Our vegan collagen is made from corn, soy, and wheat proteins. These ingredients were chosen for their high amino acid content, which mimics the properties of traditional collagen. This vegan version is characterized by its ability to retain more water than conventional collagen, providing intensive hydration and helping to improve the look of skin elasticity.
Whether you're looking for deep hydration or exploring natural collagen for firmer, plumper skin, our plant-based formulas are designed to deliver visible results. Our NATUCOLLAGEN BOOST Neck & Décolleté Serum is a perfect example, combining vegan collagen with targeted care for areas that deserve extra attention.
Botanical Hyaluronic Acid for Plant-Based Moisture
Hyaluronic acid is a naturally occurring substance in the skin known for its ability to retain and bind large volumes of moisture. In skincare, it's used to intensely hydrate and visibly smooth the skin, making it a go-to ingredient in products that target dryness and help reveal radiant skin.
While hyaluronic acid was once traditionally extracted from rooster combs, biotechnological processes now allow for purely plant-based production. At ANNEMARIE BÖRLIND, we rely on two innovative forms of vegan hyaluronic acid, both sourced naturally.
Botanical Hyaluronic Acid from the Tremella Fungus
The Tremella fuciformis mushroom (also known as the "silver ear") has long been prized in Asian medicine for its hydrating properties. Its chemical structure is very similar to hyaluronic acid found naturally in the skin. Our botanical hyaluronic acid moisturizes and visibly smooths fine lines without the potential side effects sometimes associated with synthetic or animal-derived variants. This plant-based hyaluronic acid is featured in formulas like our AQUANATURE Smoothing Day Cream light, designed to deliver long-lasting hydration for normal to dry skin.
Biotechnologically Derived Hyaluronic Acid
Also known as sodium hyaluronate, this form is produced from plant-based raw materials using a biotechnological fermentation process. It has excellent water-binding properties and works to hydrate the skin. You'll find this ingredient in many of our moisturizers for all skin types.
Vegan Skincare for Transparent Beauty
Natural beauty celebrates the natural world in all its richness. At ANNEMARIE BÖRLIND, we celebrate our plant-based innovations that help us create effective vegan and vegetarian solutions for your everyday skincare needs. We carefully source our ingredients and share our stories about the people and places we harvest from.
For us, vegan skincare isn't a trend. It represents an important part of our mission to deliver highly effective skincare that is ethically produced and meets the highest quality standards.
Here's our promise to you:
- No animal extracts
- No substances of animal origin
- Made without animal testing

As our founder Annemarie Lindner always said: "If I can't eat it, I won't put it on my skin."
