Just for You
Veganism is more than a trendy trend or a plant-based diet. It’s even entered the realms of fashion and beauty. Vegan-friendly skincare is something Gen Zers are looking for when they shop for beauty products.
Why go vegan for skincare? Plant-based ingredients and extracts can provide more vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants to nourish your skin. Many of them also contain superfood actives, which can have a positive impact on our skin.
At the same time, vegan-friendly skincare tend to have shorter ingredient lists – fewer ingredients mean less risk of causing skin irritation. Another bonus? They’re cruelty-free and sustainably made. In short, they’re not only good for your skin, but also good for the environment too.
Sigi Skin: Championing the Vegan Beauty Cause
You don’t have to look very far to get effective vegan-friendly skincare. Sigi Skin, a Singaporean homegrown brand, has gone 100% vegan in February 2021. This means that it has eliminated animal-derived ingredients.
The brand offers a range of superfood-infused skincare products that are highly effective and help skin stay happy, healthy, and glowing. And because Singapore women are busy urbanites, Sigi Skin’s products are designed to be a multi-purpose and fuss-free, allowing you to simplify your skincare routine with ease.
You might not think that you’re making a big difference in opting for a vegan-friendly skincare option. Sigi Skin has seen a significant change in their skincare products.
Sigi Skin also ensures that their products are environmentally friendly made, preferring to use renewable ingredients and manufacturing methods to reduce the brand’s carbon footprint. The products are packaged in zero-waste packaging using recycled paper and soyink. Eco-conscious beauty lovers can also request refills if their favorite Sigi Skin products run out.
The brand is also looking to partner with 1% For the Planet, an organization that receives one percent of its annual sales or salary from international members. This will allow it to support environmental causes.
An Eco-Friendly Solution for Skin
Did you know that Sigi Skin’s award-winning Idyllic Fields Day-Time Moisturiser (that earned the “Best Moisturiser For Sensitive Skin” title at this year’s Her World Beauty Awards) has a waterless formula, which in turn helps to reduce the use of this precious natural resource?
This eco-conscious hydrator works hard to soothe the skin, infuse it with moisture, and strengthen the skin barrier through a combination of nourishing actives. The result is healthy, happy skin.
The secret to its success is the use of colloidal oatmeal extracts, which are 71.9 percent to calm inflammation. This is especially important for sensitive or eczema prone skin. It also balances the skin’s microbiome, keeping it healthy. It’s also enriched with troxerutin (from the Japanese pagoda tree), polyglutamic acid (from soybeans) and matcha extracts to relieve dryness, firm and protect the skin, while keeping acne breakouts at bay.
Additionally, for each bottle sold, five per cent of the proceeds are donated to an animal shelter, in memory of founder Xenia Wong’s golden retriever Dino who passed in 2020.
Sigi Skin was able to raise more than $5,000 for Causes For Animals by this initiative in 2021. The campaign will continue in 2022. The money will be donated by Voices For Animals to aid their animal rescue efforts. Throughout the year, Sigi Skin will be donating to the animal welfare organisation, Dog Shelter Volunteer & Donation Singapore (SOSD).
Our Tester Says…
“We’re fans of the airless pump packaging as it not only kept the product ‘fresh’ but also hygienic. The gel-cream was soft and citrus-scented, and spread easily. It was also surprisingly moisturizing despite its light texture.
We tried it when our skin was irritated and inflamed, and was glad that it didn’t aggravate the situation. There was no stinging, oiliness, or breakouts. It really helped to soothe our sensitive skin, striking a good balance between moisturising and comforting.”
