Vegan and Cruelty-Free Fragrances: Why They Matter in 2025

The world is shifting towards more ethical, sustainable choices, and the fragrance industry is no exception. Consumers are no longer satisfied with luxurious scents alone—they want to know their products align with their values. Vegan and cruelty-free fragrances are leading the charge, and NÉIA is proud to be part of this important movement.


What Does Vegan and Cruelty-Free Mean in Fragrance?

  • Vegan Fragrance: A vegan fragrance contains no animal-derived ingredients. Many traditional perfumes use animal products like ambergris (from whales) or civet musk (from civet cats). Vegan fragrances eliminate these ingredients while maintaining luxury and complexity.

  • Cruelty-Free Fragrance: A cruelty-free fragrance means no animal testing is conducted at any stage of product development. This ensures that your chosen scent is as kind to animals as it is to you.

At NÉIA, all our perfume oils are 100% vegan and cruelty-free. Our commitment extends beyond fragrance to encompass our entire production process, ensuring ethical beauty is at the heart of everything we do.


Why Vegan and Cruelty-Free Fragrances Matter

  1. Ethical Choices: Supporting vegan and cruelty-free brands aligns with a global movement toward more humane practices.
  2. Healthier Ingredients: Vegan fragrances often use plant-based ingredients, reducing the likelihood of allergens and irritants.
  3. Sustainability: Animal-derived products can have a significant environmental impact. Choosing vegan fragrances helps reduce your ecological footprint.
  4. Transparency: Ethical brands like NÉIA are transparent about their sourcing and processes, building trust with conscious consumers.
