National Vegan Lipstick Day is celebrated on February 28 and focuses on promoting vegan lipstick, which is designed for individuals who prefer products that do not harm animals or contain animal-derived ingredients. This day was founded by the U.S. makeup brand CakeLipps to raise awareness about the importance of choosing vegan cosmetics and to honor Grandma Bert, a founding member of the company. The celebration includes educating the public about vegan lipstick and its benefits, as well as recognizing the advancements in the makeup industry towards cruelty-free products. Organizations like Cruelty Free International oversee the certification of companies that produce cosmetics without animal testing, allowing them to display the leaping bunny logo on their products. National Vegan Lipstick Day serves as a reminder of the long history of makeup and its evolution towards more ethical practices.
