The Truth About Vegan Beauty, Performance & Client Loyalty
Today’s clients care deeply about what goes on their lashes and brows, and as a salon owner, the products you choose speak volumes about your values and your standards. At Elleebana, ethical beauty and high performance go hand in hand, which is why every Elleebana product is proudly cruelty-free and has never been tested on animals, alongside a carefully curated range of vegan-friendly formulas designed to deliver exceptional professional results.
But vegan beauty isn’t just a trend, it’s a movement rooted in innovation, transparency, and performance. Let’s unpack why vegan products have become so in demand, and why they’re not just good ethically, but great for your business.
Why Did Vegan Beauty Become Such a Global Movement?
Vegan beauty didn’t begin as a marketing angle, it emerged from a growing demand for safer formulations, ethical sourcing, and smarter science.
As consumers became more ingredient-aware, many began questioning:
- Why animal-derived ingredients were being used when plant-based alternatives could perform just as well (or better)
- How animal testing aligned with modern values
- Whether traditional formulations were truly the best option for long-term hair and skin health
This shift pushed brands to invest in advanced cosmetic chemistry, creating formulas that prioritise performance without animal-derived inputs, and the result is a new generation of products that are cleaner, smarter, and more intentional.
Why Is Vegan Beauty So In Demand Right Now?
Because today’s clients are informed, and they’re asking questions.
Clients want:
- Ethical choices
- Transparency
- Products that align with their values
- Services that don’t compromise results
Vegan-friendly treatments have become a trust signal. They reassure clients that your salon is modern, educated, and forward-thinking, especially younger and repeat clientele who actively seek brands aligned with sustainability and animal welfare.
And importantly? Vegan no longer equals “gentle but ineffective.” Science has changed the game.
Why Should I Stock Vegan Products in My Salon?
Because they’re not just ethical — they’re commercially smart.
Stocking vegan-friendly, cruelty-free products allows you to:
- Appeal to a wider client base
- Reduce the risk of sensitivity concerns
- Offer premium, values-led services
- Position your salon as progressive and professional
But most importantly, they support animal welfare and ethical practices, while still prioritising what truly drives salon success: long-term hair health, exceptional results, happier clients, and stronger retention.
Do Vegan Products Perform as Well as Non-Vegan Products?
Short answer? Yes — and in many cases, better.
Traditional formulations often rely on animal-derived keratin, but modern cosmetic science has proven that plant-based keratin alternatives and bio-mimetic peptides can outperform older ingredients when it comes to penetration, flexibility, and hair strength.
Elleebana’s vegan range isn’t about removing ingredients — it’s about replacing them with smarter ones.
“If There’s No Keratin, Will My Results Still Be as Good?”
This is one of the biggest concerns we hear, and the answer is a confident yes.
Take Helyx Hybrid Dye, for example — a world-first brow dye infused with Kera-Veg 18, a plant-based keratin alternative clinically shown to:
- Nourish and hydrate hair
- Strengthen brow hairs by up to 20% during a single treatment
Combined with amino acids Serine, Threonine and Arginine, Helyx actively supports hair restoration, making it ideal post-lamination or chemical services.
This isn’t “less than keratin” — it’s next-generation hair science.
How Does Elleebana Support Hair Health During Chemical Services?
One of the standout innovations in the vegan range is Re-GEN Next Gen 2.0 — a plant-based alternative to traditional keratin treatments.
Its advanced formulation includes:
- Myristoyl Pentapeptide-17
- Biotinoyl Tripeptide-1
- A proprietary blend of amino acids: Serine, Threonine & Arginine
Together, these ingredients help:
- Stimulate keratin production
- Strengthen and lengthen lashes and brows
- Improve volume and elasticity
Clinical trials have shown:
- 21% increase in hair strength
- 18% improvement in elasticity after chemical treatments
That’s real data, and real reassurance for both artists and clients.

By prioritising hair integrity, Elleeplex Profusion helps ensure lashes and brows not only look incredible on the day, but continue to feel healthy between appointments.
Will Clients Keep Coming Back If I Use Vegan Products?
This is the real question, and the answer is yes, when results are exceptional.
Clients don’t rebook because a product is vegan.
They rebook because:
- Their lashes feel healthy
- Their brows look better for longer
- Their hair doesn’t feel compromised
- They trust your expertise
Vegan-friendly formulations that actively strengthen and protect the hair lead to better retention, improved grow-out, and more consistent results, which directly impacts client satisfaction and repeat bookings.
Ethics might get them in the door, but performance keeps them coming back.
