Nanah México is the first zero-waste personal care brand to receive the V-Label vegan certification in Latin America.
The V-Label Seal is a Swiss certification established in 1996, globally recognized as a mark that ensures no animal-based products are involved, either in the composition or during the production process.
In the cosmetic industry, plant-based and animal-based ingredients often share identical names, making it difficult to distinguish their origin.
Additionally, some animal-derived additives used in production are not listed on product labels.
The V-Label certification guarantees that the product has undergone a rigorous inspection of its composition during both development and production.
Examples of non-vegan ingredients commonly found in cosmetics include:
- Squalene: Derived from shark liver.
- Lanolin: Fat from sheep's wool.
- Glycerin: Fat from pigs or cows.
- Royal Jelly: Produced by bees.
- Hyaluronic Acid: Extracted from rooster combs.
