Yes — Sphagnum Botanicals Peat Mud Shampoo is both vegan-friendly and cruelty-free. That means it contains no animal-derived ingredients and has never been tested on animals. It’s a scalp care solution you can feel good about using, not just for your hair and skin, but also for the planet.
What makes it vegan?
A vegan shampoo is one that does not include any animal by-products. Instead, it relies on plant-based and mineral ingredients.
Our formula combines:
Salicylic acid (a clinically recognized ingredient for scalp care)
Peat extract (rich in minerals, soothing and balancing for the scalp)
Menthol (for that cooling, fresh sensation)
All ingredients are carefully selected to be effective, gentle, and plant-friendly — with no hidden animal derivatives.
What does cruelty-free mean?
Cruelty-free means the product has not been tested on animals at any stage of development. At Sphagnum Botanicals, we believe that caring for your scalp should never come at the expense of animal welfare. That’s why our products are never tested on animals, and we only work with suppliers who follow the same standard.
Why it matters?
Choosing a vegan and cruelty-free shampoo isn’t just about personal ethics — it’s also about knowing that the formula is designed with natural, gentle care in mind. This makes it a safe choice for people with sensitive scalps, psoriasis, or dandruff who want results without harsh chemicals or questionable testing practices.
