In a hurry? Here are our top picks:

Moisturizing is the most important step in any skincare routine. The American Academy of Dermatologists recommends using a moisturizer to trap moisture in your skin.[1]

In this list, we discuss the best vegan moisturizers suitable for all skin types. Vegan moisturizers contain plant-based oils instead of synthetic chemical oils.

In our list below we will talk about the pros and cons of the best vegan moisturizers available in the market.

Quick summary

Before you buy: 8 Questions to consider when purchasing a vegan moisturizer

It’s not just that you can go online and buy a cream or lotion with a thousand reviews. Before you buy, there’s some research and homework that goes into pick the right product.

Few formulas are suitable for all. The majority of formulations are ideal for a particular skin type. Here are a few key things you should know before you decide to buy your moisturizer.

1. Do I need to moisturize?

Moisturizers are necessary to maintain skin health and also as an adjuvant therapy against different types of dermatitis.[2] While the human body has its own natural mechanism of moisturizing and lubricating the skin via sweat and sebaceous glands, the skin loses moisture throughout the day.

If you spend your day outdoors under the sun or work in an air-conditioned office all day, your skin will likely lose moisture without you noticing it.

Additionally, other chemicals and cosmetic products can dry your skin. Medications like isotretinoin and statins also dry the skin, stripping it of its moisture.

So, yes, you do need to moisturize your skin. How much depends on your day and your skin. No salesperson can tell you what’s best since you know how you spend the day and the conditions of your skin.

2. Which type of moisturizer?

There are many types of moisturizers. There are humectants, emollients, and occlusives. Or in simpler terms, creams, lotions, or ointments. Depending on your skin type, you must choose an appropriate moisturizer.

Humectants contain glycerol, hyaluronate, propylene glycol, urea, sorbitol, and alpha-hydroxy acids like glycolic and lactic acid. They soften and exfoliate your skin. Emollients contain lanolin, mineral oil, ceramides, dimethicone, jojoba oil, and other plant-based oils.

Occlusives contain shea butter, petrolatum, beeswax, and paraffin. Have you tried any of these before? Does one make your skin oily or flaky compared to another?

3. What’s your skin type?

Dry skin types do well with ointments and occlusives. They lock in the moisture and prevent any itchiness. Thinner creams are suitable for normal skin and tend to hydrate the skin making it look dewy. The lotions are the lightest in terms of weight and are great for oily skin.

The weather matters:

In the summer months, you may want to choose a hydrating formula since you lose more moisture. In the winter, you may want a formula that is not exfoliating and drying.

Also, the time of day matters. During the day you may want a formula that is lightweight and mattifies. In the night, you may want to look for a deep acting formula that has other actions.

For acne-prone skin, you may want to use a light gel or serum formulation instead. Therefore, it is important to understand your skin type before you decide what product to use.

4. Does it have sun protection?

Dermatologists recommend using moisturizers that contain SPF (sun protecting factors) equivalent to traditional sunscreens.[3] A good one should have at least 30 SPF to shield your skin from harmful UV rays. UV rays cause melanoma of the skin. If you’re out in the sun, make sure you’re applying an SPF to every exposed part of your face, neck, and décolletage.

5. Does it have antioxidants?

Our skin is exposed to free radicals from within and without due to our food, age, chemicals, and pollutants. A good moisturizer will neutralize these free radicals that damage the skin, causing it to age and develop fine lines.

Vegan moisturizers tend to contain antioxidants from pomegranate, grape, licorice, green tea, chamomile, and the list goes on.

Which to pick:

If you need to pick a moisturizer, pick one with antioxidants that serve a dual role. These dual-acting moisturizers will revitalize your skin and add radiance, or reduce lines, or spot treat your scars depending on your skincare needs.

6. Does it work with other skin conditions?

If you have other skin conditions, you may want to look at the ingredient list carefully. For people with allergies, you might want a moisturizer that is fragrance-free and hypoallergenic. The formula must also have less than ten active ingredients.

If you have eczema, then a moisturizer that has emollients and occlusives like petroleum jelly is better. If you’re experiencing pruritic dermatitis, you may choose a formula containing a steroid-like a 1% hydrocortisone.

Acne-prone skin types may do well with formulas that have alpha-hydroxy acids as they will exfoliate and renew the skin.

7. Body moisturizer Vs. Face moisturizer?

To streamline your skincare budget, it is tempting to simply buy a body moisturizer and use it in your face. No. While it can suit some, remember that the skin on your face is different from the skin of the rest of your body. Facial skin is delicate.[4]

The thick outer stratum corneum layer in body skin is thinner on the face, especially around the eyelids, the cheek, around the mouth, and vermillion. As such, the corneocytes are smaller and have different percentages of sebaceous glands.

These smaller corneocytes can get clogged with a thick body moisturizer increasing the chances of acne and bacterial infection. Therefore, body moisturizer should not be used for the face.

8. What’s your budget?

A moisturizer is an essential step in any skincare routine. You will use it at least twice a day. Keep in mind that your moisturizer goes on your face and neck.

How much are you willing to spend on a product that you will need all season long? Your budget will affect your choice as there are luxury, premium vegan moisturizers on our list, and affordable choices as well.

Using a vegan moisturizer means your infusing hydration with products from the earth rather than from animals. It is a small price to pay, but if it makes life for the animals easier, then why not.

The 5 best vegan-friendly moisturizers

Unique features:

• Light, non-greasy formula
• Hypoallergenic
• Non-comedogenic, and cruelty-free

The best moisturizer for:

People of all skin types, looking for a great overall natural and organic moisturizer.

Notable ingredients:

Jojoba, calendula, clary sage

Overview:

ZELEN Life praises itself for being one of the most natural skincare brands out there. And its moisturizer is evidence of that. The ZELEN Life Moisturizer will do precisely, what it says, infuse life in your skin. It is a handmade moisturizer formulated with organic plant-based ingredients such as jojoba, calendula, and clary sage.

Without further ado, let’s talk a bit about its formulation.

Jojoba is a carrier oil and is one of the few plant species whose wax esters closely resemble the skin’s sebum.[5] As a result, it has a moisturizing effect on the skin while balancing excess oil, which is the main reason for acne breakouts and other conditions. It assists in combating aging effects – such as wrinkles and fine lines – as it is rich in antioxidants and fatty acids. Thus, accelerating the skin’s healing process.

Calendula oil is derived from marigold flowers. It’s a natural antimicrobial and an antiseptic. This helps to reduce redness and inflammation while promoting healing of the skin. A study back in 2012 found that it is also very effective in protecting the skin from UV radiations.[8]

Clary sage also has anti-inflammatory and antibacterial properties. It’s known to soothe the skin and prevent it from irritations. It also has an aroma that is regarded as effective in reducing stress and depression levels.[9, 10]

Like all ZELEN Life’s products, this moisturizer doesn’t contain parabens, sulfates, or other harmful synthetic chemicals. It is also alcohol-free, silicone-free, and cruelty-free.

Now that we examined its formulation, let’s discuss its texture and application.

It has a light and non-greasy texture that glides easily to the skin. It is quickly absorbed, providing hydration and leaving your skin refreshed, smooth, and protected all day. You will definitely love how calm and smooth it leaves the skin after application.

What makes the application easier is its luxurious bottle design. It features an airless pump that gives you the right amount, preventing you from overapplication that can often damage your skin. Overapplication can weaken the skin’s barrier function. Additionally, the fact that the bottle is airless prevents the cream from contamination. This reduces the chances of bacterial overgrowth which often leads to acne breakouts and pimples.

Overall, the application with this moisturizer was a joy. Now, let’s discuss its scent.

As said previously, it contains ingredients known for its aromatherapy qualities, such as clary sage, geranium, etc. It doesn’t contain any artificial fragrance, but it contains an aroma from its natural and organic formulation. Its scent is light and has a wonderful floral, citrusy character that leaves you wanting more. It definitely reflects the premium nature of this product and the whole premium routine that ZELEN Life yearns to promote.

However, it’s not all sunshine and roses. While this moisturizer provides some form of natural sun protection due to its inclusion of calendula oil, you should also use a separate sunscreen that contains an SPF.

While this moisturizer provides great antiaging action, if you have mature skin, consider Juice Beauty Anti-Wrinkle Moisturizer. It is a stem cellular cream specifically designed to reduce wrinkles, as it contains a plethora of well-known ingredients that fight aging effects, such as shea butter, vitamin C, and resveratrol (from grapes).

Things to think about:

Bottom line:

This is a wonderful vegan moisturizer that works for all skin types.

Unique features:

• Mattifying formula
• Anti-wrinkle
• Cruelty-free

The best moisturizer for:

Aging and mature skin.

Notable ingredients:

Grape juice (resveratrol), jojoba oil, vitamin C, fruit stem cells (apple, lemon, grape)

Overview

Juice’s Beauty Stem Cellular Anti-Wrinkle Moisturizer is formulated using a mixture of fruit stem cells, vitamin C, resveratrol-rich grape juice, and jojoba, creating a powerful cream that reduces the signs of aging.

Let’s take a closer look at these ingredients.

The mixture of fruit stem cells included in its formulation comes from organic apple buds, grape buds, and lemon bark. Plant and fruit stem cells are very similar to human cells in their qualities to self-repair. Some plant stem cells are even found to have more antioxidants than human cells. [11] These make them great inclusion in any antiaging cream. Let’s explain in more detail.

Antioxidants are molecules that fight and prevent damage to our skin. They have many qualities, some of which are:

• They prevent sun damage.
• They brighten the skin, bringing back its natural color.
• They help the skin repair itself by stimulating collagen production.
• They help reduce signs of aging such as wrinkles, fine lines, and loose skin due to their collagen-boosting and hydrating qualities.

Vitamin C, for example, that is also present in the formulation has great antioxidant properties. As such, also has all of the above qualities.

Grape juice is another great ingredient that is resveratrol rich. Research has shown that resveratrol can assist fight free radicals.[6] It neutralizes any oxidative stress and protects the skin from damage. This slows skin aging while also keeping it looking youthful.

Furthermore, the resveratrol in grapes is rich in vitamins and alpha-hydroxy acid (AHA). Vitamins are rich in antioxidants and anti-inflammatories which, stimulate collagen production and help keep the skin tight and wrinkle-free. As an AHA, it also removes dead skin cells and dirt, unclogging the pores. This helps prevent the development of blemishes.

Jojoba oil hydrates the skin while balancing excess oil production that also often leads to acne. It is also a great antiaging ingredient.

Cream texture and application:

The texture of this cream is surprisingly rich but lightweight and doesn’t leave any greasy residue behind. It doesn’t feel heavy upon application and definitely leaves the skin calm and more elastic.

While it will not provide any amazing short-term antiaging effects, if you are patient you will definitely notice a reduction in the appearance of wrinkles. Allow one to three months of daily use. In the long run, I am confident you will notice wrinkles to be less prominent and your skin tone brighter.

In terms of hydration, it does a decent job. But if you have very dry skin you might find it lacks that intense moisture you require. In that case, consider the ZELEN Life Moisturizer (oil-based moisturizer). It uses a mixture of natural ingredients and essential oils which, provide greater hydration and moisture-locking – sunflower, jojoba, sweet almond, geranium, cocoa butter, etc.

But, you must be wondering… what about its scent?

Well, to be honest, I found its aroma a bit strong. While it is not unpleasant, it might feel a bit heavy for people who are sensitive to scents. If you are looking for moisturizers with lighter scents, consider other ones on our list, such as  the ZELEN Life Moisturizer, Boscia’s Cactus Moisturizer, or Boscia’s Green Tea Oil-Free Moisturizer.

As for the jar design, it contains a lot of plastic for such a small jar and doesn’t give the premium feel that should be expected given its expensive price point. Nevertheless, it is functional and protects and cream from contamination.

The good:

Things to think about:

Bottom line:

This moisturizer works wonders for fine lines and visibly tightens the skin.

Unique features:

• Gel formula to nourish and hydrate
• Gluten-free, vegan, and cruelty-free
• Cactus and aloe vera to soothe and repair damaged skin

The best moisturizer for:

Oily skin.

Notable ingredients:

Cactus flower extract, coccinia indica fruit extract, turmeric root extract, aloe vera

Overview:

Boscia’s Cactus Water Moisturizer is a moisturizer aimed at oily skin. It has a vegan formulation that consists of cactus flower extract, coccinia indica fruit extract, turmeric root extract, and aloe vera.

Let’s explain more about its ingredients:

As its name suggests, its key ingredient is the cactus flower extract (a.k.a. ”Queen of the Night Cactus”). But what’s so special about it?

It is a succulent plant from Mexico that adapts to extremely warm weather conditions and recovers from severe dehydration. This makes it ideal for rejuvenating, soothing, and rehydrating the skin.

It is rich in linoleic acid, which helps reduce the accumulation of excess oil on the skin. This means it removes unwanted sebum that clogs the pores, providing a clearer complexion, free of blemishes and irritations. It is also rich in anti-inflammatory and antiseptic properties, minimizing the effects of acne and redness. It helps maintain the moisture in the skin even in extreme temperatures.

Additionally, the cactus is very rich in vitamin E, which is a vitamin that assists with reducing the signs of aging, such as wrinkles, and helps prevent sagging and loose skin.

Coccinia indica fruit extract shields the skin from imbalances on its surface and protects from free radicals. This prevents cell damage and irritations. Turmeric root extract brings back the natural glow of the skin. It is rich in anti-inflammatory properties and is proven to clean up the skin from acne breakouts and scarring.

Lastly, aloe vera is a plant that also retains moisture in the skin.[7] It is considered a multipurpose ingredient as it can help with most skin conditions due to its hydrating, antioxidant, antiseptic, and anti-inflammatory qualities. It helps treat various skin conditions such as acne, eczema, etc. It also creates a protective barrier on the skin surface that protects it from damaging environmental stressors such as UV radiation. It provides a cooling effect which, along with its above qualities, makes it very effective in treating sunburns and rashes.

The texture of the moisturizer is gel-like and quite lightweight. But even though it is fast-absorbing, it can be a little sticky or start to peel when too much is applied. That said, it delivers solid moisturization without being thick, which makes it great for using under makeup.

Upon application, use the little spatula that comes with it to avoid excessive application. It glides easily onto the skin and makes your skin feel smooth.

However, there are some drawbacks. If you have dry skin, then you might find this moisturizer lacking in terms of hydration. If that is the case, then consider the ZELEN Life Moisturizer. On the other hand, if you have a combination skin type, consider AHAVA Essential Day Moisturizer. It doesn’t contain any essential oils, but it does include glycerin and dead sea water, which provide great hydration.

But, there’s more! Let’s discuss its scent.

Its scent is very very light. So far that I’d say it is unscented. It doesn’t contain any artificial fragrances, making it perfect for people who are easily irritated, or people who don’t want their moisturizer interfering with their fragrance/cologne.

As for the jar design, I love its minimalistic, premium, and green ”all-natural” look. However, one thing I would have liked to change is that it is not airless (such as ZELEN Life and Boscia Green Tea Moisturizers). This risks contaminating the gel with environmental stressors such as oxidation, or bacteria from your hand, making the antioxidant content less effective.

The good:

Things to think about:

Bottom line:

A great moisturizer for oily skin that hydrates and balances excess oil.

---

Unique features:

• Light creamy formula
• Soothes and hydrates the skin
• Mineral-rich

The best moisturizer for:

Combination skin.

Notable ingredients:

Dead sea water, aloe vera, amino acids, vitamin E

Overview:

It might be difficult to figure out which moisturizers will keep your skin looking hydrated without clogging your pores and causing breakouts. Especially if you have a combination skin type. AHAVA Essential Day Moisturizer is a very special product that might be the one you are looking for as it contains a pretty unique formulation.

Its main ingredients are dead sea water, aloe vera, amino acids, and vitamin E.

Dead sea water might not be as popular as aloe vera when it comes to skincare formulations, but it is a very beneficial ingredient. Let me explain more:

Dead sea water is great for treating conditions such as psoriasis, as it contains particularly high concentrations of salt, minerals, and other compounds that relieve pain and reduce inflammation. [12] Another study has also proven that, is also great for treating inflammatory conditions such as acne. This is because it is rich in antimicrobial and antibacterial properties that help reduce the appearance of pimples and blemishes. [13]

Aloe vera, as said previously, is known for its soothing and hydration locking properties. It is rich in antioxidants, anti-inflammatory, and antibacterial properties that help, not only to keep the skin healthy but also to reduce conditions such as eczema, sunburns, acne, etc. It forms a protective barrier that protects from damage from free radicals.

Amino acids are very important if you want healthy skin. They are the building blocks for proteins like collagen, which contribute to the supple and smooth texture of the skin. It has been proven that amino acids are very effective in reducing the appearance of signs of aging, and also in maintaining and improving the skin’s elasticity.

Vitamin E is also rich in antioxidants and anti-inflammatory agents. As we discussed, it is a vitamin that has been proven to prevent aging effects such as wrinkles and fine lines. It is also particularly effective in treating dark patches i.e. melasma.

Its texture is quite lightweight, non-greasy, and easily absorbed. This makes it suitable for use with or without makeup. It deeply nourishes and softens the skin, making it feel revived and fresh. Upon application, just a dime amount is enough to provide all of its benefits.

As for the packaging and jar design, it looks premium and feels premium in hand. However, as it is a jar, this is another case where the cream is prone to contamination. Not only from your hands but also from environmental bacteria and substances. Always make sure to use a spatula to take it out of the jar and not your hands.

But there’s more. The scent:

Another thing to keep in mind is that this moisturizer is fragranced. So, if you are easily irritated by artificial fragrances, make sure to do a topical test before purchasing it. Its aroma, however, is balanced and by no means overpowering. It has a slightly perfumy distinct scent that I think is pleasant.

If you are looking for a moisturizer that doesn’t have any artificial fragrance in its formulation and is suitable for combination skin, consider the ZELEN Life Moisturizer or Boscia’s Cactus Water Moisturizer. ZELEN Life’s has a wonderful light aroma that comes from its natural formulation, while Boscia Cactus Water Moisturizer is basically unscented – it has no distinctive scent.

The good:

Things to think about:

Bottom line:

This is a good moisturizer for combination skin and those looking for that dewy finish.

---

Unique features:

• Lightweight moisturizer
• Reduces redness
• Diminishes breakouts and acne
• Provides UV protection

The best moisturizer for:

Those with oily skin due to its mattifying effect.

Notable ingredients:

Japanese green tea, burdock root, marine complex

Overview:

The Boscia Oil-Free Daily Moisturizer is an all-natural moisturizer that is also vegan. Its main ingredients are Japanese green tea, burdock, and marine complex.

Japanese green tea is an ingredient that provides a plethora of benefits if applied topically on the skin. First of all, it is rich in vitamins C, B2, and E, which assist in collagen production and a youthful, healthier appearance. It hydrates and softens the skin while also bringing back its natural glow.

Additionally, it is very effective in treating skin conditions, such as acne, redness, puffiness, and swelling. It is very rich in anti-inflammatory and antibacterial agents due to its high content of polyphenols and catechins. These properties calm the irritated skin, balance excess oil that can clog pores and aggregate acne, and fight infections by controlling bacterial growth.

Burdock root is a potent antioxidant that protects the damage to the skin from environmental stressors and free radicals. It also helps absorb excess sebum while providing a matte look, making your skin perfect for makeup application. It is also rich in antibacterial and antiseptic properties.

The marine complex is a blend of algae extracts such as laminaria saccharina, silica, etc., that is designed to enhance the hydration and elasticity of the skin while preventing premature aging and damage from UV radiation.

Texture and application:

It has a lightweight texture that hydrates the skin without being excessive, which makes it suitable for oily skin types. If you have dry skin, you might find yourself needing to apply more than once to keep the hydration levels high. It soothes the skin and balances out sebum, leaving a smooth and refreshed sensation.

If you are a regular makeup user, you will love this moisturizer. This is because green tea and burdock extract prevent excessive ‘shine’ because they regulate oil and provide a matte finish. This makes it perfect for use under makeup.

As for the scent, it has a very light flowery smell, that comes from its natural ingredients and not from artificial fragrance. It is refreshing and goes away within seconds.

Lastly, the bottle design looks luxurious, playful, and minimalistic at the same time, which most people like. The pump makes the application easier and provides a contamination-free cream, which reduces bacteria and acne.

The good:

Things to think about:

Bottom line:

This is an excellent moisturizer for those with oily skin and acne breakouts. It mattifies and controls oils.

The best vegan moisturizer is also not the most expensive. We considered the budget. Some of the ingredients that go into making these vegan moisturizers are imported and, therefore, costly. Yet, we tried to find something for every price range.

We also considered associated conditions. For those who have acne, eczema, fine lines, and dermatitis, we have carefully reviewed the ingredients to make sure your moisturizer addresses these complaints.

This gives you a dual-acting formula that not just hydrates but also soothes, heals, repairs, brightens, firms, and nourishes your skin.

Lastly, we considered additional benefits. Sun protection, antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant properties in each moisturizer on our list so that you can see multiple effects from a single application. There’s more to moisturizer than just hydration, and we aimed to show you that.

Frequently asked questions

At what age should I start using a moisturizer?

While skin types vary, there’s no hard and fast rule that moisturizers must begin at a particular age. If you live in an area where sun exposure and the subsequent damage are imminent, you must start using a moisturizer early. Signs of skin damage start to appear by the age of twenty, and you can begin a skincare routine then.

When should I use moisturizer?

Moisturizer is the third step in a skincare routine usually. After cleansing and toning your skin, apply a moisturizer while the skin is slightly damp. Apply the moisturizer in a single layer to face, neck, and décolletage in the morning and before sleeping at night.

How will a moisturizer fit into my skincare routine?

We understand you have other skincare staples for your skin. Maybe it’s a serum or a favorite sunscreen that you apply religiously. It could be doubled as a moisturizer and vice versa. Many moisturizers today contain ingredients that are dual-acting.

Go through your skincare routine and read the first ten ingredients on all the product labels. See how different or similar they are. You might already be using a few products that are doubling over.

Maybe you can cut out a few and choose a moisturizer that does some heavy lifting in other areas of skincare too.

What else do I need to use with my moisturizer?

A moisturizer is part of a skincare routine—a complete regimen. Use a suitable cleanser that locks in the moisture. Tone your skin. A toner prepares your skin so that it can soak up any moisturize or any other skin treatment that follows. And then apply your face cream.

If it does not have SPF, use a sunscreen. If you need to spot correct or have blemishes, then use your spot reduction gel or serum.

How should moisturizer be applied to achieve the best results?

The best time to apply a moisturizer is when the skin is still damp. After your skin is cleansed with a gentle cleanser, pat your face and then apply a layer of moisturizer to lock in the moisture. Don’t rub or massage into the skin.

Stay hydrated, avoid air conditioning, and eat a diet rich in essential nutrients like vitamins and essential fatty acids that are necessary for healthy skin. Avoiding smoking and the sun. Wear protective clothing and sunscreen when you’re outside.

When should I moisturize?

After you have found the right moisturizer, your dream formula, do a patch skin test. Moisturize every day to prevent dry skin and even delay wrinkles. Your skin will lap up the moisturizer and appear plumper. Irrespective of the weather, you will need to add moisture to your skin.

During summer, you lose a lot of fluids and get dehydrated. During the winter, the dryness may exacerbate your skin conditions. So, pick a different one for each season but apply it at least twice a day to see any difference.

Conclusion

The best vegan moisturizer makes your skin supple and radiant without any chemicals or synthetics.

Using nature’s best ingredients will give you healthy skin. You don’t need to follow a complicated, product-packed routine to look your best.
