At first, going vegan can be hard and overwhelming. There are so many different products and different brands and you don't know which ones are good or if they're just labeling their products as "good." It's scary, I know. I've said for a while that I was going to go vegan but I would always get so overwhelmed from reading all the labels and trying to find products that were both good and still met my needs. So even if you aren't wanting to completely make that jump into the vegan lifestyle, here are 11 plant-based, vegan products that everyone needs to have in their life!
1. Deodorant
Some studies have been released with regard to the linkage of antiperspirants and deodorant to breast cancer and Alzheimer's. While some of these results remain inconclusive, I've been using a plant-based deodorant for about six months now and I highly recommend it!
