why cruelty free is important to us

Cruelty-free beauty products are products that have not been tested on animals at any stage of production. The importance of these products is rooted in the ethical treatment of animals and the preservation of our environment. Here at Sweet Sprig no product or ingredient is tested on animals and all our products are 100% vegan.

Animal testing involves the use of animals to test the safety and effectiveness of products. This process can cause pain, distress, and even death to the animals involved. By choosing cruelty-free products, you are taking a stand against animal testing and supporting companies that prioritize ethical and sustainable practices.

Cruelty-free products are also better for the environment. Animal testing often requires the use of harsh chemicals and can result in the release of pollutants into our ecosystem. By using cruelty-free products, we can reduce our impact on the environment and promote sustainable practices.
​
Choosing cruelty-free beauty products is an important step towards a more ethical and sustainable future. By supporting companies, like ours that prioritize these values, we can create a better world for ourselves and for future generations.

New York State has recently passed the New York Cruelty Free Cosmetics Act, a law that prohibits the manufacture sale of cosmetic and personal care products that have been tested on animals. This law aims to promote cruelty-free practices and protect animal welfare.

Transitioning to green beauty can seem overwhelming, but there are plenty of resources available to help you make the switch. Here are some of the best:
  1. EWG Skin Deep Database - This online database rates over 70,000 products based on their ingredients and their potential health hazards. Use it to research the products you currently use and find safer alternatives.
  2. Think Dirty App - This app allows you to scan the barcode of a beauty product and receive a rating based on the toxicity of its ingredients. It also suggests cleaner alternatives.
  3. Sweet Sprig- Our line of soaps, skincare, and candles use eco-friendly ingredients that are all thoughtfully researched.
  4. Green Beauty Bloggers - Follow green beauty bloggers like The Green Product Junkie and The Organic Bunny for product reviews, ingredient breakdowns, and tips for transitioning to a non-toxic beauty routine.​
  5. "Not So Pretty" four part documentary on HBO Max which explores the "ugly" side of some of the most popular beauty industries. 
Making the switch to green beauty can take time and effort, but with these resources, it can be a much smoother transition.

Exfoliating your skin is essential for achieving healthy, glowing skin. It can help to remove dead skin cells, reduce the appearance of wrinkles, and unclog pores, allowing your skin to breathe. In this blog post, we’ll take a closer look at why exfoliating is so important and how you can incorporate it into your daily skincare routine.
What Is Exfoliating?
Exfoliating is the process of removing dead skin cells from the surface of your skin. This can be done using one of our exfoliating soaps. Exfoliating helps to reveal the newer, healthier skin cells beneath the surface and can help to reduce the appearance of wrinkles, age spots, and other signs of aging.
Why Is Exfoliating Important?
Exfoliating helps to remove the buildup of dead skin cells, dirt, and oil that can accumulate on the surface of your skin. This buildup can cause skin to look dull, rough, and dry. Exfoliating helps to keep your skin looking vibrant and healthy. It can also help to unclog pores and prevent breakouts.
In addition to removing dead skin cells, exfoliating can help your skin to absorb more of the skincare products you use, such as moisturizers. By using an exfoliating soap you can remove the layer of dead skin cells, allowing your skin to absorb the product more effectively.
How Often Should You Exfoliate?
How often you should exfoliate will depend on your skin type. Generally, it’s recommended that you exfoliate once or twice a week. However, if you have sensitive skin, you may want to limit exfoliating to once a week.
When exfoliating, it is important to be gentle. Use a light touch and avoid harsh scrubbing motions.
Incorporating Exfoliating Into Your Skincare Routine
Exfoliating is an important part of any skincare routine. You can incorporate exfoliating into your routine by using an exfoliating soap once or twice a week. Sweet Sprig creates many varieties of soap with varying exfoliants. Those include: Coconut Grapefruit, Electric City, Lemon Poppyseed, Mohawk Sunset, Mountain Blueberry, Oatmeal Shea Butter, Patchouli Orange
