Animal rights charity PETA has announced the winners of its 2018 Vegan Fitness Awards, with two Natura-owned brands taking the top spots.

Aesop was awarded the best vegan and cruelty-free deodorant accolade, with PETA stating, “Keeping you fresh during your workout, this unisex deodorant from stylish Australian brand Aesop is made with a blend of luxurious essential oils – and it’s completely free of aluminium, animal-derived ingredients, and cruelty.”

Meanwhile The Body Shop’s Tea Tree Skin Clearing Facial Wipes were named as the best Vegan and Cruelty-Free Cleansing Wipes, with Le Labo Hinoki Shampoo, Conditioner, and Shower Gel coming out as the best Vegan and Cruelty-Free Sports Bag Essentials.

According to PETA, ‘The PETA Vegan Fitness Awards celebrate the products, athletes, and influencers at the top of their game.’ And with 3.5 million British consumers now being vegan, according to a comparethemarket.com survey, the rise and rise of vegan beauty brands is ongoing.
