In the past, it may have been challenging to get your hands on vegan accessories that were stylish. But this is no longer the case. Just because you follow a plant-based lifestyle, it doesn’t mean you can’t rock some eco-friendly accessories this summer. These days, there are plenty of brands offering vegan products that look and feel great.

Cruelty-free accessories are making an impact and are here to stay. Celebrities like Ellen DeGeneres, Olivia Wilde, and Anne Hathaway have even sported them at glamorous red-carpet events. Whether you’re in the market for budget-friendly or luxury options, you’re bound to find what you’re looking for.

For an item to be vegan, it needs to be completely free of animal-derived products like leather, silk, wool, bone, feathers or fur. The options mentioned below contain none of these products and are completely cruelty-free. Here are five ways to veganize your accessories this summer.

1. Cruelty-Free Sunscreens

Sunology SPF50 Body Sunscreen is a great vegan option that protects your skin and keeps it moisturized. The formula contains essential oils and antioxidants to keep you looking youthful. If you’re on a budget, Alba Botanica is another excellent brand. It is gluten-free, biodegradable, and contains skin-healing aloe vera extracts.

If you’re looking for a more luxurious option, consider the Heavenly Bamboo Towels by Nandina. They are made from a combination of organic cotton and bamboo, giving them a silky, soft feel.

3. Reusable Water Bottles

Earth Lust is a brand that makes beautiful stainless steel water bottles. BPA-free plastic caps keep them spill proof, and they come in an array of designs. If you’d prefer to carry your liquids in a glass bottle, the Love Bottle is a great option. The designs are customizable, and you can choose from a ceramic, silicone, or stainless steel lid.
