WHAT'S NEW: VEGAN PRODUCTS
What: Though organic products have been a staple of the promotional products industry for years, vegan products are only starting to make their way into health and wellness programs. Whitney explained the difference between organic and vegan by describing the difference between vegetarianism and veganism. "The best example I can give to illustrate the difference [is] that while a vegetarian does not eat beef, they do consume milk. A vegan, however, will not even consume the milk because it is produced by cows," she said. As for how this impacts promotional wellness products, Whitney noted that the most important factor is beeswax. "In relation to personal care products, a vegan will choose not to use anything containing ingredients such as goat's milk, sheep's milk, beeswax, lanolin and other animal products that are often used in lotions, soaps and lip balm. So while our lip balm products have been natural and organic for many years, they were not vegan as they contained beeswax."
