The benefits of personal care and caring for the planet often overlap — drinking water instead of manufactured beverages, buying clothing made from natural fibers and using clean, cruelty-free beauty products. In fact, the vegan cosmetic market is exploding as more and more consumers choose to do the right thing for their bodies and the planet.
With this in mind, End of Tenancy London set out to get into the minds of beauty consumers through Instagram. Starting with a list of 23 popular vegan beauty brands, the team created a chart of the ‘Most Instagrammable’ options based on the number of people Insta-posting.

Methodology
In researching this topic, the team sourced the 23 companies from a PETA-vetted list of vegan and cruelty-free suppliers. Each brand was then hand-entered into Instagram, and the corresponding hashtags were recorded. The team says, “Search variations like #arbonnemakeup, #pacificabeauty and #ecotoolsbrush were used, in order to obtain accurate data.” Two brands on the original list had no Instagram hashtag information to record. All data collection took place on August 4, 2021, and represents the numbers at that time.
