Veganuary at Yellow Professional: Vegan Haircare Without Compromise

Veganuary continues to grow year after year, and with it, client awareness around ingredients, ethics and transparency. More than ever, clients are asking what’s really inside the products used on their hair – and at Yellow Professional, we’re proud to give a clear, honest answer.

Our commitment to vegan formulas is rooted in transparency, performance and professional results, making it easy for salons to offer conscious choices without compromise.

What Does “Vegan” Mean at Yellow Professional?
In the cosmetics industry, the term vegan is not officially regulated, which can often lead to confusion. At Alfaparf Milano, we’ve chosen to be very clear.

Vegan means our formulas do not contain ingredients of animal origin or derivation, including honey, beeswax, lanolin, collagen, keratin or gelatin.

This definition allows salons to confidently explain what vegan means in practice, not just in principle.

Our Commitment to Vegan Formulas
At Yellow Professional, vegan is not a trend – it’s a long-term commitment.

• 98% of Yellow Professional formulas are vegan
• Vegan-certified products contain no ingredients of animal origin
• Performance always comes first

In a small number of cases, certain formulas are not vegan where plant-based alternatives cannot yet deliver the same professional results. This ensures that hair performance, safety and reliability are never compromised in salon.

Vegan Across Care, Colour and Styling
One of the biggest advantages for salons is how easy it is to offer vegan options across the full service journey.

Yellow Professional offers vegan formulas across:

• Haircare ranges – including Hydra Care, Color Care, Curls, Repair and more
• Technical colour – including permanent colour, toners, peroxides, bleach and Tone-On-Tone Creator
• Styling products – all vegan-friendly and salon tested

This means salons can confidently recommend vegan products for backbar and retail, without needing to change techniques, timings or results.

Why Veganuary Matters in the Salon
Veganuary is the perfect opportunity to open meaningful conversations with clients who are increasingly conscious about the products they use.

It’s a chance to:

• Build trust through transparency
• Highlight vegan backbar and retail options
• Reassure clients that vegan does not mean a compromise on results

For many clients, knowing their salon uses vegan-friendly products adds value to the service and strengthens loyalty.
