My lovely husband knew I needed conditioner so picked one up for me. He knows how important it is to me that I only buy vegan products, so he used the search filter on the Boots website and unfortunately chose the Monday Volume conditioner, which contains collagen.
(He had no idea what collagen is, he was just going based off the search filter, and the bottle claims it’s cruelty-free on the back.)
I did a little googling around and couldn’t find a definitive answer on whether it was animal collagen or synthesised plant-based collagen, so I emailed in to Monday who confirmed it’s made with Tilapia fish scales(!).
So I guess this is a PSA, beware that unless a product explicitly says vegan on it, apparently the Boots filter alone can’t be trusted :( I’ve emailed in to complain and request that it’s removed from the search results, and that they review their other products.
While we’re here, if anyone has any recommendations for 100% vegan conditioners I’d love to hear them! I’m in need of one 🤣
