Since the COVID-19 crisis, consumers worldwide have shown a growing interest in ethical value consumption, encompassing environmental sustainability, ecosystem preservation, cli mate change, and animal rights. This trend is also evident in the cosmetics market. Consumers who prioritize ethical values in the vegan cosmetics market consider how their purchase s can contribute to society by excluding harmful ingredients and supporting brands that embrace environmental, social, and transparent management practices (ESG). Vegan consum ption lies at the heart of this trend, which centers around beliefs and values. The current eco-friendly consumption trend, aimed at addressing climate change and animal welfare, has I ed to increased attention toward vegan cosmetics. These products are seen as agents of change in the cosmetics industry, particularly in terms of value-driven, altruistic, and ethical consumption. this study confirmed that a majority of women show a keen interest in skincare and use vegan cosmetics. They value the efficacy, usa bility, and applicability of these products, and they demand reasonable price improvements, more reliable vegan cosmetics, and enhancements in quality. Consumers have high expec tations for the efficacy and effects of vegan cosmetics. Therefore, in order to meet consumer expectations, it is important to prioritize price reductions and improve reliability. The colla boration between the vegan cosmetics market and certification agencies is expected to play a significant role in achieving these objectives.
