Vitamin E is important because it helps protect your cells from oxidative stress. It also helps boost your immune system, reduces blood clot risk, lowers your risk of cancer, helps your eyes and brightens your skin.
If you don’t get enough Vitamin E, you may become prone to infections and/or develop muscle weakness or impaired eyesight.
Fortunately, Vitamin E is in a lot of foods, so most people don’t have to worry about getting enough of it. The only time you should worry about getting enough Vitamin E – and probably other nutrients – is if you have an absorption problem, or your nutrient absorption has become impaired.
It is also possible to OD on Vitamin E because unlike other vitamins, excess Vitamin E doesn’t come out when you pee. Vitamin E is what’s called a fat soluble vitamin, which means it’s stored in your tissues and livers, which includes the excess. And I don’t think I need to tell you how bad hyper consumption is when it comes to your body.
Unfortunately, in my research, the only ‘side effect’ to having excess Vitamin E that I found was bleeding in the brain. And while I don’t think I need to tell you why that’s bad, I was sort of hoping I’d be able to find a less panic-inducing symptom to include, just in case any of you readers are like me and tend to over-stress about certain things.
Luckily though, all you have to do to avoid getting too much Vitamin E is make sure you consume less than 1,000mg worth of supplements. Why just supplements? Because apparently it’s extremely rare (the articles literally used the phrase almost impossible) to OD on Vitamin E from just eating it in food. So, relax! Unless you’re downing supplements like Tic-Tacs, you’re most likely fine.
Most adults (including pregnant women! [This isn’t an exciting fact, just something I’ve noticed in my nutrient collage series]) only need 15mg per day. Which is way under 1,000mg, so again, try not to worry.
Starting in the top left-hand corner, moving clockwise:
While we are living in the futuristic sounding year of 2024, there are still many beauty products that aren’t vegan. Nail polish unfortunately is one of them.
Fortunately though, vegan polishes are a lot easier to find nowadays, as long as you know what to look out for. Also luckily, I’ve done the research so you don’t have to!
Common Non-Vegan Nail Polish Ingredients:
Carmine
Let’s start with one you’ve surely heard me talk about before if you’ve been around. Carmine – also sometimes called Red 40 or Allura Red – is a vivid red dye that is used in a lot of different products (including food!) that is made from crushed cochineal beetles. Speaking of food, I recently found this ingredient in Hickory Sticks, so unfortunately simply not buying a red coloured polish wouldn’t necessarily mean you’re off the hook.
Shellac
Another ingredient I’m sure you’ve heard of before, Shellac is a resin secreted by the female lac bug, which obviously makes it not vegan. Why is there another bug in your nail polish? Because it’s used to give polishes that typical glossy shine.
Lanolin
Here’s one you might remember from my Vegan Sunscreen post. Lanolin is an animal fat that’s extracted from sheep’s wool. It’s classified as a moisturizer, which is why it’s sometimes added to nail polishes.
Tallow
If you read this article, you’ll remember this ingredient, too. Tallow is rendered animal fat, typically coming from cattle. Unfortunately I couldn’t find a specific reason as to why some companies put Tallow in their nail polishes, I found a bunch of articles speculating that this ingredient could be the reason your nails sometimes turn yellow after wearing polish for a long time.
Guanine
Also sometimes simply called Pearl Essence, this ingredient provides a shimmering luster to polishes that make their shines almost irresistible. Until you learn that this ingredient is derived from fish scales.
Keratin
This ingredient is used for it’s strengthening properties, which is supposed to enhance the durability of your manicure. (Ie make it not chip off as fast) Which sounds like a good idea, right? Well, it would be! If this ingredient wasn’t a protein that is typically made from hooves, horns and hair.
Think you’ll be safe from non-vegan ingredients if you reach for a polish that says something like ‘all natural’ on it? Think again. Some of these fake saving-the-Earth companies that market or boast their products as being all natural use ingredients like beeswax and honey. Which I hopefully don’t need to explain are not vegan.
The only way to be sure that you’re actually getting a vegan nail polish is to look on the label and not see if it actually says the word vegan on it, but read the ingredients list! Some vegan polishes may also say something like water-based formula or breathable on their label. Before actually going to the store, you can also check out the brand’s website if they have one. You can often very quickly find out whether or not a brand is vegan or sells vegan products from their website.
That said, while some polishes ingredients may indicate they’re vegan, keep in mind the brand selling them might not be. Not only could they be a brand that sells both vegan and non-vegan polishes, but they may also not be cruelty-free. The company might boast that they don’t test on animals but watch out for an asterisk (*) somewhere in that statement. Or if they say something like we don’t test our products or ingredients on animals, except where mandatory by law.
This means they unfortunately do test their products or ingredients on animals, so that they’re allowed to be sold in a particular country. I’ve most often seen this statement to mean companies sell their products in China, which requires animal testing before allowing certain products to be sold there.
As I always say though, the decision of whether or not to support these non-vegan brands is up to you. Is it worth it (or sustainable) for you to only buy and support 100% vegan companies? Or is it enough for you to simply buy a vegan product from a non-vegan company? I’m a fan of voting with your dollar, so while buying from a non-vegan company is obviously not ideal, buying their vegan products will show that company that that’s what their consumers want. And this will hopefully (eventually) lead the company to offer more vegan products in the future.
I know this is a vegan ingredient article, but I also think it’s worth mentioning that non-vegan ingredients aren’t the only problematic ingredients in nail polish. Some polishes also contain toxic chemicals.
Dun dun dunnn
No but seriously, some polishes contain very harsh chemicals that you definitely shouldn’t be putting on your body.
Ingredients like:
Toluene (which has been linked to reproductive harm and respiratory issues)
Formaldehyde (a known carcinogen)
Dibutyl Phthalate aka DBP (can interfere with hormone function)
Camphor (a resin which comes from a tree so you may think it’s safe, but has unfortunately been known to cause skin irritation, cause respiratory problems and could potentially even lead to liver damage)
Ever wonder why some nail polishes smell super awful? These guys are usually the reason. If you’d like to save your body – and nostrils! – from further abuse, look for polishes that say anywhere from 3-10+ Free on the label/in the website description.
I know this may seem like a tall order – not only trying to find vegan polishes, but 10 Free, too? But don’t worry!
As I said at the beginning of the article, vegan and healthier polishes are becoming much easier to find nowadays, because we really are living in the future!
Here’s some of my personal favourite brands to help you get started:
Karma Organics
ORLY
Sally Hansen’s Good. Kind. Pure. Line
Nails Inc (I haven’t actually used Nails Inc. yet – they stopped selling in Canada right before I placed an order – but they’re vegan and have cool polishes like colour changing and scented options!)
I’m purposefully not listing why I love these brands in this article, because I’m planning on doing Product Reviews on them in the future.
As I said at the top of the article, this is just a list of the most common non-vegan ingredients in nail polishes, not an exhaustive list! I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again: I recommend you to do your own research for country-specific rules or ingredients or if nothing else, read the ingredient label yourself before buying!

As a drug store, carrying food isn’t Shopper’s primary focus, so it shouldn’t come as any surprise that their vegan offerings are not as plentiful as some grocery stores.
Some of their locations don’t even have a grocery section, and the ones that do, well it’s not that big. You can usually get fresh produce, juice/pops or other snack foods and that’s pretty much it.
Oh, and you can also find great deals on Halloween candy! (Though not the vegan kind)

In Canada, Starbucks is known as being the coffee company that tried to take over Tim Horton’s corner of the market with their “weird” offerings and too many choices.
While it’s true they have a lot of coffee customization, it turns out this is a good thing!
Almost all of their coffee offerings you’re able to swap out cow’s milk for a plant alternative (soy, almond and coconut are some of the most popular) and their iced coffees you’re usually also able to just say “no whip”.
As if that wasn’t amazing enough, some locations also have vegan foods available!

Hot Coffee

HIPPEAS Organic Chickpea Puffs

The following products are also vegan, but I wasn’t able to find pictures of them:
• Classic Oatmeal
• Hearty Blueberry Oatmeal
I also reached out to Starbucks Canada (23.06.08) to find out if the following products were vegan, as their website didn’t have the ingredients listed. Unfortunately they didn’t get back to me for these specific products, so I recommend reading the packaging, or calling/asking your local store before purchasing:
Starbucks® Chocolate Covered Espresso Beans
Squirrel™ Classic Almonds
Squirrel Brand® Crème Brûlée Almonds
Salted Almond Chocolate Bites
Justin’s® Dark Chocolate Peanut Butter Cups
Butter Gourmet Popcorn
Crispy Apple Chips
Perfectly Salted Kettle Potato Chips
Salt & Vinegar Kettle Chips
KIND® Nuts Cherry & Dark Chocolate Bar
KIND Peanut Butter Dark Chocolate Bar
Not all these products may be available at every store location, either. But it’s nice to know you’re able to get something other than a customized drink if you want to.

While most people don’t need to specifically worry about whether or not they’re getting enough Vitamin A, it’s still beneficial to learn what foods have which nutrients. It can also be helpful to see some “staple” foods that seem to have every nutrient in them that you should be eating all the time, and other foods you can use to shake up your diet, while maintaining your health.
Speaking of which, you may know that Vitamin A is important for you to eat, but do you know why? (Other than “people say so”)
Vitamin A is important to eat because it helps maintain:
Vision
Body Growth
Immune Function
Reproductive Health
There’s actually two kinds of Vitamin A: Vitamin A1 (also called retinol) is the kind only found in animal products, whereas Provitamin A is the kind found in plant-based foods.
And while getting enough Vitamin A is important for your overall health (my research found “males” need 900 micrograms, whereas “females” need 700 micrograms), I also came across an article that said getting too much Vitamin A (200,000mcg) could lead to some not-so-fun side effects:
Nausea
Vomiting
Vertigo
Blurry Vision
The article I found this information from was unclear on whether or not they were speaking about the food-sourced Vitamin A or supplements, but I figured it was good information to include, anyway.
Now you know how much you need (and how much to avoid), time to learn the best plant-based sources of Vitamin A:
Starting in the top left-hand corner, moving clockwise:
Sweet Potato, Baked 1,920 mcg
Carrots, Cooked 1,280 mcg
Butternut Squash, Baked 1,140 mcg
Spinach, Cooked 943 mcg
Collard Greens, Cooked 722 mcg
Turnip Greens, Cooked 549 mcg
Swiss Chard, Cooked 536 mcg
Pumpkin Pie (1 “piece”) 488 mcg
Cantaloupe 270 mcg
Red Bell Pepper, Raw (1 Large) 257 mcg
Romaine Lettuce, Raw 205 mcg
Grapefruit (1 full) 178 mcg (89 mcg per half)
Kale, Cooked 172 mcg
Broccoli 120 mcg
Mango 89 mcg
Papaya 78 mcg
Apricot (2 Apricots) 67 mcg
Black Eyed Peas, Boiled 66 mcg
Watermelon 43 mcg
Tomato Juice (3/4C) 42 mcg
Tangerine (1 full) 37 mcg

Not too surprisingly, Dairy Queen does have vegan options, but there’s not a lot of them, and, their most popular items haven’t been veganized. (Yet)
What did surprise me however, was the fact that they sold more than just ice cream. Their website included burgers, chicken fingers, and more!
Starting in the top left-hand corner and moving clockwise:
Non-Dairy Dilly Bars
Side Salad
Fries
Onion Rings
Soft Pretzel Sticks with Zesty Queso*
Cherry Misty Slush (Red 40)
Kiwi Strawberry Misty Slush (Red 40)
Blue Raspberry Misty Slush (Blue 1, Red 40)
Lemon Lime Misty Slush
Mug Root Beer
Mountain Dew Original (Yellow 5)
Dr. Pepper Original
Brisk Iced Tea
*According to the ingredients listed, the Queso isn’t vegan, however the pretzels are. The description said the queso came on the side, so while I’ve never tried to, you might be able to order the pretzels and ask them to hold the dip. Or give it away to a non-vegan friend.
I also found ingredients for a Grape Misty Slush, but wasn’t able to find a picture.
One thing I found a little… let’s call it ‘sneaky’ is that the Pepsi and Diet Pepsi that are listed on their website have “artificially flavoured Vanilla Ice Milk” listed in the ingredients.
I’m not trying to accuse Dairy Queen of anything – their thing is ice cream, so it makes sense a lot of their offerings contain milk – however, the fact that the Pepsi and Diet Pepsi are listed with the other pops, and not under the Blizzard or other drink labels just doesn’t sit right with me.
According to the ingredients, it’s clearly some sort of drink mix, but to list it as just “Pepsi” and not tell people it’s a mixed drink… I don’t know, I just don’t like that.
Anyway, there you go. If you ever find yourself stranded with nothing other than a Dairy Queen around, now you know at least you won’t starve.

Though No Frills is owned by Loblaw, they surprisingly don’t carry as many vegan options as their parent company. Sure they’re a ‘discount’ store, but that doesn’t mean they should carry less vegan products.

Living in Canada means I get the fun of dealing with 4-feet snow banks and -40C temperatures. Unfortunately, humans aren’t born with a layer of heated skin, so we have to find other ways to keep ourselves warm during winter. The most usual being winter clothes. Jackets, boots, gloves, hats, scarves, etc.
Also unfortunately, most of the go-to fabrics for winter clothing aren’t vegan friendly. Wool, down, fur – even silk! This makes it hard to find vegan-friendly winter clothes for new and veteran vegans alike.
Fortunately though, we’re living in the future!
This means with a little bit of research, you can find suitable winter clothes that will keep you nice and toasty – without compromising your ethics.
Thinsulate
This fabric is a synthetic, waterproof and durable cold weather textile. I’ve seen this stuff being used the most as an alternative to the down lining in winter jackets, but I bet with a bit of searching you could find it available for other clothing items, as well.
It also used to be much harder to find than it is nowadays, which is great news for vegans!
Cotton
Yes, this simple, well-known fabric has many uses – including being a great alternative to wool for winter!
While cotton isn’t water-proof, it does a great job of keeping you warm in the colder months. It’s also soft and breathable, which is a must when you’re layering ten fabrics together!
Another great thing about cotton? It’s super easy to blend it with other fabrics!
Looking for a clothing item that’s a mix of cotton and something else will give your innerds the best chance at staying warm and dry.
Polyester, Nylon and Acrylic
These materials are another synthetic alternative. While they’re some of the most widely-available fabrics, I’ll leave it up to you on whether or not you want to shoulder the environmental responsibility.
That said, keep in mind that buying a clothing item that contains one or more of these fabrics is still ethically better than one of the usual winter go-tos.
Bamboo
Not just for toilet paper – bamboo is another versatile material that’s breaking into the winter clothing market!
Bamboo clothes can be some of the softest, most comfortable pieces you’ll ever wear. It also has antifungal and odour resistant properties, which makes it a great option for doing activities such as shovelling snow.
One downside to bamboo is that it’s not the warmest option available. So you might want to skip wearing it on the coldest day of the year.
Wildflowers
Yes, that’s right! While this might be a harder alternative to find than some of the others I’ve mentioned, there are companies out there using wildflowers as an alternative stuffing option to down!
I don’t imagine you’d be able to find these clothing items at ‘normal’ retailers such as Old Navy, but they shouldn’t be too hard to find on a dedicated vegan clothing website.
I’ve also heard of a few companies using materials like coconut or soybean fiber, but like wildflowers, I don’t think those pieces are as widely available as some of the others I mentioned.
Some winter coats also have detachable fur lining on their hoods, so if you’re really in a pinch – and the rest of the materials used in the jacket are alright – you can always zip it off and donate it.
While there’s not too many widely available vegan materials for winter clothes, there’s definitely enough you should be able to find what you need to make it through.
And if you don’t… well you can have a 5 month house party!

They come in all different shapes, sizes, and some aren’t even made out of flour!
It shouldn’t surprise you to know that most pasta noodles are made without eggs.
But what might surprise you, is that those aren’t the only noodles available!
Take a look at the collage below, and think about expanding your horizons on your next pasta night.

*Tinkyada is a local (Scarborough) made, 100% vegan rice pasta brand!
Unico, No Name, Ital Pasta, Catelli, PC and De Cecco have many different shapes of pasta that are suitable for vegans. If I had filled the collage with every shape they had available, it would’ve been way too big! So instead, I decided to pick 1 shape from each brand to represent what they offer.
Most brands that I’ve found tend to stick with one way to make their noodles. So if you find one shape that doesn’t contain egg (or milk?), chances are good their other shapes won’t.
Some of these brands are also specifically Canadian, so I’m not sure if they’re available in other countries.
