CHI Vegan Products:

All CHI products are cruelty-free, but not all of their products are vegan. I have reached out to CHI and asked for a list of vegan-friendly products but have not yet received it. Right now, it appears that only some products in the CHI Vibes range and CHI Naturals with Aloe Vera range are vegan. They are clearly labeled as vegan on the product pages, which is so helpful!
