LUXlife is excited to announce the return of the Global Vegan Awards in 2024. Now in its fourth consecutive year, this prestigious award will explore the full spectrum of the vegan market, recognizing and celebrating the leading companies that are driving innovation in this increasingly influential sector. The global vegan industry has experienced remarkable growth in recent years, emerging as a prominent force in the global food economy. After hitting a market size of $30 billion last year, experts predict that the sector will continue to expand over the next decade and could potentially reach over $100 billion in value by 2032. This impressive market expansion can be attributed to increasing awareness of the health, environmental, and ethical concerns associated with animal products. As consumer demand for both sustainable and ethical products continue to rise, this creates a lucrative opportunity for vegan-based companies to carve out an advantageous position in their respective fields. With a diverse range of quality plant-based alternatives that also boast numerous health benefits, the vegan industry is growing in popularity and is poised to become a mainstream force in the modern food landscape.

4 | LUXlife Magazine ased in the APAC region, BIOLUME CARE strives to educate as many people as possible about the transformative impact that using natural plant-based essential oils can have when it comes to enhancing their daily lives – a commitment upheld by its unrivalled selection of cosmetics and skincare products. Made using only the finest raw ingredients sourced from natural resources, these products are not only friendly to the planet, they are also friendly to the skin, even when it is sensitive. Since day one, the brand has been passionate about serving those with all skin types, offering everybody the stress-free experience that they deserve when it comes to selecting the right products for their needs. As mentioned above, this expansive range spans everything from oils and creams to masks, as well as a mousse, a serum, a body scrub, and a hand sanitiser. The holistic method that defines the company’s approach to both these products and its audience has resulted in responsibility becoming interwoven with beauty. Paving the way in its region when it comes to the increasingly held belief that aesthetics and sustainability can seamlessly co-exist, BIOLUME CARE recognised early on in its journey that excess is one of the things that prevents people from living truly sustainable lives. There are countless people whose dressing tables are brimming with all sorts of cosmetics, most of them scarcely used, and at least some of these products will have been made at the detriment of the environment or the creatures it encompasses. For decades, it was common practice to pillage the environment for our beauty regimes, and even though steps have been taken to remedy this, it is still something that countless brands do, albeit less overtly than they once did. BIOLUME CARE knows this is totally unnecessary, and if we nurture the natural world instead of destroying it, it provides us with many alternative ingredients that are kind to us – ushering in a cycle of sustainable practice. Not only are the products themselves created atop this ethos, but it also extends to the brand’s packaging, which both is smaller than that of its competitors and made from increasingly recyclable materials. Waste is Most Innovative Plant-Based Cosmetics & Skincare Brand 2024 – APAC & LUXlife Customer Service Excellence Award 2024 Few brands embody a passion for nature quite like BIOLUME CARE, which allows its customers to immerse themselves in the continuous wonder of nature’s gifts through its range of organic cleansers, essential oils, face masks, moisturisers, and more. These diverse products have a few things in common – they are all pure, simple, and have been designed to benefit the brand’s customers in their everyday lives. Below, we explore more about this multi-award-winning cosmetics brand and its products. B AIS-Nov24023

Global Vegan 2024 | 5 one of the biggest issues impacting our planet today, and as is the case with ingredients, there are alternatives out there that more than do the job. Only by buying the products of brands like BIOLUME CARE can we ensure that future generations will be able to enjoy the intrinsic beauty of the natural world. “BIOLUME CARE, through practical actions, finds that beauty and quality of life can be achieved without hurting others and destroying the environment.” With many of its customers being vegetarian and vegan – and almost all of them loving nature and animals – BIOLUME CARE has been able to use its platform and its products to build a community that educates people on the harmony that can be achieved between us and nature by making a few simple changes in the products that we use. As a part of this education, which applies to the brand itself just as much as its customers, the team here also specialise in the research and development of natural products. This ongoing dedication to pushing boundaries has resulted in BIOLUME CARE positioning itself as a frontrunner in the world of cosmetics, and there are some key differences at play setting the brand apart. For example, plant essential oils are used as the base ingredients for its products, and a recognition of the five pungent plant species – which Buddhist vegetarians are not allowed to eat – sees that these are also left out of its products, reflecting a keen awareness of the unique needs of customers in its immediate area. BIOLUME CARE’s community efforts go far beyond considering the needs of its customers however, and the brand’s belief in always giving back sees it donate a portion of its revenue to sponsoring charities and non-profit organisations. Beyond this, funds are also allocated to independent athletes, which reflects the long-standing commitment BIOLUME CARE has to sports and other outdoor activities. After focusing primarily on the impacts BIOLUME CARE has on its customers and the world around it, this is a great opportunity to shift gears slightly and focus on the internals of the brand, diving deeper into the people who make the magic happen – its team. Although everyone at BIOLUME CARE has their own area of expertise and responsibilities, the culture is one of teamwork and collaboration, where ideas and information flow freely and people feel trusted and empowered by those around them. Given the state of the beauty industry today, where technological advancements make it more straightforward for cosmetics and skincare products to be produced cheaply using chemicals, the internal culture at BIOLUME CARE is proving vital in allowing its team to remain firm in their mission and continuing innovating. Climate change is another mitigating factor impacting the brand’s natural extracting methods, and this is another yet reason why it is so passionate about utilising such sustainable practices as friendly planting. With this sustainable undercurrent continuing to permeate the brand, BIOLUME CARE is excited to announce that it has a number of diverse products set for imminent release. Notably, these include offering reusable packaging solutions aside from just recyclable ones, with the team here striving to see that their packaging becomes more than a mere outer shell and is instead a part of its overarching experience. In essence, the shift towards clean skin care/beauty is more than just beneficial to the person using the products, it is potentially game changing for the people and the world around them. By advocating for this, BIOLUME CARE is ushering in a brighter future, as well as bringing back a simpler and more natural approach to beauty that has been lost over time. These reasons alone make the brand more than deserving of these titles, marking two consecutive wins in our Global Vegan Awards.

6 | LUXlife Magazine Tofu Restaurant of the Year 2024 – Kyoto Based in Kyoto City, the Tousuiro Kyoto and Tousuiro Gion are traditional Japanese restaurants based in the Kyoto area, offering an extensive range of authentic dishes, catering predominantly for those with specific dietary requirements, such as the vegan and gluten-free communities. We profile the firm and its delicious offerings as it reigns supreme in the Global Vegan Awards 2024. Kyoto, officially Kyoto City, is the capital city of Kyoto Prefecture in the Kansai region of Japan's largest and most populous island of Honshu. As one of the oldest municipalities in Japan, Kyoto is home to around 1.5 million residents, and sees many hundreds of thousands of visitors each and every year, who hope to soak up the traditional culture of this fascinating country. There are two restaurants under the Tousuiro Kyoto brand, one is the Kiyamachi Restaurant, based in the Kiyamachi area at the heart of Kyoto city. The restaurant is a Kyoto’s preserved traditional house from the Taisho era, where guests can enjoy delicious tofu dishes on the waterfront of the Kamo River. During the summer months, diners can sit and relax on the “kawayuka” floor and feel the river breezes, in a truly traditional experience that is one of the finest in Kyoto. The second restaurant, Tousuiro Gion, is based in the Gion area and is situated in a preserved 130-year-old merchant house, located in the traditional region of Kyoto which is most famously known for its incredible sightseeing. Here, the team serve a Kaiseki menu mainly using tofu and seasonal ingredients. There is also a vegan Kaiseki course and glutenfree Kaiseki course as well, offering visitors something unique and delicious to heighten their experience of the city and all it has to offer. Respect for the Japanese traditions and culture is of the upmost importance to Tousuiro, and the restaurants strive to provide customers with as authentic an experience as possible. “Time has been moving rapidly in Japan,” explains a spokesperson for the brand, talking about the booming tourist industry in the area. “Compared to previous years, many customers have come to Japan and Kyoto from other prefectures or overseas.” The spokesperson continues to tell us that, up until about 10 years ago, there was hardly any vegetarian or vegan interest in Japan. It was only through providing tofu dishes and plant-based options on its menu that Tousuiro realised there was, in fact, a huge appetite (excuse the pun!) for this kind of cuisine. “Many customers had told us to make a vegetarian and vegan menu but to be honest we did not know anything about that culture,” the spokesperson adds. “And then, we have tested many times to make a vegetarian and vegan course - now this course is the one of the most popular courses in Tousuiro!” The dedicated team of staff at both restaurant sites strive on a daily basis to provide a full experience to customers, both through their delicious food and also through their motivation and eagerness to see visitors enjoying themselves. There are, of course, challenges to operating a successful chain of restaurants in a bustling tourist region, one of which is communication as, more often than not, customers and staff members alike struggle to understand each other. Tousuiro has combatted these obstacles with its existing customer base by making contact through email, and regularly despatches communications to restaurant goers in this way, telling them about exciting new dishes on the menu and offers that can be found at the restaurants. For example, the new Yubanabe meal experience, which consists of having ‘yuba’ (tofu skin) mixed with soy milk and dashi in a ‘nabe’ (Japanese pot) and cooked in front of guests - this is fast-becoming one of the restaurant’s hero dishes. “The taste and visual of yuba will change due to the timing of pulling up the yuba from the nabe,” the spokesperson elaborates. “The experience of making yuba will be a precious time for visitors and we can promise that it will be a big memory of your trip.” In recognition of its commitment to offering authentic food in a traditional setting, Tousuiro recently celebrated success in the Global Vegan Awards 2024, attaining the title of Tofu Restaurant of the Year 2024 – Kyoto for its impressive efforts. Now, Tousuiro is keen to continue to offer exciting and delicious new dishes to suit all dietary requirements in the Kyoto region. With gluten-free being a priority, the restaurants recently began creating a Kaiseki set, which is already going down very well with customers both old and new.

Global Vegan 2024 | 7 Auratherapy, which is currently undergoing a total rebrand and has changed its name from Adoratheraphy, is one of the leading providers of vegan aromatherapy products in the US. Through its plant-based alternatives to traditional perfume, the company is on a mission to enhance emotional wellbeing and make personal transformations available for all. People are clearly starting to take notice, and Auratherapy today has two flagship stores – where it offers much more than just products – and also sells online. Best Cruelty-Free Essential Oil Product Line 2024 – USA instead of alcohol, Laura and the team are able to further enhance the aromatherapy experiences they provide across their product range, especially in the case of their award-winning essential oil blends. Laura then adds: “Our candles, made with soy wax, further emphasise our commitment to sustainability and ethical practices. For us, veganism is not a passing trend; it’s an intrinsic part of our mission to promote plant-based healing and holistic wellness.” On the back of this, one of the most important things for Auratherapy is being able to simplify aromatherapy, which it does by educating and empowering customers to choose the scents they feel an intrinsic connection to, and which align with their emotions and goals. Called the ‘perfume with a purpose’ philosophy, this process is redefining the fragrance world, and Laura and co. are excited to be at the forefront of what is quickly becoming an industry-wide shift to safer and more meaningful products and experiences. This is not to say that the road ahead will be without challenge, and some of the hurdles Auratherapy is having to overcome include altering the perceived definition of aromatherapy – which is misunderstood, undervalued, and associated only with relaxation – to something more transformative and intentional, as well as traversing the rise in greenwashing, with the many brands that falsify their sustainable practices making it harder for authentic natural fragrance brands like Auratherapy to stand out. Nevertheless, the wellness industry is slowly changing and so too are the perceptions around it, and Auratherapy remains as adaptable as its surroundings so that it may continue to pioneer and help as many people as possible. The aforementioned rebranding is a great example of this, as are upcoming initiatives such as the Auratherapy certification programme – which will educate wellness professionals – and the opening of the Aura Sanctuary, its new headquarters. Through these initiatives, the brand is continuing to position itself as a leader. Ultimately, Auratherapy stands out in this space by bridging the gap between aromatherapy and personal transformation. Auratherapy is one of the leading providers of vegan aromatherapy products in the US. Through its plant-based alternatives to traditional perfume, the company is on a mission to enhance emotional wellbeing and make personal transformations available for all. People are clearly starting to take notice, and Auratherapy today has flagship stores in Miami and Asheville – where it offers much more than just products – but customized data driven aura & chakra reading services as well. Contact: Laura McCann Web Address: auratherapylife.com he mission of Auratherapy is as straightforward as it is profound – to inspire its customers to embrace their unique potential through the power of aromatherapy. This mission is realised both through its comprehensive range of oils, perfumes, sprays, and candles as well as the holistic health services it provides from its in-person locations in North Carolina and Florida. These include bespoke consultations, aura readings, educational workshops, and healing events all focusing on the mind-body-soul connection. Anyone can access these services or use these aromatherapy products, and Auratherapy’s diverse clientele ranges from spiritual seekers to everyday folk in search of safe, non-toxic alternatives to their favourite home and body products. CEO Laura McCann tells us: “Our clients are individuals who prioritise holistic wellness, ethical choices, and self-care. Whether they are seasoned yogis, energy healers, or newcomers to aromatherapy, we approach each customer with empathy and curiosity, offering tools to meet their unique needs.” With an operation centred around the core values of sustainability, accessibility, and self-love, Auratherapy is seeking to make a real difference in people’s lives, allowing them to improve their own wellness without having to sacrifice their morals or negatively impact the planet. The brand has not only upheld this ethos since its inception, it has also taken the necessary steps to advance it. Thus, as well as vegan, crueltyfree aromatherapy products, the company is now proud to use glass and recycled carboard for its packaging. This unshakable commitment to the planet is clear from the very beginning of the brand’s process, with every ingredient used in Auratherapy’s range being meticulously chosen for its safety and quality, not only for customers but also for their families, pets, and the environment. Moreover, by using non-toxic and breathable bases T

8 | LUXlife Magazine speaks for the authenticity of BIG sister’s mission, as Maïlys simply aims to help people experience the way she lives. Currently, the vegan industry is relatively small and not performing as well as it could, and Maïlys believes this is because meaningful change takes time. Many companies in the vegan space aim for immediate results comparable to industries that have existed for centuries. Time, strength, and resilience are essential for progress. Now, Maïlys believes that vegan brands still have significant work to do, and branding is one of the key areas for improvement. Making veganism attractive and accurately showing what it truly represents is essential for its growth and acceptance. “Our challenges now lies in combatting stereotypes and building enough confidence in people to encourage them to visit our restaurant for the first time.” Maïlys is finalising a BIG sister cookbook for brunch, which should be available early next year, plus there are plans to expand as the café’s current location has become too small to meet demand. “We are actively looking for the right place and the right partner to open the BIG BIG sister in London as the city is the main stage for veganism. What began as an idea and a concept has now been fully validated, and we are excited and ready for the next chapter.” Contact Details [email protected] Contact: Maïlys Torterat Web Address: www.bigsistervegan.com IG sister is a 100% plant-based coffee shop, based in Nancy, France, which serves a range of specialty coffee and homemade food for a truly innovative vegan dining experience. Established in 2022, BIG sister has one aim - to enable everyone to consume differently and to drastically reduce their impact on the environment, without any sacrifice. It is this core value which Founder, Maïlys Torterat, has based her business on to offer an optimistic, truly eco-responsible yet imperceptible solution to help save the planet. “Over the past two years, we have worked very hard to build something truly unique and authentic,” Maïlys explains. “We are proud to say that we have created something entirely new - a one-of-a-kind restaurant where the ambiance is truly distinctive, and the cuisine is nothing short of mind-blowing.” Guests visit BIG sister to experience something that they can’t find anywhere else - where the owners genuinely care about customers and showcase what veganism truly is, and what it should always aspire to be. The menu features high-end cuisine that is 100% vegan, incredibly flavourful and, what Maïlys describes as “highly Instagrammable, yet still affordable.” Ethics and authenticity are the pillars of BIG sister. Every detail is carefully considered, from energy-efficient operations (the café is zero food waste and 60% less energy consuming than your usual eatery), to ensuring delightful surprises throughout, all while prioritising sustainability in subtle, unobtrusive ways. At BIG sister, nothing is overtly perceptible and Maïlys says that most people wouldn’t immediately realise that the café is fully vegan, and that it strictly controls its energy consumption, or that it is even entirely zero food waste. In fact, she states that she would consider it a failure if these things were too obvious! “Our aim is to subtly plant the seeds for change,” she enthuses. “Inspiring a better future through thoughtful actions and bringing meaning back to people’s lives, while also building a strong community of leaders driving positive change.” For Maïlys, veganism is not a passion; it is instead a necessity and a lifestyle that she and her Co-Founder have embraced since 2014. This Best Vegan Food Experience 2024 – France & LUXlife Customer Service Excellence Award 2024 So much more than simply a vegan café, BIG sister is a sustainable, fully plant-based dining experience that is designed to enable people realise their potential through their consumption choices. We chat to one of the Co-Founders about her plans to ensure everyone is making the best choice for the future as the company gains recognition in the Global Vegan Awards 2024. B

Global Vegan 2024 | 9 Best Ethical Vegan Footwear 2024 – New York If you’re looking for ethical and beautiful vegan footwear to complement your style, for special occasions and even everyday wear, we’ve found a fully vegan footwear brand that will serve you well. We dig deeper into BHAVA’s success story as it was recently recognised in our prestigious Global Vegan Awards 2024. BHAVA’s story begins with its founder Francisca Pineda’s years of experience in the luxury leather goods industry in New York. She tells us, “eventually started getting headaches from the off gassing produced by the chemicals in the leather. This started a long rabbit hole into learning about why leather is the most toxic material used in the fashion industry. Over a decade ago my commitment to create beautiful products that were more durable and more comfortable than their luxury leather counterparts.” Choosing to create luxurious shoes that are beautiful and long-lasting, Francisca is on her own journey where she is fighting against animal exploitation and the mistreatment of people and the planet. By choosing to influence people in a positive way with the creation and delivery of stunning vegan products, instead of criticising the leather industry in order to convince it to halt, Francisca’s devotion has helped her to design and market irresistible shoes – shoes that are durable, comfortable, and loved by many. Francisca elaborates, “Most of our customers come to us because they are looking for cruelty-free footwear, but they keep returning because of our attention to comfort and quality, that is what sets BHAVA apart from the competition.” As a small, one-woman company BHAVA is situated in Spain where Francisca is able to work seamlessly with a family owned factory where design for comfort and durability come to life. She is passionate about the fair treatment of all beings, and the world around us, so that we can spend many more years developing solutions to the problems the industry, and the world, faces. “Bhava is committed to producing timeless vegan shoes and belts using small family owned manufacturers in limited edition collections.” No matter your ethical stance, whether you’re worried about animal or human welfare, or the overall health of the planet, BHAVA has a solution to support each aspect of its customers’ concerns. Providing its customers access to high-quality vegan shoes, boots, and sandals, BHAVA is home to a diverse range of stylish footwear that is of award-winning value. Francisca is so passionate about ethical fashion that she recommends watching The True Cost, to truly put unethical fashion under the spotlight. Always raising awareness for the positive impact sustainable fashion has on the world and its beings, with whom we share this planet, Francisca is an advocate for peaceful living and equality around the world. Although many small businesses around the world face challenges, such as inflation and a lack of materials, Francisca’s passion helps her to persevere – turning challenges into windows for opportunities. She says, “I try my best to maintain a healthy spiritual and emotional lifestyle to make the best daily decisions during these difficult times.” Francisca’s dedication to improving the industry is a driving force behind all she does for her customers, animals affected, and the planet. With plans in the pipeline to expand and offer more, this year BHAVA is excited for its plans to release a collection of veganNov24079 friendly and ethical bags for its customers to enjoy. Francisca shares, “We have a very loyal customer base that has gotten us through the most difficult times in the past and I am confident in our future.” We’re proud to award BHAVA with the title of Best Ethical Vegan Footwear 2024 – New York and we’re sure to see it continue to thrive.
