A 100% vegan product contains no animal-derived ingredients — no meat, dairy, eggs, honey, beeswax, lanolin, silk, or any other animal byproduct. At EarthBased, every product listed is screened to ensure it meets this standard, with no animal testing at any stage of production.

Vegetarians avoid meat, poultry, and seafood but may consume dairy products and eggs. Vegans go further and avoid all animal products including dairy, eggs, honey, and animal-derived ingredients in food, clothing, and personal care.

Veganism is a lifestyle that seeks to exclude the exploitation of animals as far as possible. In practice, this means avoiding animal products in food, clothing, and personal care. EarthBased was founded to make vegan and sustainable living accessible and affordable across India.

Yes. Most nutritionists recommend a gradual transition. A common approach: Week 1, remove red meat; Week 2, remove poultry; Week 3, replace dairy with plant milks; Week 4, replace eggs. EarthBased stocks direct substitutes for every common animal product, all in one place with pan-India delivery.

Yes. EarthBased stocks vegan leather wallets, bags, and accessories made from cork and other plant-based materials. Brands like Clan Earth offer cork wallets and sling bags that are 100% animal-free and eco-friendly.

The most widely available dairy-free milk alternatives in India are oat milk, almond milk, soy milk, coconut milk, and cashew milk. Oat milk is best for chai and coffee due to its creaminess. Soy milk has the highest protein at 6–8g per cup. Almond milk is lowest in calories. All are available at EarthBased with pan-India delivery.

Oat milk is the most popular choice for Indian chai — its natural creaminess mimics full-fat cow milk, it has a mild flavour that complements spices, and it froths well. Soy milk is a close second as it holds up to heat without splitting. Both are available at EarthBased.

For the approximately 60% of Indians who are lactose-intolerant, plant-based milk is significantly easier to digest and reduces bloating and discomfort. Plant-based milks are cholesterol-free, free from antibiotics and synthetic hormones, and many are fortified with calcium and Vitamin D to match dairy nutrition.

Vegan cheese is made from plant-based ingredients such as cashews, almonds, coconut oil, or soy — without any dairy milk. It melts, spreads, and can be used in cooking similarly to dairy cheese. EarthBased stocks vegan cheese options that are 100% animal-free.

Yes. Almost every dairy ingredient used in Indian cooking has a plant-based alternative: Milk → oat, almond, or soy milk • Ghee → coconut oil or vegan butter • Paneer → firm tofu • Cream → coconut cream • Curd → coconut or soy-based yogurt. All are stocked at EarthBased.

Vegan certified means a product contains no animal-derived ingredients. Cruelty-free means neither the product nor its ingredients were tested on animals. A product can be cruelty-free but not vegan (e.g. untested beeswax), or vegan but not certified cruelty-free. At EarthBased, every product is screened to be both.

In 2022, the Indian government issued FSSAI Vegan Regulations — the first official framework defining what constitutes vegan food in India. Under these regulations, vegan food must contain no animal-derived ingredients. FSSAI-certified vegan products carry a “V” logo. EarthBased verifies compliance with FSSAI vegan standards for all listed products.

To verify if a product is truly vegan in India: (1) Check for the FSSAI vegan “V” logo. (2) Read the ingredient list for hidden animal derivatives — casein, whey, gelatine, carmine, lanolin, beeswax, and shellac are common ones. (3) Look for “may contain milk” warnings. EarthBased does all this verification before listing any product.

“Clean label” refers to food products with short, recognisable ingredient lists — free from artificial additives, preservatives, colours, and flavours. EarthBased prioritises clean-label brands, particularly in baby food, snacks, and protein supplements, where ingredient transparency matters most.
