Before we can answer that.  Listed below are examples of non-vegan ingredients that are used in some common skincare/cosmetic products:

• Beeswax (aka cera alba, cera lava). 

This is the wax from a bee’s hive. Bees must consume six or more pounds of honey in order to create one pound of wax. It is created by either being secreted by worker honeybees from four pairs of glands on the underside of their abdomens, or by secreting droplets of wax called “scales.” It can be found in many forms of makeup, from eye shadow to foundation to lipstick.

• Carmine (aka cochineal, cochineal extract, crimson lake, natural red 4, C.I. 75470, E120, carminic acid)

This deep red color is taken from crushed cochineal insects. The color is extracted from the insect’s body and eggs. It is a very common colorant in lipsticks and blushes.

• Collagen

This is a protein that is naturally produced in the bodies of animals. In order to extract the protein, collagen is taken from dead animals by cooking cartilaginous animal materials, such as bones, connective tissues, and skin. Collagen is typically used because of its temporary plumping or firming effect and can be found in lotions, creams or lipsticks.

• Guanine (aka CI 75170)

Guanine is fish scales that have been scraped off dead fish. It is then soaked in alcohol to create a pearly essence that is added to products. In mainstream cosmetics, you can find it in the sparkles of your products such as blush, eye shadow, and nail polish.

• Keratin

This is another protein found in mammals. It comes from hair, nails, and horns of animals. It is often found in hair products.

• Lanolin

This fat is derived from the grease in a sheep’s hair and is a product of the wool industry. It is most often found in lotions and lip balms.

• Squalane

This ingredient can be made from squeezing oil from the liver of a shark. You can find it in all sorts of moisturizers and cosmetics.
