Is lanolin vegan?
Short answer
No. Lanolin is wax from sheep’s wool, common in lip balms; most vitamin D3 is also made from lanolin. Vegan balms use plant waxes.
Even “combed” wool is a product of sheep farming. The vegan definition covers clothes and cosmetics.
Some cruelty-free certifications are not vegan (they still allow lanolin).
