Animal-derived ingredients in cosmetics: the A–Z list
Bunny Search's Ingredient Check uses a curated list of 138 animal-origin materials: 113 that always come from animals and 25 that may, depending on the supplier. Its rules match about 1,480 of the 33,602 ingredient names in the EU's CosIng database (1,287 as animal-derived, 193 as "may be").
How to read this list
- Animal-derived
- The material always comes from animals. A product whose ingredient list has one gets "Not vegan" in the app ("Possibly not vegan" if it's only under "may contain").
- May be animal-derived
- The same name is used for material from animals and from other sources, and the label doesn't say which. A product with one of these, and nothing animal-derived, gets "Possibly not vegan", unless the app couldn't check every ingredient.
- On labels
- The names our rules recognize on an ingredient list: INCI names, color index (CI) numbers, E numbers, Latin names, and common names in other languages, such as German, French, Spanish, Italian and Polish.
- What it does
- The ingredient's functions in the EU's CosIng database, where it has an entry.
- Our rules flag N related names
- How many of the 33,602 CosIng ingredient names our rules match to the entry, with up to 10 examples. Each CosIng name is counted once, under one entry, so a broad entry such as lanolin shows few names: its PEG, laneth and lanolate derivatives have entries of their own.
Families group entries by where the material comes from; within a family, entries run from A to Z. The A–Z index lists every entry on one screen.
"No animal-derived ingredients found" is not a vegan certification: the app can't see how suppliers make each ingredient. And none of this says whether a brand tests on animals. That's a separate question, and checking a brand is free: look it up in the brand directory.
Some ingredients that often appear on lists of animal-derived ingredients are deliberately not flagged, because the grades used in cosmetics are normally made synthetically, by fermentation or from plants: allantoin, panthenol, lactic acid, urea, fatty alcohols and amino acids. How we check explains the rules.
"May be animal-derived": when the label can't tell
25 entries are marked "May be animal-derived". The same ingredient name is used for material from animals and from plants, fermentation or synthesis, and the label doesn't say which. Glycerin, for example, can come from plant oils, animal fat or petroleum. Only the maker knows which source a product uses; if it matters to you, ask the brand.
When the label names the source
If the ingredient's name itself says it comes from a plant or was made synthetically, the app doesn't flag it. "Olive Squalane", "Squalane (Sugarcane)" and "Vegetable Glycerin" are not flagged: the app shows "Not on our list of animal-derived ingredients", with the note "Label names a plant or synthetic source". Plain "Squalane" or "Glycerin" stays "May be animal-derived".
The 25 entries: Bile acids, Cerebrosides, Chitin, Chitosan, Cholesterol, Chondroitin, Cysteine, DNA, Glucosamine, Glycerin, Glycosaminoglycans, Guanine, Hirudin, Hyaluronic acid, Kefir, Lecithin, Lysozyme, Musk, Oleic acid, Rennet, Sphingolipids, Squalane, Squalene, Stearic acid, Vitamin D3.
