Q: Are Lipcote and Browcote cruelty-free?

Q: Are Lipcote and Browcote suitable for vegans?
A: Although both are suitable for vegetarians, Lipcote and Browcote are not suitable for vegans. The reason being that one of the ingredients – shellac, is produced by the lac insect and subsequently harvested for use in many different ways from making plasters to being the resin used on a violin bow. The closest common analogy we can think of is that of honey – if you would be happy using a cosmetic containing honey then you might consider using Lipcote.
