        It depends. Many vegans see any product that “exploits” animals as nonvegan. That includes things like down feathers, wool and honey.

          Not sure how Wool exploits animals, shearing sheep is good for their health as I understand it (keeping them from growing things, or getting too heavy/waterlogged to move and just… laying there and dying, amomgst other things.)

            Sheep are selectively bred for their wool. Before humans started doing so, wild sheep did just fine without the need for shearing. So it’s pretty similar to milk in that if you don’t milk a modern dairy cow it will suffer, that doesn’t make milk an ethical product.

            After a few sheers they’re off to the slaughterhouse once the wool quality degrades. The sheering is not for their benefit.

        Not a natural ingredient though.

          Okay, but Ephera’s comment was about the (non-)vegan ingredients.
