Is Aleve vegan?
No dedicated vegan range; inactive ingredients may include animal-derived gelatin or stearates, and no vegan certification is provided.
Vegan means no animal-derived ingredients — beeswax, lanolin, carmine, collagen, silk or milk proteins — anywhere in the formula. It is a separate claim from cruelty-free, and a brand can be one without the other.
