Is Aura Cacia vegan?

Most products are vegan; pure essential oils are 100% plant-based, though some topical blends may contain beeswax.

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.
