Is Axe vegan?

Some Axe products are vegan, but the brand does not market a dedicated vegan range.

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.
