Is Band-Aid vegan?
Most standard bandages are likely vegan (no animal-derived ingredients), but no explicit vegan range or certification exists.
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.
