Is Chanel vegan?

Chanel does not offer a dedicated vegan range; many products contain animal-derived materials or ingredients.

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.
