Is Clinique vegan?
Clinique offers a selection of over 150 vegan-labeled products, but the brand is not fully vegan.
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.
