Is Lifebuoy vegan?

Some Lifebuoy products are vegan, but not the full range; check individual labels.

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.
