Is Matrix vegan?
Some Matrix products (e.g., select Biolage items) are labeled vegan, but the brand does not have a fully vegan range or certification.
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.
