Is Maybelline vegan?
Some individual products are vegan-formulated, but the brand holds no third-party vegan 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.
