Is SK-II vegan?

SK-II does not offer a dedicated vegan product line and does not label products as 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.
