Is Zyrtec vegan?

Zyrtec does not offer an explicitly vegan range; some formulations may contain animal-derived ingredients like gelatin.

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.
