Are there any common ingredients that are mistaken for being vegan but actually aren't?
Yes, some ingredients may appear to be vegan at first glance but are not. For example, squalane can be derived from sharks, and carmine, a red pigment, is made from crushed cochineal insects. Lanolin, derived from sheep's wool, and glycerin, which can be animal or vegetable-derived, are other examples. Always check the source of these ingredients to ensure they align with vegan standards.
