Is Bis-HEMA Poly(Methylpentanediol Adipate)/IPDI Copolymer vegetarian?

Bis-HEMA Poly(Methylpentanediol Adipate)/IPDI Copolymer is a synthetic urethane polymer made by condensing methylpentanediol with adipic acid to form a polyester, which is reacted with isophorone diisocyanate (IPDI) and end-capped with HEMA (hydroxyethyl methacrylate). It is used as a film-forming polymer in cosmetics.

An ingredient is considered vegetarian if it avoids components derived from killing an animal.
