Is Bis-Hydroxyethoxypropyl Dimethicone/IPDI/Sorbitan Stearate Copolymer vegetarian?

Bis-Hydroxyethoxypropyl Dimethicone/IPDI/Sorbitan Stearate Copolymer is a silicone-based urethane copolymer formed from hydroxypropyl-terminated ethoxylated dimethicone, isophorone diisocyanate (IPDI), and sorbitan monostearate. The sorbitan stearate component may be derived from plant or animal-derived stearic acid, making origin uncertain.

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