Is Diethylaminoethyl Cocoate vegan?

Diethylaminoethyl Cocoate is the ester of coconut fatty acids and diethylaminoethanol, used as an emulsifier and conditioning agent. Coco fatty acids are typically plant-derived from coconut oil, though the term can occasionally refer to blends including animal-derived components.

An ingredient is considered vegan if it contains no animal-derived components at any point in its production.
