Is Glyceride vegan?

Glycerides, also known as acylglycerols, are esters formed from glycerol and fatty acids. They are generally hydrophobic and can be derived from either animal fats or plant-based oils, making their vegan status dependent on the source. They are widely used as emollients and emulsifiers in cosmetics.
