Is Hydrogenated Argania Spinosa Kernel Oil vegetarian?

Hydrogenated Argania Spinosa Kernel Oil is the end-product of the controlled hydrogenation of argan oil, obtained from the kernels of Argania spinosa (argan tree, Sapotaceae). It is used in cosmetics as an emollient and skin conditioning agent with a firmer, wax-like texture compared to the non-hydrogenated oil.

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