Is Lipid vegetarian?

Lipids are a broad group of organic compounds including fats, waxes, sterols, fat-soluble vitamins, and phospholipids, found in both animals and plants. They serve functions such as energy storage, cell membrane structure, and signalling. In cosmetics, lipids can be derived from animal fats or plant oils, making their vegan status dependent on source.

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