Is Sodium Behenoyl/Cocoyl (Arginine/Glutamic Acid/Isoleucine/Leucine/Lysine/Phenylalanine/Proline/Threonine/Valine) vegetarian?

This ingredient is the sodium salt formed by condensing a mixture of behenic acid chloride and coconut acid chloride with an aqueous solution of several amino acids (arginine, glutamic acid, isoleucine, leucine, lysine, phenylalanine, proline, threonine, and valine); the fatty acyl components may be plant or animal derived and amino acid sourcing is unconfirmed.

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