Is Trimethylsilyl Hydrolyzed Conchiolin Protein PG-Propyl Methylsilanediol Crosspolymer vegan?

This ingredient is the reaction product of hydrolyzed conchiolin protein (derived from mollusk shell nacre) condensed with silane compounds, then crosslinked and end-capped with trimethylsilyl groups. Because conchiolin is derived from mollusks, it is of animal origin.

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