Is Chimyl Stearate vegetarian?

Chimyl Stearate is the ester of stearic acid and chimyl alcohol (a glyceryl ether), used as an emollient in cosmetic formulations. It may be derived from plant, synthetic, or animal-derived (e.g., shark liver oil) glyceryl ether sources, so its origin cannot be confirmed without further data.

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