Is Geranial vegetarian?

Geranial is the E-isomer of citral, an acyclic monoterpene aldehyde found in essential oils such as lemongrass and citrus peel, and is also produced synthetically. It contributes a strong lemon-like odour and is used as a fragrance ingredient.

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