Is Hydrogenated Lecithin vegetarian?

Hydrogenated lecithin is lecithin that has undergone hydrogenation to increase saturation and stability. Lecithin is typically sourced from soybeans, sunflower, or egg yolk, making the origin ingredient-dependent though most commercial cosmetic lecithin is plant-derived.

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