Is PPG-12-PEG-50 Lanolin vegetarian?

PPG-12-PEG-50 Lanolin is a chemically modified derivative of lanolin, produced by reacting lanolin with propylene glycol and polyethylene glycol (ethoxylation and propoxylation). It is used in cosmetics as an emollient and emulsifier. Since it is derived from sheep's wool wax, it is not vegan, though it does not require slaughter and is considered vegetarian.

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