Is Stearamide vegan?

Stearamide is the amide of stearic acid (C18 fatty acid), used as a slip agent, lubricant, and release agent in cosmetics and plastics. Stearic acid can be derived from animal fats (beef tallow, lard) or vegetable oils, so the vegan status of stearamide depends on the source of the stearic acid used.
