Is Steroid vegan?

Steroids are a class of organic compounds characterised by four fused carbon rings, found in animals, plants, and fungi. In cosmetics and pharmaceuticals they may be derived from animal glands, plant tissues, or produced synthetically, so their vegan status depends on the specific source and compound.

Classifications are made to the best of our knowledge based on available scientific and regulatory sources. We cannot guarantee the accuracy of every entry, errors in the sources we draw from can always occur. This tool also cannot account for cross-contamination, which depends entirely on individual suppliers and producers. If you believe a classification is incorrect, you can report an issue.
