As someone seriously allergic to pork I’m extremely careful to read ingredients on any beauty products I buy. I’m questioning how LYS Primer can be labeled vegan while containing glycerin as an ingredient. Glycerin is made from both beef and pork byproducts-mostly pork too. I wish beauty products using plant based forms of glycerin would clearly list that so I know it’s safe for me to use. The risk of anaphylaxis is very real for me, and my family. Can someone explain this because I would love to find more products I can use-they’re very rare. See below:
@GGMaZita Ironically, Sephora's "clean" label is supposed to indicate a "clean" product contains no animal fats or oils, according to Sephora's own definition of "clean."

A third way is to contact the brand directly and ask them. I know it's a hassle to reach out to brands each time you wanna buy something that contains a questionable ingredient (I've had to do it myself, as there are certain ingredients my skin's very sensitive to). But it's one way to be reasonably certain.
