Nowadays it is the era of vegan things and many vegan options for food and drink are available in the market. People consider this diet the best. But what is this affair of vegan products? You must have seen that from perfume to toothpaste, big companies are now advertising vegan products.
This is because animal fat is mixed to a large extent even in everyday items. Yes, completely vegetarian people are also not aware of this. So let us tell you in which things animal fat is usually mixed.
1. Beer
Yes, first of all, let me tell you that there is a lot of animal fat in beer. Many brands use a compound called isinglass to complete the filter process of the beer. It is a type of gelatin made from the bladder of fish. By the way, now vegan beer has also started coming on the market, but you must check once whether your favourite brand is in it or not.
2. Soap
Most soap are made from compounds of animal fat. Glycerin and stearic acid are both compounds derived from animal fat. Soap is one of the most commonly used products and hence if you are a vegan and stay away from animal fat then try to choose a vegan soap.
3. Makeup brush
What to talk about makeup brushes. The hair used for these is animal hair itself. Although now silicone brushes are also being used, most are still made from animal hair. Their quality is better than silicone brushes and they also last longer.
4. Toothpaste
We have already told you that toothpaste contains glycerine and glycerine contains animal fat. That's why this happens in toothpaste too. Yes, if you do not want this, then always choose toothpaste which has a green icon. Vegan toothpaste will be best for you.
5. Perfume
If you are very fond of perfumes, scents, and perfumes, then let me tell you that perfumes are especially one of those things which contain animal fat. Especially the vanilla fragrance which contains castoreum. It comes from an animal called beaver and hence it contains a lot of animal fat.
6. Candy
Have you ever eaten gummy bear candy or red-coloured artificial candy? If yes, then let me tell you that it contains a substance called carmine which is made from animal fat. It is made in different ways and sometimes the shell of the red beetle is also used. Plus, jelly flavours contain gelatin, which is made from animal bones.
7. Capsule
By the way, you must be aware that animal fat is present in medicines. You must have also questioned whether capsules are veg or non-veg. The capsules also contain gelatin which is made from animal bones and hence is not veg.
8. Crayons
Crayons are made from a type of wax called stearic acid. This wax comes from bees. That's why it is also rich in animal products. Not only is this but the smell of crayons also made of processed beef fat. That's why it would not be wrong if it is called a completely animal product.
9. Shampoo
Many popular shampoo brands contain animal fat. Milk protein shampoo and keratin protein shampoo are all made from animal fat. The keratin used in conditioners and shampoos comes from the horns and scales of animals.
Similarly, nail polish, wall paint, fabric softener, razor and many more are made from animal fat. But you might not know that their vegan options are also available in the market.
