Arachidyl Propionate

UPDATED ON December 15th, 2018

(maybe vegan) Arachidyl Propionate is a wax that, according to contradictory websites, can be obtained from animal fat, or coal and limestone. It is used in lipsticks, moisturizers, and other cosmetics to provide emmoliency, lubricity, and gloss. Please check with the manufacturer for the source of arachidyl proprionate. I am still trying to find out how it is most commonly sourced today.
