为什么

Chemically identical either way, so the label rarely says which. Most European food-grade glycerine is plant-derived, but soaps and cosmetics often use tallow. Look for 'vegetable glycerine' or ask the manufacturer.

The ingredient list on your own pack — Glycerine recipes differ by country and change over time
Milk, whey, casein, lactose, egg, honey, gelatin, carmine (E120) and shellac (E904) in the list
"May contain milk" is an allergen cross-contamination note, not an ingredient — most vegans still buy it

常见问题

Is Glycerine certified vegan?

Certification is separate from the recipe. Many products with no animal ingredients carry no vegan mark because the maker will not rule out shared production lines. Check the pack for a registered vegan trademark, and treat the ingredient list as the primary evidence.

Does the answer change between countries?

Often, yes. The same brand name can use different fats, emulsifiers, colours or whey depending on the plant that made it, so always read the local label rather than an answer written for another market.
