Is beeswax a vegetarian product?

We call a product "vegetarian" when it's produced by animals but it doesn't contain any animal part in it.

By this definition, beeswax can be considered a vegetarian product, as it’s made by bees but doesn’t contain bees themselves.

Based on this definition, even if beeswax is removed from hives in a way that avoids harming the bees directly, it’s still removed without their direct consent.

Therefore, if you are a vegan, NeuEve suppositories and balm may not be suitable for you. However, if you are a vegetarian but not a vegan, you may use these products because beeswax can be considered a vegetarian substance.

We have a vegan product. It is called Feminine moisture support (sea buckthorn oil). You may find this article helpful:
