What it checks, and what it can’t
Each ingredient is matched against the 128 ingredients in our ingredient glossary, each with a vegan verdict, plus a short list of animal-derived ingredients no Divina piece contains, such as keratin, silk, shellac and guanine. The other checks use the same rules as our collections: fragrance and flavouring, talc, silicones, parabens, formaldehyde releasers, mineral oil, drying alcohol, retinoids and the prostaglandin analogues used in some lash serums — isopropyl cloprostenate and its relatives, which the checker names when it finds them. It reads names, not sources: glycerin could come from a plant or an animal, and no list says which, so it is flagged for you to ask about rather than passed.
Questions
How can I tell if makeup or skincare is vegan from the ingredients?
Look for the animal-derived names: beeswax (cera alba), lanolin and its derivatives, carmine (CI 75470), honey (mel), collagen, keratin, silk, shellac and guanine. Some, such as glycerin, stearic acid or lecithin, can come from plants or animals, and a list never says which; for those, ask the brand.
Does this checker keep what I paste?
No. It runs entirely in your browser, and nothing you paste is sent anywhere.
If nothing is flagged, is the product officially vegan?
No. This reads the names on the list and nothing else. Certification also looks at how ingredients are made and tested. An ingredient the checker doesn't recognise is shown as not checked, not as vegan.
