Is Arachidyl Proprionate Pescatarian?

Caution

Sometimes. Arachidyl proprionate typically refers to the wax found in animal fat, though it can also be derived from coal or limestone. If the label does not provide a source, we recommend calling the manufacturer.

Arachidyl Proprionate and the Pescatarian Diet

Arachidyl proprionate is a synthetic wax ester commonly used in the cosmetic industry as an emollient, providing a smooth and soft texture to products. It is typically derived from arachidic acid and proprionic acid. While it can be sourced from animal fats, it may also be synthesized from non-animal sources like coal or limestone. This ingredient is primarily used in skin care and hair care formulations to enhance product feel and moisture retention.
