Batyl Alcohol and the Vegan Diet
Batyl alcohol is a type of waxy, white solid alcohol that is used primarily in the cosmetics and pharmaceutical industries. It is a glycerol ether that can be derived from animal sources such as shark liver oil or other fish oils, but it can also be synthesized from plant-based sources. This dual origin means that its suitability for vegans can vary, depending on how it was produced. Consumers looking to avoid animal-derived products should verify the source of batyl alcohol from manufacturers.
