Is Capiz Vegetarian?
AvoidNo. Animal product not typically used in food (more typically seen in medications, supplements, cosmetics and/or cleaning supplies).
Capiz and the Vegetarian Diet
Capiz is a natural material obtained from the shell of the windowpane oyster, scientifically known as Placuna placenta. It is predominantly used for decorative purposes, such as in lamps, chandeliers, and other household items, due to its translucent properties. In addition to its aesthetic uses, capiz is occasionally found in some cosmetic products and other non-food applications. It is not a common ingredient in food products and does not have a role in typical dietary consumables.
