Caution

Civet can come from either animal or synthetic sources. If the label does not provide a source, we recommend calling the manufacturer.

Civet and the Vegan Diet

Civet is a musky substance that has been historically used in perfumery and flavoring. It is traditionally obtained from the perineal glands of civet cats, but due to ethical concerns and the rise of veganism, synthetic civet is now also available. This synthetic version mimics the scent and properties of natural civet without involving animal products, making it a more ethical choice for those adhering to a vegan lifestyle.
