Is Mink Oil Pescatarian?
AvoidNo. Animal product not typically used in food (more typically seen in medications, supplements, cosmetics and/or cleaning supplies).
Mink Oil and the Pescatarian Diet
Mink oil is a fat obtained from the fatty layer under the skin of minks, particularly from the American mink (Neovison vison). It is primarily used in the cosmetic industry for its moisturizing properties and is also a popular ingredient in leather care products due to its ability to condition and soften leather. Although not commonly used in food, it may sometimes be found in certain dietary supplements and topical medications.
