Is Alberto VO5 vegan?

[rushabh]

Been looking for CHEAP (I repeat, CHEAP) cruelty-free shampoo for a very long time.

Did a google search and found that Alberto VO5 shampoo and White Rain shampoos are vegan but there are some questions about VO5.

Can someone confirm with 100% certainty that Alberto VO5 is vegan? Thanks.

Thanks for the link but there is nothing in that discussion that answers my question.

On the other hand, IsItHalal.blogspot.com does mention that Alberto VO5 MAY contain animal products:

Dear Lazeena,

In regards to your query on animal ingredients hydrolyzed animal protein, collagen, and elastin are by-products of the meat processing industry, but none are pork derived.

Animals are not killed for obtaining these ingredients. Some of our products do contain animal ingredients through the raw materials we get from outside sources.

We therefore can not state that our products are animal by-product free.

Sincerely,
"KS"


Can you please comment on the above?

I am not sure if Alberto-VO5 is tested on animals. Might wanna look into that as well...

I don't know about that but if any local store sells White Rain products they are animal-friendly/vegan and super cheap :)

why would you want to use that crap?

just use Dr. Bronners if you don't care what yr using on your hair.


seriously, if yr going the "cheap" route, buy Trader Joes brand.

Not everyone has a trader joes around them, or even in their state.
