Origins

The email I got from them:

Thank you for your interest in Origins.

From the beginning of Origins, it has been our philosophy to formulate
with
non-animal ingredients. However, we have recently discovered a
communications error that allowed certain animal ingredients to be
included
in some of our formulas. These products have either been discontinued
or
have been reformulated and are available not at counter. It remains our
mission to continuously strive to make Origins products free of animal
ingredients.

We do use beeswax and honey in some of our formulations. Beeswax is
naturally produced by bees during the process of making honey. These
ingredients come from nature-driven renewable sources.

Regarding the use of non-vegan ingredients in some of our products, we
wish
to explain that the majority of our products are appropriate for use by
our
vegetarian consumers. We have listed the exceptions to this statement
below.

The following is a list of non-vegan Origins products: (contain
beeswax:
Rain & Shine Liptint, Cover Your Mouth, Creamy Lipcolor, Just Browsing,
Sheer Sticks, Matte Sticks, Shimmer Sticks, Mind Your Mouth, Lip Gloss,
Peace of Mind Gumballs, Lip Remedy, Love Me Tender, Lasting Lipcolor,
Eye
Brightening Sticks, Underwear for Lips; Shadow Sticks); (contain honey:
Mind Your Mouth, Cover Your Mouth, Cold War Honey).

Ingredient lists for any of our products are available upon request.

We trust that the above addresses your concern. Should you have any
further questions, please feel free to contact us. We look forward to
having you visit your favorite Origins location in the near future, and
hope you will continue to look to Origins for product honesty,
performance
and concern for the environment.

Sincerely,

Leigh Wyshosky
