In reply to Jessie. It sounds like it's because it's made on shared equipment and does not contain carmine. I would consider it carmine-free. That said, it's completely up to you and how you feel about shared equipment.

Hello. I bought a liquid lipstick from physicians formula and it is a nude shade. On the ingredients list it said that it may contain carmine. When I emailed them, they told me that it is caused by cross contamination. Therefore should I consider this product carmine free or not? Thank you .

In reply to Madison. It depends on why it says may contain. If it says that because it's made on shared equipment, then I do consider them vegan. Or if a brand confirms that they are just using the same ingredient listing and there are vegan options, then I consider those vegan. But if it's on there because sometimes those ingredients are included then I do not.

Do you consider products that say “may contain” still vegan? I would say yes because same with food a lot of certified vegan items even say “manufactured on shared equipment with milk,eggs, etc. would you personally use these may contain products?
