Characteristics of Vegan Gummies                  

Of course, vegan gummies mean no animal products whatsoever. They also do not contain other elements, including unnecessary additives and all the stuff you can’t even pronounce. To ensure you’re getting a vegan product, here is a breakdown of what your vegan gummies don’t contain.

• No Gelatin
• No Beeswax
• No Shellac

Gelatin

While you may not realize it, gelatin is a common ingredient in gummies since it acts as an adhesive to give the product its consistency. Another thing you may not realize is that gelatin comes from animals. More specifically, it’s derived from bones, skin, and ligaments. As a result, vegan gummies contain a plant-based product as a substitute.

Beeswax

Often, when manufacturers remove gelatin, beeswax is added to serve as an adhesive. Beeswax ensures gummies retain their shape and aren’t sticky. It also gives them a nice, shiny coat! Since beeswax comes from animals, pectin replaces it in vegan gummies. Pectin is a fiber that naturally occurs in various fruits.

Shellac

Shellac is a material secreted by bugs native to Thailand and India. Manufacturers often add it to color foods and serve as a glaze. Since shellac comes from insects, it’s not vegan-friendly. Hemps Company leaves it out of our gummies. Therefore, you can rest assured you’re not consuming any animal products.
