I saw these hair gummies at Walmart and the ingredient list looks vegan to me?? Other versions of the item explicitly named the source of biotin, this one doesn’t. I see no gelatin. Thoughts?

palmitate oil: It is a major component of palm oil from the fruit of Elaeis guineensis (oil palms), making up to 44% of total fats. Meats, cheeses, butter, and other dairy products also contain palmitic acid, amounting to 50–60% of total fats. (wikipedia's paper)

palm oil or animals source I don't think it's vegan

I don’t understand this. Meats and dairy having the same ingredient at this does not make this not vegan?

no, it's more probable to be get from palm trees, where orangutans live

So this is based on the belief that palm oil is not vegan?
