Guest guest Posted December 13, 2004 Report Share Posted December 13, 2004 Hi, I went looking for vegan evening primrose oil today and the only thing I could find that wasn't obviously in animal gelatin said "non-bovine gelatin" on the label. What the hell does that mean? Can I buy it? I'm thinking probably not, but I need some way to control my acne. My face is greasier and more broken-out now than when I was 16. I tried tea tree oil but it doesn't seem to be working. Love, Anna Anna Blaine anna333 Why Wait? Move to EarthLink. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 13, 2004 Report Share Posted December 13, 2004 Let me clarify - I know that "non-bovine" means (or should mean) that is doesn't contain products from bovine animals (cows, etc.). But does this include horses? And if it does, then what is the gelatin made out of? Peace, Anna - Anna Blaine 12/13/2004 3:08:35 PM non-bovine gelatin?

Guest guest Posted December 13, 2004 Report Share Posted December 13, 2004 I would imagine it is gelatine from another animal - not cows. I think if it was vegetable origin it would say so - because we're a fussy lot - so I don't think it is intended for vegans.

Guest guest Posted December 13, 2004 Report Share Posted December 13, 2004 Presumably it could be made from sheep or goats. - Anna Blaine Monday, December 13, 2004 10:10 PM RE: non-bovine gelatin?

Guest guest Posted December 14, 2004 Report Share Posted December 14, 2004 Hi Anna I don't know about the non-bovine gelatine, but have you tried Sage & Comfrey cream for the acne? I think you can get it from the Body Shop. BB Peter - Anna Blaine Monday, December 13, 2004 10:08 PM non-bovine gelatin?

Guest guest Posted December 14, 2004 Report Share Posted December 14, 2004 non-bovine just means it ain't from cows..because of the BSE scare.. it could be any verterbrate as far as i know..if it was aveggie source, like agar, it would prolly say so Jo bb Dec 13, 2004 2:29 PM Re: non-bovine gelatin?
