Answer 2

Carmine is made from crushed cochineal beetles.

Lanolin, beeswax, propolis, royal jelly, honey, to name a few. The E.G. Smith Collective has a booked called "Animal Ingredients A to Z" that lists all sorts of animal ingredients and possible animal ingredients.

Vegetable glycerin, by the way, is perfectly okay.
