Do Hindus avoid using products with cow-derived ingredients like tallow/sodium tallowate?
I’m Hindu and recently found out that my Australian Sunlight Pure Soap contains tallow (sodium tallowate), which is usually beef/cow-derived.
I’m a non-vegetarian and eat all kinds of meat except beef because I respect the significance of cows in Hinduism. Since this is a soap and not something I’m eating, would Hindus generally avoid using it? Do you personally avoid cow-derived ingredients in non-food products?
