Body lotions containing animal fat

Are we allowed to use body lotions with animal fat?

Praise be to Allaah.

Using body lotions containing animal fat is permissible if the animal is one that we are permitted to eat and has been slaughtered properly according to sharee’ah. Otherwise it is not permitted.
