Shellac
Est-ce halal ?
That depends on the source used, which is why this page states the source rather than a verdict:
Insect-derived
Derived from insects. The schools differ on eating insects other than locusts, so the answer follows the school you follow.
A resin secreted by the lac insect. Because it is a secretion rather than the insect itself, several scholars treat it more leniently than carmine, but the schools differ.

This page describes what additives are made from. It does not issue rulings. Where a source varies by manufacturer, the only reliable answer for a specific product is its halal certification or the manufacturer’s own statement — and where the schools of law differ, the position of the school you follow is the one that answers your question.
