Why do they use animal waste products in cosmetics?

For several reasons.  Collagen, for example, is a gelatin substance you can 
get by boiling bones and tendons.  This jelly is useful in making cosmetics 
smooth and creamy.  But another reason is that animal waste products are in 
abundant supply - and if people will pay to have them put into cosmetics, then 
does not it make more sense to use the product rather than throwing it away?
