>> Not really. I'm sure there are some, but I wouldn't say "many."

If I were to see hear taste smell or touch you, would it be obvious to me that you contained animal product(e.g without research I wouldn't know that beer is refined using fish guts)
Another thought are you paint?

When you say you are or have been made of all three materials, do you mean like a chess set can be made of ivory, wood, or stone, or do you mean something that usually incorporates two or three of those materials in one item?

Edit: Provisional question that I added, withdrawn.
