Our collagen is derived from plants

We do not use Animal Collagen!  Our labs provide the following information.
Pseudo collagen is a true moisturizing glycoprotein taken from living cells. It is extracted traditional brewer’s yeast by a controlled process which preserves its high molecular weight and native structure and enables it to confer desireable moisture binding and film-forming properties to the skin. In this single product we offer you a combination of the best from dermal protein and sugar worlds in a soluble, easily handled form that is an ideal substitute for animal based collagen.
Aromantic is committed to use proteins which are derived from vegetables and other non-animal sources. Our producers have looked to yeast for a source of pseudo collagen material that will provide moisturization for both skin and hair.
Pseudo collagen has been extracted from the intra-cellular matrix from yeast cells in a water soluble ‘Pseudo collagenous’ form suitable for use in cosmetics and creams. Pseudo collagen is the name that has been given to this cellular extract consisting of a moisturizing complex of sugars and proteins. This complex is responsible for turgor and shape inside the cell, in a similar way to sugar/protein complexes in the dermis.
It has been demonstrated that Pseudo collagen has excellent moisture binding properties, making it especially suited as a soluble collagen replacement.
