Product Information

Dr. Ava Shamban, board-certified dermatologist and founder of Ava MD Dermatology, explains that the chemical composition of collagen is the same across all species, consisting of three different amino acids that form a triple helix. “Today, using recombinant technology, we can have the same triple-helix amino acid sequence engineered that mirrors the sequence found in human- (or animal-) tissue-derived collagen, thus creating vegan collagen.” Currently, this technology is only used in formulating topical products and not in ingestibles. Created in 1996, this vegan and cruelty-free brand has been within the beauty-sphere for a very long time. Dreamt up by Brook Harvey-Taylor, Pacifica was born out of her obsession with creating ‘good-for-you' beauty products. Beginning with essential-oil-infused concoctions the founder discovered in her kitchen, the brand has gone on to develop a wide range of must have beauty staples across hair care, skin care, and body care heroes.

Regardless of molecule size, however, it still has the same moisturizing benefits of topical animal collagen, which can reduce the appearance of lines and wrinkles, at least temporarily. “Even if not penetrable, it still has the humectant benefits, and in this case it’s more a result of the structure of the collagen, not the size,” says Shamban. So do vegan collagen promoters actually work? “What you define as ‘working’ is pretty subjective,” says Kevin Herbert. “If you mean ‘does vegan collagen help raise the levels of collagen in your body?’ then the answer is yes, but no more than other supplements would do. So if you take it that each ingredient in a ‘vegan collagen’ supplement has the power to help support our natural collagen production, then it stands that combining them into a single capsule will produce a similar result.” Vegan collagen: topical vs ingested Here, expert-recommended products that can help spark collagen production t0 reduce wrinkles and skin sagging and even improve the structure of our bones and our bodies' ability to heal from an injury.

Shake well. Use alone or add a dropperful to your favorite moisturizer before bed, or anytime you need an extra boost. Apply to clean skin. There are studies showing that vitamin C, the main ingredient in many vegan collagen promoters, may increase the production of collagen, accelerate bone healing and reduce the levels of free radicals in the body. Free radicals have the ability to damage skin tissues and speed up the aging process, so taking antioxidants may protect your skin from the negative effects of oxidative stress. Another common ingredient in these products, collagen peptides, have also been found to help with collagen synthesis. Furthermore, other common compounds like copper and silica could contribute to better skin health and more youthful appearance.

Thanks to scientific developments, vegan collagen is functionally equivalent to the animal collagen that is used in skin care. “Collagen can now be made by using genetically modified yeast and bacteria sources,” explains Doyle. “Vegan collagen is made by adding human genes that produce collagen to the microbial genetic structure, which leads to production of collagen components by the yeast or bacteria. A digestive enzyme called pepsin is also added to assist with placing the collagen components into actual collagen molecules.” Collagen is one of the most abundant and important structural proteins found in our body. It makes up the connective tissues found in our bones, skin, muscles, tendons, and ligaments and is responsible for our skin’s strength and elasticity. Our bodies naturally produce it, but it begins to deplete by the time we hit our mid-20s, hence the popularity of ingesting supplements and applying topical products formulated with it. Traditionally, this collagen is derived from animal sources. Toepassingen: Helpt verbranden van de huid door de zon te voorkomen.
