Quick Answer: OURS IS. We make our own ingredient and formulate with it as the #1 ingredient in our Genius Liquid Collagen serum. With our biotech expertise, we turned to plants to develop a whole vegan collagen molecule to mimic the restorative benefits of animal-derived collagen. Though plants don’t naturally create collagen, we sustainably produced a whole collagen molecule in a lab by binding together plant protein fibers that include 3 chemically-identical amino acids found in all animal-derived collagen: glycine, proline & hydroxyproline. If you also want to make sure your product contains actual collagen, check out the ingredient list! Make sure collagen is listed; if it's not, it's likely not actual collagen. Our 100% vegan Liquid Collagen® is clinically-shown to visibly firm, smooth, reduce severity of deep lines & wrinkles – restoring bounce & resilience in 10 DAYS.
