Plant-derived collagen
Plant-derived collagen is a vegan-friendly skincare ingredient that mimics the effects of animal collagen. It is typically made from plant proteins and peptides that help support skin’s natural firmness and elasticity without using any animal sources.
How it works in skincare
In cosmetics and skincare, plant-derived collagen works by delivering amino acids and peptides that signal the skin to improve its structural support. It helps to visibly plump the skin’s surface, reduce the appearance of fine lines and enhance overall smoothness and bounce, making it a popular choice in moisturisers, serums and creams.

Where it comes from
Plant-derived collagen is produced from a blend of plant proteins, most commonly sourced from wheat, soy, peas or algae. These plant materials are processed to create peptides that replicate the amino acid profile of traditional collagen.
