Product Description
Pseudo Collagen is a non-animal alternative to collagen, designed to support cosmetic skincare formulations that focus on moisture and skin appearance. Unlike animal-derived collagen, this ingredient is extracted from the intracellular matrix of yeast cells, offering an effective and sustainable option for formulators.
The ingredient has a clear to hazy, viscous liquid form with a mild odour. Over time, a slight sediment may appear in the bottle, which is a normal characteristic of this extract.
The skin’s ability to hold water is directly related to its overall appearance.
As skin ages, collagen and elastin levels naturally decline, reducing its ability to retain hydration. This can lead to thinner-looking skin, visible lines, and an aged appearance.
By supporting hydration and moisture retention, Pseudo Collagen helps to improve the look of skin texture and suppleness. It imparts greater elasticity to the skin, improving its flexibility and youthful appearance. It provides a smoother, refreshed appearance and supports a calm complexion when used in daily skincare routines.
This vegan-friendly ingredient is ideal for moisturising creams, hydrating serums, and facial gels designed to promote healthier-looking skin.

Market and Industry Insights
The demand for natural, vegan, and sustainable skincare solutions is reshaping the beauty industry, and pseudo collagen is at the forefront of this movement. As a non-animal alternative to traditional human or cow sourced collagen, pseudo collagen appeals to consumers who prioritize cruelty-free and eco-conscious choices. Extracted from the intra cellular matrix of yeast cells, this innovative ingredient offers a sustainable solution without compromising on performance.
The market for pseudo collagen is experiencing robust growth, with a projected CAGR of 8% from 2023 to 2033. This surge is fueled by increasing consumer awareness of the benefits of plant-based and non-animal alternatives, especially in the cosmetics and dietary supplements sectors. Brands like Aromantic are leading the way, offering high-quality pseudo collagen products that promote youthful, supple skin and add body and shine to hair with excellent moisturising properties.

These combinations are designed to enhance skin elasticity and anti-age properties, making them highly sought after for those looking to create a more youthful look to skin. The use of wu zhu extract and other botanical actives further supports the trend toward natural, effective skincare.

"Aromantic so far seems like a great company! Their website is awesome! I received my order pretty quick and was well packaged! I cannot comment on the product I purchased yet, I have only recently used it in a product and I would like to use it for at least 60 days before I review it. I can say it mixed well in my product! I cannot recommend this product until I have a bit more test time."
