In Paris, beauty giant  L’Oréal has introduced animal-free collagen to its Age Perfect Collagen Royal Anti-Aging Face Cream sold in China.

Produced via biotechnology, the collagen features an amino acid sequence identical to collagen found in human skin and vital to elasticity and tissue health.

In addition to personal care, collagen is used in medical treatments, wound healing, dietary supplement, and as a gelling agent. It is usually sourced from animals, but synthetic biology offers a cruelty-free and environmentally friendly alternative.

According to Green Queen, Shanxi Jinbo Biopharmaceuticals supplies recombinant collagen materials to L’Oréal.
