Ingredient Origins

Here is information regarding the origin of the ingredients you asked about:

• Glycerin: Glycerin can be produced from various sources, including vegetable oils (plant-based), animal fats (animal-based), or through synthetic processes. USP/Food Grade glycerin is commonly derived from plant sources.
• Glycereth-26: Information regarding the specific origin (plant or animal) of Glycereth-26 was not available in the product description found.
• Hyaluronic Acid: Modern production of Hyaluronic Acid is often done through bacterial fermentation, which is considered a non-animal source. Historically, it was sometimes sourced from animal tissues.
• Glyceryl Stearate: Glyceryl Stearate is an ester formed from glycerin and stearic acid. Glycerin can be plant or animal derived, and stearic acid is a fatty acid that can come from either animal fats or vegetable oils (such as palm or soy). Therefore, Glyceryl Stearate can be plant-derived, animal-derived, or synthetic, depending on the source of its components.
