Is Salmon DNA vegan?Updated 19 days ago

No. Salmon DNA is not vegan because it is derived from purified salmon DNA (polynucleotides).

Salmon-derived polynucleotides are widely used in aesthetic medicine because they are highly compatible with human skin and have been extensively studied for their ability to support skin repair, collagen production and regeneration. While plant-based or synthetic alternatives exist, salmon-derived polynucleotides remain one of the most researched sources used in skin-rejuvenation treatments.

The ingredient may be suitable for those following a pescatarian lifestyle, as it is sourced from salmon by-products from the food industry and no salmon are specifically harvested for cosmetic use.
