Peptide Compound
“Vegetable collagen” is not a single standardized chemical; it is a marketing term for plant-derived collagen-like blends, commonly hydrolyzed plant proteins, amino acids, and botanical extracts. In cosmetics it functions mainly as a film former, humectant-supporting conditioner, and skin-feel enhancer rather than true collagen replacement.
