Is Mycosporine-Like Amino Acids vegan?

Mycosporine-Like Amino Acids is a product derived through microbial fermentation, consisting primarily of shinorine, porphyra-334, and mycosporine glycine. These are small, natural UV-absorbing compounds originally identified in marine and other sun-exposed organisms, and are produced here via biotechnology.

An ingredient is considered vegan if it contains no animal-derived components at any point in its production.
