Is Cetyl Hyaluronamide vegan?

Cetyl Hyaluronamide is the product obtained by reacting cetyl alcohol with hyaluronic acid. Hyaluronic acid used in cosmetics is generally produced by microbial fermentation, though it can occasionally be derived from animal tissue, making the vegan status dependent on sourcing.

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