Is Palmitoyl Hyaluronate vegan?

Palmitoyl Hyaluronate is the product obtained by the reaction of palmitic acid chloride and hyaluronic acid. Hyaluronic acid used in cosmetics can be derived from bacterial fermentation or animal tissue, so the origin of this ester is not always certain.

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