Not All Collagen Is Created Equal

April 13, 2026

Most collagen supplements still come from fish or cattle. And while collagen has become one of the biggest beauty trends of the last few years, we couldn’t help but feel the experience hadn’t evolved with modern wellness.


Fishy powders. Chalky drinks. A cupboard full of half-finished tubs.


We wanted to create something different.


At Mushus, we looked at skincare support through a more modern lens — one built around simplicity, daily rituals and ingredients people genuinely want to consume every day. Because when it comes to skincare, consistency matters.


Unlike many vegan collagen products, which are often simply blends of vitamins like biotin and vitamin C, our vegan collagen peptides are designed to mirror the amino acid profile of Type I & III collagen - the types most commonly associated with skin structure and elasticity.


We paired them with vitamin C and hyaluronic acid to support collagen synthesis, alongside tremella mushroom and HU58® probiotic to support hydration and the gut-skin connection from within.


Not only does this create a vegan collagen with no unpleasant aftertaste — making it ideal for our lightly sparkling canned drinks, but thanks to its ultra-low molecular weight, our collagen peptides are designed to be up to five times more absorbable than traditional bovine or marine collagen sources.*


They’re also completely vegan-friendly, without the concerns some consumers have around marine contaminants or animal-derived ingredients.


And the results speak for themselves.


In an eight-week study following daily use, participants reported:

  • 50% reduction in the appearance of wrinkles
  • 26% improvement in skin hydration
  • 11% improvement in skin elasticity
  • 17% improvement in hair density
  • 22% improvement in hair thickness
  • 45% improvement in hair growth
  • 42% reduction in hair fall

But more importantly? We designed Mushus to feel enjoyable.
No powders to remember.
No fishy aftertaste.
No overwhelming routine.
Just one cold sparkling can is designed to support your skin from within.
Because skincare support should fit effortlessly into your life — not become another task on your to-do list.
