Vegan Skin Tightening Options
Vegan-friendly options for skin-tightening are limited.
Most skin-tightening products contain animal based collagen. Plant-based collagen is less effective and requires other ingredients to get good results.
Original Sleek Tightening Cream combines:
- plant-based collagen components (proline, amino acids, and peptides)
- two deep penetrating forms of hyaluronic acid
- Plantago Lanceolata Leaf extract
This combination of ingredients makes for a powerful trifecta against skin sagging.
But what is Plantago Lanceolata Leaf?
What is Plantago Lanceolata Leaf Extract?
Plantago Lanceolata Leaf Extract is also know as narrow-leaf plantain or ribwort.
Plantago Lanceolata Leaf Extract is a low-growing perennial weed. It is rich in Allantoin, a powerful skin soothing agent that encourages cell growth.[1] It is a wound healing herbal agent in traditional medicine which has anti-inflammatory, anti-irritant, tissue regeneration, astringent, and antioxidant, effects.[2]
How does it help skin sagging?
Plantago Lanceolata Leaf Extract helps maintain the structure of the support network of adipocytes in the face, such as the facial contours like a firm defined jawline and taut cheekbones.
It limits the natural loss of lipids within adipose tissue which occurs as we age. This loss of adipose tissue density makes skin deflate and then sag.

The Experience
PACKAGING
We like the one-pump dispenser design to keep the product fresh. There is a small plug for the dispenser nozzle to keep the product as air tight as possible. One pump of cream is enough for throat, hands or face.
It comes in opaque packaging with an airtight dispenser nozzle
PRODUCT
- Color: white, creamy
- Consistency: It is a dense texture, it starts a bit tacky and takes a bit to dry down, but then is smooth.
- Scent: There is a slight scent upon application, dissipates upon dry down.
- Experience: Makeup or lotion does not pill on top.
Original Sleek Tightening Cream Swatch: a slightly tacky white opaque cream
RESULTS
Most tightening creams leave an opaque film on the skin, this is transparent, so can be worn without makeup on top.
It is excellent for use on hands and throat to reduce age spots, firm and hydrate.
I particularly like how it works on my hands. A regular lotion may make my hands look and feel soft, but doesn’t help signs of aging. Original Sleek Tightening Cream works great on my aged, discolored and wrinkly knuckles are now looking plump and younger.
