Collagen
INCI Name: Hydrolyzed collagen
Collagen makes up around 80% of our skin. Together with elastin (another protein) it’s what gives our skin strength and is vital for maintaining elasticity. Largely present in the middle layer of the skin (the dermis), Collagen has many benefits for our skin, keeping it firm, plump and supple. It’s also essential in our skin’s natural renewal process, shedding old skin cells and making way for new ones. Collagen can not be absorbed throuh skin due to it’s large molecular size.
To ensure your body gets all the collagen it can from supplements or skincare, opt for collagen peptides or hydrolyzed collagen. This alternative includes fragments of animal-derived collagen. Breaking down collagen makes it easier for the body to absorb in its entirety than collagen taken as a complete protein.
