What is used in our formulas?
Marine hydrolyzed collagen with a low molecular weight contains oligopeptide fractions with a great ability to interact with the skin and hair.
- Low molecular weight collagen fractions with a high level of oligopeptides (mainly 0.3 to 2 KDa)
- Oligopeptides (Glycine, Proline and Hydroxyproline) with high concentrations of essential amino acids
What are the scientific claims in regards of percutaneous penetration?
- Help increase Collagen I in human skin (ex vivo)
- Contribute to increase Collagen III in human skin (ex vivo)
- Help boost hyaluronic acid in human skin. (ex vivo)
Studies that support our claims:
- Low Molecular weight Collagen : Hydrolyzed Collagen has a low molecular weight that allows them to travel down to the dermis.
Very low molecular weight collagen fractions (<1000Daltons) typically represent 40% of the total composition, and low molecular weight fractions (1000-2000 Daltons) represent 30% of the selected Marine Hydrolyzed Collagen.
- Collagen I Expression :
- Culture: ex vivo human skin , female, 62 years old
- Application: Marine Hydrolyzed Collagen twice a day for 72 hours
- Evaluation: immunodetection of collagen I
Results: Skin treated with Marine Hydrolyzed Collagen shows a more intense green staining intensity, suggesting an increased quantity of collagen I in the dermis of ex VIVO human skin.
- Collagen III Expression :
- Culture: ex vivo human skin , female, 62 years old
- Application: Marine Hydrolyzed Collagen twice a day for 72 hours
- Evaluation: immunodetection of collagen III
Results: Skin treated with Marine Hydrolyzed Collagen shows a more intense green staining intensity, suggesting an increased quantity of collagen I in the dermis of ex VIVO human skin.
- Hyaluronic Acid Expression:
- Culture: ex vivo human skin , female, 62 years old
- Application: Marine Hydrolyzed Collagen twice a day for 72 hours
- Evaluation: Fluorescent staining
Results: Marine Hydrolyzed Collagen may help increase the quantity of hyaluronic acid in ex vivo human skin.
