Soluble Collagen

moisturising hydration

overview

Soluble Collagen, extracted from fish or bovine skin, is a large molecule that acts as a humectant and moisturizer. It forms a water-rich film on the skin, providing hydration and reducing water loss. It is gentle and non-irritating, making it suitable for use in cleansers to reduce irritation caused by surfactants. It also helps in wound healing by boosting microcirculation. It is also used as a conductive gel in microcurrent devices, enhancing the effectiveness of the treatment.

benefits

Moisturizer: Soluble Collagen forms a water-rich film on the skin, providing intense hydration and improving skin smoothness. Humectant: It has a tremendous water binding capacity, helping to retain moisture in the skin and reduce trans-epidermal-water loss. Gentle and Non-Irritating: Soluble Collagen is gentle on the skin and does not cause irritation, making it suitable for sensitive skin types. Anti-aging: It can act like a filler, decreasing the size of fine lines and wrinkles. Wound Healing: Soluble Collagen aids with wound healing by boosting microcirculation, which means acne sufferers may see less scarring and faster fading of blemishes. Conductive Gel: Soluble Collagen is also used as a conductive gel in microcurrent devices. It helps in the smooth gliding of the device on the skin and enhances the effectiveness of the treatment.

additional info

Soluble Collagen is a large molecule that cannot penetrate the middle layer of the skin where collagen is present. Therefore, it does not directly contribute to anti-aging benefits related to collagen. Collagen is the most abundant protein in mammal tissue. Bovine Collagen type I has been used for centuries in medical applications. It is a key raw material for numerous medical devices and can be found for instance as surgical haemostatics, in Bone Void Fillers, and in dermal regeneration matrices. It can be sourced from various animal species and tissues.
