Marines Collages
At a glance: Skin-tightening peptides from the sea for more elasticity and firmness.
Origin: Marine collagen is extracted from fish skin and scales, ideally from sustainable fishing or aquaculture. For vegan alternatives, there are also plant-based collagen boosters that stimulate the body's own collagen production.
Characteristics:
- Contains low molecular weight peptides
- High bioavailability
- Rich in amino acids such as glycine, proline and hydroxyproline
- Soluble and easy to integrate into formulations
Effect on the skin:
- Supports skin structure and improves elasticity
- Reduces fine lines and wrinkles
- Promotes skin hydration and binds water in the skin.
- Improves skin firmness and density
- Supports skin regeneration
Special features:
- Marine collagen peptides have a smaller molecular size than other collagen sources, which allows for better absorption.
- Marine collagen is often combined with other active ingredients such as antioxidants or hyaluronic acid to enhance its anti-aging effect.
Ideal for: Mature skin, skin with loss of elasticity, fine lines and wrinkles.
Sustainability aspect: Sustainable marine collagen is obtained from byproducts of fish processing that would otherwise be discarded, thus contributing to waste reduction. When selecting marine collagen for ecoCert-certified products, it is important to ensure sustainable fisheries or aquaculture and to guarantee traceability.
