Choose the right collagen

Collagen – a word that has been trending across various industries in recent years, especially in cosmetics. With a flood of collagen products entering the market, it can be challenging for an average consumer to discern which ones are truly effective and worth the investment. Sometimes, even the final price isn’t an indicator of quality. So, what should you focus on when selecting a collagen product? Here's a helpful guide.

1. Quality of the Raw Material

• Source of Collagen: Always ask about the animal source from which the collagen is derived. For cosmetic purposes, marine collagen, extracted from fish skin, is recommended. It contains a lower amount of proline and hydroxyproline compared to collagen from mammals, making it more absorbable and beneficial for the skin.

2. Collagen Processing Technology

• Heat Sensitivity: Collagen, like any protein, is highly sensitive to temperature. When heated, it loses its bioactive properties. Therefore, avoid products that have undergone any form of heat treatment.
• Cold Extraction: Look for collagen that is processed through cold extraction methods. For example, our products use patented cold extraction at just 16°C, preserving all the biologically valuable components from the fish skin.

3. Product Composition

• Active Ingredients: Check whether the product contains only collagen or also collagen peptides. Additionally, does it include vitamin C and other essential nutrients necessary for optimal collagen absorption?

4. Concentration of Active Substances

• Effective Dosages: Ensure that the product contains sufficient concentrations of active ingredients to deliver the desired effect. For instance, our products are formulated with physiological concentrations, which allow for a faster onset of results.

5. Carrier of Bioactive Substances

• Delivery to Deeper Skin Layers: Consider the form in which the active ingredients are delivered. Do they penetrate deep enough into the skin to be truly effective? For example, we use liposomes, which help bioactive ingredients reach the deeper layers of the skin, enhancing their effectiveness.

Conclusion: Choosing the Right Collagen Product

When choosing a collagen product, it’s important to recognize that while the market offers a wide range of options, not all products are equally effective. We recommend avoiding the cheapest variants, as the complex extraction methods required to maintain collagen's bioactivity are expensive. Low prices often indicate the use of simpler, less effective processes, which significantly reduce the product’s efficacy.

At the same time, be cautious of overly expensive products that may reflect more on their marketing budgets than their production quality. Instead, opt for products with high-quality ingredients at a reasonable price, ensuring that you get the desired results without breaking the bank. After all, you shouldn't have to search for the effects with a microscope!
