Collagen enhances the skin's elasticity, allowing it to bounce back after being stretched, creating a smoother and bouncier more youthful complexion.
Collagen is a complex protein that is a key component of the skin, connective tissues, bones, and various organs in the human body. There are different types of collagen each with specific structures and functions. The two most common types are type I and type II.
Type I makes up 90% of your bodies collagen.
As a skincare ingredient type I and II are derived from animal sources such as bovine or marine collagen.
Lifestyle factors such as diet, hydration, sun protection and exposure to environmental pollution can play an important role in supporting collagen production and maintaining skin health.
Our collagen production naturally decreases with age, contributing to signs of ageing such as wrinkles and sagging skin.
It's important to note that while collagen in skincare products may provide temporary benefits, its molecules can be too large to penetrate deeply into the skin. Therefore, some formulations focus on stimulating the skin's natural collagen production rather than delivering collagen directly.
At Cult51 we do both, we have hydrolysed soluble collagen in our formulas, alongside ingredients that promote your skin’s own production of collagen.
