Collagen is a crucial element for the appearance and health of the skin: it ensures its firmness, suppleness, and radiance. It prevents the skin from sagging, facilitates its natural hydration and promotes its regeneration. In summary, it contributes to maintaining a healthy and youthful skin. As we age, collagen production decreases, which can lead to a loss of skin elasticity, wrinkles, and fine lines.
What is Collagen?
Collagen is an important structural protein naturally present in the skin that helps maintain its firmness and elasticity. It plays a major role in the structure of tissues, as it gives them resistance to stretching. Unlike animal collagen, which is often derived from skin, bones, our vegetable collagen is derived from plants such as soy, wheat, corn and coconut. It is also non-GMO. This combination gives it similar properties to collagen naturally formed in the body.

How to use Collagen?
Although our bodies naturally produce collagen, this production is limited. Between the ages of 20 and 30, the skin naturally begins to produce less and less collagen. This production decreases by about 1,5% per year at age 25, and up to 30% per year after age 70. This decrease is due to cell fatigue linked to the passage of time, as well as to oxidative stress that leaves its mark. Free radicals generated by pollution and UV rays damage the protein hinder its formation. The presence of the collagen in Oceanly make-up range means that we can once again benefit from its many aesthetic advantages.
