To keep your hair, skin, and nails looking their best, there’s one ingredient to prioritize: collagen. Collagen is a long-chain amino acid and the primary structural protein found in skin, hair, nails, bones, and connective tissue. Our body contains 16 different types of collagen (the most popular being type-I, stored in muscles, bones, the digestive tract, and tendons), and it’s known to support joint health, skin elasticity, digestion, and more. Unfortunately, it naturally declines as we age, which is why we offer collagen-packed clean skin care for every need.

Collagen 101

Before picking out your new favorite products, here’s a quick collagen primer. Collagen is naturally produced in the bodies of animals (particularly mammals) and is typically obtained through cooking procedures, which produce gelatin. Bovine collagen (produced in cows) is most commonly used in supplements while marine collagen (extracted from cold water fish like salmon) is typically used in skin care products since it’s easily absorbed. All collagen is available in many forms to suit your needs, including powders, gelatin, and capsules.
