Aroma-Zone biomimetic Collagen Peptides and amino acids Active Ingredient

INCI Name: Biomimetic human collagen peptides INCI= Sh-polypeptide-123

Biomimetic collagen amino acids INCI=Collagen Amino Acid

VEGAN

BIOCHEMICAL COMPOSITION

The major amino acids that make up the collagen naturally present in the skin are proline, hydroxyproline, glycine, and hydroxylysine. Biomimetic collagen peptides are complexes containing these amino acids and replicating the amino acid profile of our skin’s collagen.

TRACEABILITY & SUSTAINABILITY

Naturally derived active ingredient. The biomimetic collagen peptides used in cosmetics at Aroma-Zone are produced using biotechnology. The collagen amino acids are produced through the fermentation of sugars and the hydrolysis of plant proteins.

Collagen is a structural protein found in connective tissues, such as cartilage and the dermis. Within the dermis, collagen forms a network with elastin and hyaluronic acid, which gels upon contact with water. It makes the skin firm, elastic, and plump. Collagen levels tend to decrease with age. Unfortunately, collagen molecules are too large to be absorbed by the skin when incorporated into cosmetics. This is why ingredients containing smaller fragments of collagen have been developed: collagen peptides and collagen amino acids.

Collagen peptides and amino acids do not spontaneously reform collagen, but they offer other benefits: thanks to their high affinity for water, they improve skin hydration. They stimulate the production of collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid, as well as the proliferation of epidermal cells, accelerating skin regeneration. Wrinkles are reduced, and the skin is firmer and plumper.

Biomimetic collagen peptides have proven efficacy in firming, toning, and redensifying the skin; reducing signs of ageing (wrinkles, fine lines, loss of firmness, lack of elasticity), improving skin hydration and enhancing the skin’s barrier function by strengthening the structure of extracellular lipids (reinforces the skin’s lipid barrier) for redensified, restructured, more supple, and softer skin. It promotes skin repair and stimulates the proliferation of keratinocytes (skin cells) for regenerated skin. It penetrates into the deep layers of the epidermis, thanks to the low molecular weight of the peptides and amino acids.

A Note from Adeline Nalin, Head Pharmacist and Toxicologist at Aroma-Zone

“Biomimetic collagen peptides and amino acids exhibit excellent skin biocompatibility, even on sensitive skin, due to their molecular structure, which is similar to that of the endogenous collagen found in the dermis. This tolerance has been demonstrated up to a concentration of 1.2% in our facial serum.  Collagen improves elasticity and hydration and visibly reduces the signs of ageing.”

A Note from Our Aroma-Zone Toxicologist

“Collagen is a molecule composed of three polypeptide chains, each containing approximately 1,000 amino acids in a primary sequence rich in proline, hydroxyproline, and hydroxylysine. It is the main component of the skin (accounting for 70 to 80% of the dry weight of the dermis) and connective tissue, and constitutes the organic substance of bones and teeth. It is therefore considered safe for human health.”

A Note from the Dermatologist

“Biomimetic collagen peptides and amino acids are ‘high-tech’ active ingredients that mimic the natural components of our skin and help stimulate collagen production and improve skin elasticity.

They’re great to incorporate into an anti-ageing routine, especially if you’re looking to improve your skin’s hydration, texture, and elasticity. They’re well-tolerated and therefore suitable for all skin types.

Tip: For best results, apply regularly under your moisturiser.”

Dr. Dima Haidar - Dermatologist

Since collagen is a large protein composed of multiple peptides and amino acids, its entire molecule cannot penetrate the skin. In formulations, biomimetic peptides are therefore used, which replicate a specific collagen sequence also found in marine collagen. They are also easy to formulate, pose no particular constraints, and provide effective hydration. Finally, combining amino acids with the peptide further enhances its effects and optimises its performance on the skin.

This active ingredient is suitable for the first signs of ageing, mature skin, and dehydrated skin.

Address wrinkles and fine lines, improve skin elasticity, reduce skin dehydration. 

• Firms the facial contours

• Reduces the depth and width of wrinkles

• Stimulates skin regeneration

• Hydrates the skin.

1.5% AA Collagen Serum

Concentrated at 1.5% vegan collagen, this firming and anti-wrinkle serum is ideal for mature and sagging skin. Its biomimetic complex of peptides and amino acids acts deeply to promote regeneration, redensification, and repair. When used with the Collagen Cream, it reduces wrinkles and sagging, intensely hydrates thanks to hyaluronic acid, and leaves the skin visibly smoother, softer, and firmer.

Pro Collagen & Copper Peptide Serum Pearls

Our Pro Collagen and Copper Peptide Pearls are clinically proven to deliver regenerated and visibly rejuvenated skin in as little as 7 days. With a single application, they provide an instant tightening and smoothing effect, ideal for transforming the skin before an event. As an intensive treatment, the skin is firmer, plumper, and wrinkles are reduced.

Rich Vegan Collagen & Spilanthes Cream

Wrinkles reduced, skin redensified, facial contours redefined, neck reshaped: this certified organic anti-ageing collagen cream has proven efficacy against 8 signs of ageing. Designed for mature skin, its innovative formula combines firming and lifting vegan collagen, Spilanthes extract with a plant-based "Botox-like" anti-wrinkle and smoothing effect, and plumping and hydrating hyaluronic acid.
