Collagen is a protein that only exists in the animal kingdom, but for this serum, we have chosen a vegan alternative. It is a synergy of amino acids and peptides of natural, non-animal origin, biomimetic of human collagen. The amino acids used are obtained by hydrolysis of plant proteins and the biomimetic peptides are produced by bio-fermentation from yeast and reproduce the amino acid sequences of human collagen.
Collagen is a fibrous protein made up of three polypeptide chains. These peptide chains contain very specific combinations of amino acids linked together by peptide bonds. The vegan collagen we have selected is made up of peptides reproducing the same amino acid sequences as our skin's natural collagen, with assemblies such as Proline - Glutamine - Glycine, Proline - Lysine - Glycine and Proline - Glutamic Acid - Glycine.
The blend of vegan collagen in the form of peptides and amino acids can be compared to collagen fragments that are easily assimilated by the skin. Unlike whole collagen protein, which is too large to pass through the skin, these fragments will penetrate all the layers of the epidermis, even the deepest, to deliver their firming, densifying and anti-ageing action.
