Why collagen is a skincare essential

Why collagen is a skincare essential Collagen is a bit of a skincare buzzword. You've probably heard it used on fancy TV ads and in glossy magazines, but what is it and does it actually work? Here's the lowdown. What is collagen and why is it important? Collagen is found naturally in the body and acts as a building block; a structural protein supporting our skin, muscles, bones and cartilage.

How collagen supplements work Our natural collagen production requires amino acids in our fibroblast cells. This is exactly why Kollo uses a hydrolysed marine collagen (a form that has been broken down into molecules that can be easily absorbed into the body) to...

So we’re here to give you the basics of marine collagen, what it does and why you might need to invest in some.
