Although heavily associated, collagen is not just about aesthetics. It supports wound healing, hydration, and overall skin health. When collagen levels are optimal, the skin behaves like it did in its prime - supple, resilient, luminous from within.
The beauty industry has long sought to replace or replicate this structure topically. But here’s the truth: collagen molecules are too large to penetrate the skin. Applying it directly won’t replenish what’s been lost. What we can do, however, is stimulate our body’s natural collagen production; in other words, we can encourage regeneration from within.
Here’s where science meets ritual. Collagen can be supported, not through quick fixes, but through sustained, intelligent choices.
1. Topical stimulation:
Certain active ingredients have been shown to encourage collagen production. Vitamin C, for example, is a cofactor in collagen synthesis, essential for stabilising and cross-linking its fibres. The Bakuchiol (our plant-derived alternative) increases cellular turnover and fibroblast activity. Peptides, meanwhile, act as messengers, signalling the skin to produce more collagen.
