Collagen
Collagen is a protein. In cosmetics it is used as a skin-conditioning ingredient that helps products feel smooth on the skin.
What it is
Collagen is the main structural protein in skin. Cosmetic collagen is usually broken down into smaller pieces (hydrolysed collagen) and comes from animal or marine sources.
Why it's used
In leave-on products it is used for its conditioning, smooth feel. The manufacturer says it supports a smooth, supple feel in this toner.
Good to know
- Putting collagen on the skin is not the same as the body making its own collagen. Treat it as a conditioning ingredient.
- If the source matters to you (for example marine or animal), check the pack or ask us.
