Every jar of collagen cream has a story—a journey that begins long before it touches your skin. From sourcing potent ingredients to blending them into a transformative formula, creating a collagen cream is as much a science as it is an art. Want to follow this journey step by step, and uncover what makes collagen cream a powerful addition to your skincare routine?
Step 1: The Science of Sourcing
It all begins with the ingredients. A collagen cream’s effectiveness relies on selecting the right combination of peptides, hydrators, and supportive compounds.
-
Hydrolysed Collagen Peptides: These are broken down into smaller chains of amino acids, making them small enough to penetrate the skin and stimulate collagen production.
-
Humectants like Hyaluronic Acid: These ensure the skin stays hydrated, plumping it from within.
-
Prebiotics: Sourced from natural compounds, these support your skin’s microbiome, reducing redness and inflammation.
-
Antioxidants: Vitamin C and E are added to neutralize free radicals and protect your skin from environmental stressors.
Each ingredient is chosen for its specific role, creating a formula that delivers both immediate hydration and long-term skin health.
Step 2: Precision Formulation
Once the ingredients are sourced, they’re blended in precise proportions to maximize their effectiveness. This process involves:
-
Testing for Synergy: Ensuring peptides, humectants, and antioxidants work together harmoniously.
-
Adjusting for Skin Sensitivity: Removing harsh chemicals and irritants to create a gentle, effective formula suitable for all skin types.
-
Stability Testing: Confirming that the cream retains its potency over time, even when exposed to light, air, or temperature changes.
This meticulous process is why our Prebiotic and all-natural, plant-based collagen cream feels luxurious yet effective—it’s the result of scientific precision and care.
Step 3: The Transformation on Your Skin
The journey doesn’t end when you open the jar. In fact, it’s just beginning.
When You Apply Collagen Cream:
-
Penetration: Hydrolyzed peptides penetrate the epidermis, signaling fibroblasts to produce more natural collagen.
-
Hydration: Humectants draw moisture into the skin, plumping fine lines and improving elasticity.
-
Barrier Strengthening: Prebiotics balance the skin’s microbiome, reducing irritation and supporting resilience.
Over time, the cream works to rebuild and restore your skin’s natural structure, transforming dullness and dryness into radiance and resilience.
Step 4: Sustainability Matters
Behind the scenes, there’s another important part of the journey: sustainability. Many collagen creams, including our Prebiotic and all-natural, plant-based collagen cream, focus on using sustainably sourced ingredients and eco-friendly packaging (glass) to reduce environmental impact.
Why does this matter? Because great skincare shouldn’t come at the cost of the planet. Supporting brands with sustainable practices ensures that every step of the journey—from creation to application—is thoughtful and ethical.
Step 5: Your Skincare Ritual
The final step of the journey is in your hands—literally. How you use collagen cream can make all the difference.
Morning:
-
Apply a pea-sized amount to clean, damp skin. Massage gently in upward motions.
-
Follow with sunscreen to protect against collagen-depleting UV rays.
Evening:
-
Use it as the last step in your nighttime routine to lock in hydration and support repair while you sleep.
Pro Tip: Extend application to your neck and décolletage for an all-over glow.
A Cream That’s Worth the Journey
From the lab to your skin, collagen cream is a product of careful sourcing, formulation, and testing. It’s designed to fit seamlessly into your routine, supporting your skin at every stage of life.
So the next time you open a jar of our Prebiotic and all-natural, plant-based collagen cream take a moment to appreciate the journey it took to get there—and the journey it’s about to take your skin on.
