Collagen is a protein. It gives our skin its basic structure and firmness and is responsible for skin hydration, elasticity and resilience. Young skin has high collagen production. As we age, this amount decreases. This starts around age 25 and then accelerates, especially in women after menopause.
In addition to age, external factors such as the sun, blue light and excessive sugar consumption or high-carbohydrate foods cause collagen fibers in the skin to break down. The more collagen is lost, the more the connective tissue, and thus the skin, loses strength and flexibility.
Type 1, 2 or 3?
Up to 90 percent of the collagen in the body is type 1, the filling collagen found in skin, connective tissue, bones and blood vessel walls. Type 2 collagen is known for promoting joint health. Type 3 is the support collagen and improves the structure of the skin, muscles, organs and blood vessels.
Collagen in cosmetics
Plant or animal collagens are used in skin care, of which desamido collagen has a visible effect. Because its molecules are quite large, it is sometimes less able to penetrate deeply into the skin. However, additional active ingredients have steadily increased the action of this collagen. Craith Lab, with its combination of collagen, hyaluronic acid and the epigenetic EpiTech® formula, has marketed highly effective anti-aging products. This collagen type stimulates the production of type 1 collagen.
How does it differ from existing collagen?
Bionetic Collagen adds type 3 collagen directly to the skin and stimulates the body's own production of type 1 collagen. This is one of the reasons why Bionetic Collagen is 200 times more effective than conventional collagens. Bionetic Collagen is not only more effective but also completely free of any animal source material, thus vegan.
Where can I find it?
The Type 3 collagen is used in the highly effective Bionetic Collagen® Serum and in the Bionetic Collagen Cream®, which further enhances the effect of the serum. In addition, Craith Lab offers Bionetic Collagen Bullets with a very high concentration of Craith Lab Complex®. The Bionetic Collagen Bullets are used as an extra boost treatment in Bionetic skincare. Craith Lab is a brand for cosmetic professionals. With all the products in the Craith Lab collection, you get the best results when you combine home care with professional treatments from your Craith Lab aesthetician.
