PREVENTIVE Care
+13% collagen Boost in young skin, with 1% SYN®-COLL CB (In vivo proven)
It's all about sustainable, effective and lifelong care
Standards in the beauty industry aren’t just getting higher, they’re changing scope. Today’s conscious consumers expect the highest standards in scientifically proven performance, transparency and sustainability. Also, Medical beauty is emerging as one of the most prominent trends of today. - Consumers worldwide are increasingly seeking products that promote skin health by addressing the root causes of common skin concerns.
This heightened focus on skin health is also reshaping approaches to skincare at different life stages. For more mature consumers, the priority is longevity - beyond reducing wrinkles, consumers are passionate about slow-aging and keeping skin looking healthy. Younger consumers meanwhile, are more focused on prevention. They are taking a proactive approach, seeking out products to protect their skin’s health and appearance from an early stage in life.
SYN®-COLL CB
The next generation of eco-conscious, high-performance skincare peptides
Designed for sustainable formulations, SYN®-COLL CB is a patented natural-origin tripeptide created under Green Chemistry principles. It helps to slow the skin’s aging process by mimicking the body’s own mechanism to boost collagen and protect the skin against its degradation throughout life.
A pharma-inspired solution, capable of providing firmer, smoother and more sculpted skin at every stage of life's journey.
Scientifically proven results in young, middle-aged and mature skins
SYN®-COLL CB acts on TGF-β to boost and protect skin’s collagen reserves and slow down the aging process from within. Previously, it has been shown to improve skin firmness and texture in subjects aged 40+, across different ethnicities, in just 4 weeks. Now, with new studies and new collagen mapping technology, our studies show how SYN®-COLL CB can deliver targeted benefits to younger and older consumers at different concentrations, from age 25 upwards.
The results of a study conducted with volunteers of mixed ethnicities and with different ages, demonstrated the significant impact of SYN®-COLL CB on skin collagen reserves over time vs. placebo in all age groups evaluated - especially in the mature group. Our in vivo studies also demonstrate SYN®-COLL CB power to protect skin against UV-induced collagen degradation.
