BACKGROUND

New methods for promoting youthful skin are constantly being developed and fittingly, what is old is new again. Almost forced out of the market due to animal-derivative product objections, Collagen is having its second coming-out party and is dressed to impress! Finally, consumers can adorn their product shelves with a fully comparable, non-animal derived collagen. FSS Vegetable Collagen PF boasts the identical benefits users experience with animal-derived collagen, including the same appearance and consistency, without the unfavorable implementation of living creatures. Animal lovers unite! It’s your turn to reap the same formfilling, hydrating and conditioning skin benefits as your soluble collagen counterparts. So let’s celebrate this cosmetic breakthrough because photo-exposure resulting in collagen degradation is unavoidable, but reviving and conditioning the skin without animal-derivates is no longer unimaginable. Say no to new wrinkles and bye-bye to existing ones when you apply FSS Vegetable Collagen PF.

SCIENCE

Recognized as one of the most essential and fibrous proteins, collagen is fundamental in maintaining the structural makeup of humans. Find this protein in most major elements of the skin, bones, cartilage and even teeth. Since its debut, collagen has been produced using animal based derivatives. However, growing awareness and support of animal rights in addition to the Natural/ Organic movement has prompted formulators to create a product featuring comparable skin benefits to that of bovine or porcine derived collagen. Finally, available technology employing vegetable and plant derivatives is being used to spearhead the second collagen movement.

Collagen forms insoluble fibers of high tensile strength intended to provide resistance and offer an elastic force over the skin. Collagen is created by fibroblasts which are special cells found in the dermal layer of the skin. Fibroblasts are responsible for the production of collagen, elastin and fibronectin. These three connective proteins serve as the structural support beams within the skin. Fibroblasts synthesize collagen within the cell and release it through exocytosis or the dispersion of molecules through the cell membrane. Once outside the cell, the collagen will selfassemble, creating the strong structure found within the skin.

In the nature of a true innovation, formulators rose to the challenge and discovered vegetable collagen, derived from corn, soy and wheat proteins. Finding a comparable product to animal-derived collagen not only allows manufacturers to capitalize on the recognized benefits of traditional collagen, it endorses marketing of natural, plant-derived products that offer equivalent hydrating, conditioning and form-filling benefits.
