It is a bioengineered form of collagen, produced through recombinant DNA technology to mimic natural human collagen, specifically Type-3, which is found predominantly in the skin, blood vessels, and other connective tissues.

It is produced by inserting the human gene responsible for Type-3 collagen synthesis into host cells, typically bacteria or yeast, which then produce the collagen in a controlled environment.

It offers higher purity, reduces the risk of allergenicity or zoonotic transmission, and provides more consistent quality, making it a safer and more reliable alternative for cosmetic formulations.

It supports skin elasticity, hydration, and firmness. It can also promote skin regeneration and reduce the appearance of wrinkles, making it ideal for anti-aging products.

Type-3 collagen is primarily involved in the skin’s structural integrity, especially in wound healing and tissue repair. It complements Type-1 collagen but is more specific to supporting youthful skin texture and elasticity.

Yes, it is generally well-tolerated by all skin types, including sensitive and aging skin, due to its bio-identical nature to human collagen.

It is commonly used in serums, creams, and masks aimed at skin rejuvenation, hydration, and anti-aging. It may also be included in formulations for hair and scalp care.

Yes, it is biodegradable and does not pose significant environmental concerns, aligning with sustainability goals in personal care.

Yes, it works synergistically with many common actives such as hyaluronic acid, peptides, and antioxidants, enhancing the overall efficacy of skincare formulations.

Challenges may include ensuring proper formulation techniques to maintain stability and bioactivity, as well as managing the higher cost of production. However, the benefits in efficacy and safety often outweigh these challenges.
