Description

Pseudo Collagen mimics the action of collagen but uses brewers yeast to give greater elasticity, more resilience and a youthful look to skin.

Characteristics

Pseudo Collagen is plant derived (cruelty-free) sugars and proteins (Glycoproteins). Collagen is too big a molecule to be absorbed directly, but this plant based alternative does penetrate into the layers of the skin and hair to make a very noticeable improvement.

Chemistry

Aqueous solution of a combination of mainly intracellular proteins, peptides and amino acids derived from a natural, specially-selected strain of yeast (saccharomyces cerevisiae). Its revitalizing capacity strengthens the skin's natural ability to protect itself against damaging environmental influences
