Breakthrough in Cosmetology

NATURAL COLLAGEN For many years, the laboratories of the leading cosmetics firms searched for a form of biologically active collagen that could penetrate the protective barrier of the skin’s epidermis, building a network of protein scaffolds to strengthen the skin. Huge sums were spent on biological engineering so that something under the name ‘collagen’ could be found within cosmetics. This resulted in ‘carrion peptides’ obtained from calves necks whose hydrolytes were added to creams and elixirs.

However, this research did not fulfill expectations. Bovine collagen does not make its way through the epidermis because it is biologically dead. So by the end of the 20th century the bovine collagen had lost its good reputation among the cosmetologists.

Now, finally there is a new generation of collagen in the world of cosmetology and dermatology. Discovered in Poland it is something quite different from the five-level fibril mush, known up to now. It is a hydrate, from a tri-level collagen solution obtained from sweet water fish. This is the only biologically active collagen with the structure of amino acid chains identical to human. The first cosmetic product in the world based on fish collagen with the unique formula Q 5-26. This product – Natural Collagen – possesses epidermis repair properties and does not lose the key to its secret, i.e. the triple helix, at room temperatures. The collagen is obtained from skins of the noblest sweet water fish, caught in natural reservoirs and filtered through silk fibroins

True Elixir of Youth

The unique Natural Collagen formula Q 5-26 is a water solution of collagen and elastin with an additive of ethyl-, methyl-, propylparaben as a natural preservative (cranberry extract) and lactic acid. The fact that the producer decided not to use any coloring and fragrance is not caused by ecologically friendly attitude, but it is caused by the concern to protect the triple helix. Lactic acid is the only acid which does not endanger fiber spatial structure and acts as acceleration in exfoliation of the epidermis and spots brightening.

Collagen is the most important protein, not only for the human body but for all the vertebrates. It constitutes 30% of the total human protein mass. Collagen is the main component of the most important tissue in our lives – the connective tissue. We all know how important blood is to the organism but very few are aware that our bodies literally swim in collagen – our tissues are submerged in collagen.

When asked the question of what is the largest human organ – most of us would not point to the skin which covers and protects our body as well as serves our organism in excretion, emission and respiration. In fact 70% of skin protein is also collagen which is responsible for skin firmness, elasticity, proper moisture and constant renovation of skin cells. Collagen deficit increases with age, causing among other things, skin wrinkling.

Trials, using initially synthetic and later bovine collagen in cosmetics and implantology, brought only partial success. This is mainly due to the fact that so far no biologically active collagen with the structure of amino acid chains identical to human has been developed.

Such collagen has been developed in Poland!

Such collagen has now been developed – the first cosmetic product in the world based on fish collagen with the unique formula Q 5-26. This product possesses epidermis repair properties and does not lose the key to its secret, i.e. the triple helix, at room temperature.

The collagen is obtained from skins of the noblest fish, caught in fresh water reservoirs, and filtered through silk fibroins. This entirely natural preparation has no coloring and no aromatic additives. It is a unique line of products containing the highest quantity of pure collagen is the only one that can match any expensive cosmetic product in the world.
