AC Marine Collagen PF

Science

• Collagen is created by fibroblasts, specialized cells found in the dermal layer of the skin

• Fibroblasts are responsible for the production of collagen, elastin, and fibronectin that act as the structural support beams within the skin

• Fibroblasts synthesize collagen within the cell and release it through exocytosis• A process by which molecules diffuse through the cell membrane

• Once outside the cell, the collagen molecules will self-assemble, creating the same structures found in skin

AC Marine Collagen PF

Benefits

• Restore one’s youthful appearance by hydrating the skin and helping to increase its natural collagen production

• Can be easily incorporated into the water phase

• Can be used in a wide variety of personal care formulas

• Marine collagen is capitalizing on what is arguably the most profound trend in cosmetics in the last decade

Improvements in Compatability

AC Marine Collagen PF

Protocol• Concentration: 5.0%

• Increased the sensorial perception of wet combing ease by 90.0%

• Participants rated the control as increasing combability by 40.0% and the test material as increasing dry combability by 50.0%

• Useful for preventing damage and breakage which typically results from excessive combing forces during styling

AC Marine Collagen PF

Protocol• AC Marine Collagen PF exhibited

antioxidant activity comparable to 100μM Trolox®

• AC Marine Collagen PF increased as the concentration increased, as a result we can assure that its ability to minimize oxidative stress is dose dependent

• Ingredient is not only capable of providing functional benefits but it is also capable of providing potent antioxidant benefits when added to cosmetic applications

Protocol• Human dermal fibroblasts were seeded

into 24-well tissue culture plates

• AA2G and IGF-1 were used a positive controls

• Concentrations: 1.0%, 0.1%, 0.01%

• AC Marine Collagen PF exhibited positive collagen synthesis activity

• The increase in collagen production may lead to improvement in the dermal-epidermal junction integrity as well as an improved scaffolding matrix
