The water soluble, marine-based ingredient is said to contain marine collagen and elastin peptides in the same ratio found naturally in skin and is said to provide a synergistic anti-wrinkle action which lifts and tones sagging skin, as well as minimising lines and wrinkles and increasing the skin’s moisture retention. It is said to be suitable for beauty drinks and other beauty from within formulations.
“We are excited to bring this natural anti-wrinkle ingredient to the American nutricosmetics market,” commented Laurent Leduc, vp, Frutarom USA’s health division. “This opens up new opportunities for companies seeking to expand their product line into personal care.”
