Collagen is a vital protein for maintaining skin health and elasticity,
but a common question remains:
how does collagen applied externally actually penetrate the skin?
If you’re still unsure whether collagen can be absorbed through the skin, keep reading—this might change your mind!
Understanding Skin Structure
Our skin consists of multiple layers,
with the dermis serving as the main reservoir of collagen.
Typical collagen molecules are quite large, which makes it difficult for them
to penetrate the skin’s outermost layer, the stratum corneum.
This is why certain conditions need to be met for collagen products
to be effective on the skin.
500 Dalton rules
The 500 Dalton Rule is a principle in skincare and dermatology suggesting
that only molecules with a molecular weight under 500 Daltons (Da) can penetrate the skin’s outermost layer, the stratum corneum, and be absorbed effectively.
Molecules larger than 500 Da are generally too large to pass through this protective barrier, which means they cannot penetrate deeply or deliver active ingredients to the deeper layers of the skin.
Collagen in Biodance Mask
The Biodance Bio Collagen Real Deep Mask contains
234 Dalton Low-Molecular Weight Collagen Peptide, which is more than twice as small as the market average of 500 Daltons, ensuring dramatic absorption.
Why Fish Collagen?
Biodance’s collagen is not simply extracted from fish scales,
but from the fish body with the head and tail removed.
So there are less impurities and allergic reactions are significantly low.
When choosing a collagen product, remember to check out not only the content, but also the size & type of collagen that influence the direct absorption and effects on the skin.
Benefits of Collagen
Once absorbed into the skin, collagen helps address various skin concerns
in the following ways:
-
Improves Skin Elasticity
Collagen supports skin structure, increasing elasticity and helping to reduce wrinkles.
-
Maintains Moisture
It boosts the skin’s moisture content, preventing dryness and keeping it hydrated.
-
Reduces Wrinkles
Collagen supplementation effectively minimizes wrinkles and fine lines that naturally develop with age.
-
Promotes Skin Regeneration
Collagen plays a vital role in wound healing and skin regeneration, aiding in the recovery from skin damage.
-
Improves Skin Tone
It enhances overall skin health, helping to maintain an even and radiant skin tone.
Absorption Enhancing Ingredients
The Biodance Collagen Mask contains not only collagen
but also ultra-low molecular weight hyaluronic acid and fermented filtrates.
Hyaluronic acid plays a crucial role in optimizing the skin’s environment to promote collagen production. Research indicates that hyaluronic acid supports collagen synthesis within skin tissues, enhancing structural integrity.
Based on these findings, we formulated the Collagen Mask to include both collagen and hyaluronic acid.
High molecular weight hyaluronic acid struggles to penetrate deeply, so we used ultra-low molecular weight oligo-hyaluronic acid to ensure it reaches the skin’s deeper layers.
This hyaluronic acid combines with ultra-low molecular weight 243 Da collagen, creating a synergistic effect to reinforce the skin from within, providing deep resilience and firmness.
