Collagen is an essential protein found in the skin, bones and joints. In the skin, it's the main component of the dermis, providing firmness, elasticity and resilience. With age, natural collagen production declines, leading to sagging skin, wrinkles and loss of tone.
Skincare containing collagen, or ingredients that stimulate its production, helps skin plump up, firm up and regain its natural radiance.
In these products, you may find animal collagen, often of bovine or marine origin (fish, shellfish), widely used in cosmetics and dietary supplements. It is close to the natural structure of our skin and can support firmness and elasticity, but its extraction can have environmental impacts and it isn't suitable for vegetarians or people sensitive to animal-derived ingredients.
Plant-based collagen, such as PhytoCollagen, is a 100 % plant-based alternative, derived from plant extracts. It stimulates natural collagen production, while plumping, firming and hydrating the skin. Rich in plant-based active ingredients and antioxidants, it helps protect the skin against oxidative stress and promotes a long-lasting youthful effect, with an ethical, vegan and eco-friendly approach.
At Les Petits Prödiges, we chose phytocollagen for proven effectiveness, while respecting skin, animals and the planet.
