Dr. Grandel developed two new skincare treasures with exciting, innovative active ingredients that create the 'Pro Collagen Code'!
What is the 'Pro Collagen Code' exactly?
As we know, Collagen is one of the most important structural proteins in several connective tissues of our body. It is found in the extracellular matrix and depending on the Type of Collagen, it is produced by Fibroblasts, Osteoblasts, Odontoblasts, etc. There are 16 Types of Collagen but Type I and Type III are the major ones in the skin. Thus, Collagen is focus in the Beauty Industry right after Hyaluron which indirectly also focuses on Collagen since it is needed to keep the fibers nourished, hydrated and smooth.
But most are mainly focusing on the synthesis/ production of Collagen, not necessarily on its maintenance. On the contrary, the 'Pro Collagen Code' does it all: it is constructing Collagen Fibers, protecting them and strengthening their functions!
How?
By intelligently combining actives that have proven to work synergistically on all of it. An Amino-Silicon-Complex is paired with Vitamin C plus Pseudo Collagen, Micro-Hyaluron and Peptides.
Let's get into the nitty-gritty 😉
The Amino-Silicon-Complex is Hydroxyproline combined with Silicon. Hydroxyproline is the signature amino acid in the chain of Collagen. It makes up almost 14% of the protein! It stabilizes the Collagen Helix by building bonds with neighboring Collagen chains. Hydroxyproline is naturally created by the enzyme Hydroxylase which needs Vitamin C to do so! Therefore we added Vitamin C to support the work of the enzyme to produce more Hydroxyproline naturally on top of delivering Hydroxyproline itself. Furthermore, the Hydroxyproline is paired with Silicon. THE MINERAL Silicon - not Silicone (that's a different story) - increases bone, skin, hair and nail strength! I just realized that I desperately need a Silicon supplement lol ... however, Silicon is stimulating the Fibroblasts to secrete Collagen but also activates - guess what - the enzyme Hydroxylase! On a side note - a higher silicon content in the hair showed a lower rate of hair loss.
In our PRO COLLAGEN Cream we added Pseudo Collagen which is a Glycoprotein made from yeast. Collagen is basically a Glycoprotein on a molecular level. So Pseudo Collagen is a Collagen Equivalent that optimizes the skin's moisture profile.
Our PRO COLLAGEN Concentrate has Micro-Hyaluron, a low molecular Hyaluronic acid, and Acetyl Hexapeptide-1 on top of all the other goodies. Hexapeptide-1 protects the Collagen fibers from UV damage and creates an even skin tone.
The formulations are very light, penetrate quickly, have a very fine and light scent and let your skin and soul say 'oooooooo so nice' the moment you apply it.
