MYRISTOYL SUCCINOYL ATELOCOLLAGEN

Description

Myristoyl Succinoyl Atelocollagen is an innovative skincare ingredient derived from marine collagen. This modified collagen peptide combines the structural benefits of collagen with enhanced penetration and stability properties. The myristoyl and succinoyl groups attached to the atelocollagen molecule improve its ability to interact with the skin's lipid barrier, facilitating deeper absorption and prolonged efficacy.

This ingredient is particularly effective in addressing signs of aging and improving skin texture. It helps stimulate collagen production, enhancing skin firmness and elasticity. Myristoyl Succinoyl Atelocollagen also provides significant moisturizing benefits, helping to maintain skin hydration and reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

Its low molecular weight allows for better penetration into the skin compared to traditional collagen molecules. This results in more effective delivery of its beneficial properties to the deeper layers of the epidermis. Additionally, the modification process enhances the ingredient's stability, making it less susceptible to degradation and increasing its shelf life in formulations.

Myristoyl Succinoyl Atelocollagen is suitable for various skincare products, including serums, creams, and masks, particularly those targeting anti-aging and skin rejuvenation.
