The global marine collagen market is worth around £560m*, with the ingredient celebrated for its firming and plumping properties. “Marine collagen is hydrolysed to break down large collagen peptides into smaller amino acids,” explains Lauren Dewsbury, senior research scientist at Vida Glow. “This means it has a high bioavailability and is efficiently absorbed into the bloodstream for heightened benefits for skin, hair, and nails.” Despite the many benefits of blue beauty ingredients, Lauren understands we shouldn’t take our ocean for granted: “Blue beauty recognises the power of marine ingredients while prioritising sustainability and ocean conservation,” she states. “Vida Glow’s marine collagen supplement is sustainably made from fish skin, of elasticity with a plumping effect,” shares Aruj. “The sea plant is rich in amino acids, fatty acids, minerals and antioxidants that can help protect your skin from damage caused by environmental aggressors. Algae are also a humectant, which means they help lock moisture into your skin.” Marine Collagen * Source: ‘Marine Collagen Market’, Expert Market Research, 2022 IN THE SPOTLIGHT
