Collagen is a fibrous protein in which three α-peptide chains are twisted into a triple helix configuration. The glycine, proline and hydroxyproline are arranged in this order to form Collagen. Collagen is widely found in animal bones, tendons, cartilage, skin and other connective tissues; it is the main component of excetral cellular matrix (ECM). The content of Collagen in aquatic animals is higher than that in terrestrial animals. Collagen contains lots of natural moisturizing factors, including amino acids such as hydroxyproline and hydroxylysine, as well as glycine. These factors can improve the water storage capacity of tissue cells, and have a good moisturizing effect on the skin. Therefore, Collagen is widely used in the cosmetics industry. Collagen is added into many skin care products, such as masks, essences, toners, creams and others on the market. BFSTAR Collagen is extracted from fish skin, which not only avoids the waste of fish skin, but also reduces the pollution to the environment. And BFSTAR hydrolyzed Collagen powder obtained after processing has small molecular weight (≤500DA), high solubility. It is convenient for customers to make cosmetics.

2. Collagen Source

Collagen is mainly derived from tissues such as fish scales and fish skins; and a small amount comes from intestines, bones, and muscles of fish. Fish belongs to ectotherm; and its collagen structure has certain specificity. So Hydrolyzed Fish Collagen has antioxidant activity superior to pig and bovine collagen. Also, its molecular weight is smaller than that from other sources. Hydrolyzed Fish Collagen includes many moisturizing factors (polypeptide and oligopeptides) with strong biological activity. Thus it is mainly applied in the cosmetic beauty industry. China is abundant in aquatic products. A large number of fish by-products (40% of which are fish skins) are produced annually. But these by-products are often treated as waste. People ignore their potential value, which causes environmental pollution. The application research and development of Fish Collagen not only provides a more economical and safe source of new Collagen materials, but also improves the utilization of aquatic by-product(fish skin), and reduces the environmental pollution pressure.

5. Collagen Benefits

  • Nourishing skin

Collagen can enter the deep layer of skin. It provides skin with essential nutrients (amino acids); and it maintains the stability and integrity of collagen fiber structure. Also Collagen can enhance the activity of collagen in the skin. Then it improves the living environment of skin cells, and promote the metabolism of tissues. Thus it can achieve the purpose of nutrition, moisturizing, beauty and hair nourishment.

  • Moisturizing

Collagen contains a large number of natural moisturizing factors such as glycine, hydroxyproline and hydroxylysine. These factors are important for maintaining skin moisture. There are lots of hydroxyl and carboxyl hydrophilic groups on the outer side of collagen molecules. The molecules easy to form hydrogen bonds with water, which can improve the ability of skin to store water, and replenish the collagen for human body. Collagen makes the skin have good affinity.

  • Repairing skin

Collagen is similar to the collagen structure in skin, so it has great biological characteristics. Collagen can promote the proliferation and repair of epithelial cells. And the skin has a good absorption to collagen, which can supplement skin with required amino acids. Therefore, Collagen can fill and repair the damaged and aged skin.

  • Anti-wrinkle

Collagen’s similarity with skin cutin layer structure determines its good compatibility, affinity and permeability to skin. It  penetrates the skin epidermis layer, fully absorbed by skin. And it can form a thin membrane layer in the skin surface. Thereby it makes the skin plump and wrinkles stretch; and it improves the density and elasticity of skin. So Collagen has anti-wrinkle effect.

  • Whitening

The tyrosine residues in Collagen compete with the tyrosine in the skin and bind to the active center of tyrosinase. Thus it can inhibit the tyrosinase catalyzing the transformation of tyrosine into dopamine in the skin; thus, it prevents the formation of melanin in the skin to exert the whitening function.
