Pseudo Collagen

Pseudo collagen and our connective tissue.

Pseudo collagen is a true moisturising glycoprotein taken from living cells. It is extracted from traditional brewers yeast by a controlled process which preserves its high molecular weight and native structure and enables it to confer desirable moisture-binding and film-forming properties to the skin. In this single product we offer you a combination of the best from the dermal protein and sugar worlds in a soluble, easily handled form that is an ideal substitute for animal based collagen.

Aromantic is committed to use proteins which are derived from vegetables and other non-animal sources. Our producers have looked to yeast for a source of pseudo collagen material that will provide moisturisation for both skin and hair.

Pseudo collagen has been extracted from the intra-cellular matrix from yeast cells in a water-soluble 'Pseudo collagenous' form suitable for use in cosmetics. Pseudo collagen is the name that has been given to this cellular extract consisting of a moisturising complex of sugars and proteins. This complex is responsible for providing turgor and shape inside the cell in a similar way to sugar/ protein complexes in the dermis. It has been demonstrated that Pseudo collagen has excellent moisture binding properties, making it especially suited as a soluble collagen replacement.

According to New York mag, this is a composite of the ‘ideal’ face as cosmetic surgeons (and women who pay them) see it: Oh it’s depressing. Why can’t we just have our faces and have them age with us and not have to look at the silly fake faces of celebrities who pretend to be natural? My head hurts just thinking about it……
