Collagen, a fibrous protein found abundantly in the skin, plays a critical role in maintaining structure, elasticity, and hydration. It comprises roughly 75% of the skin's dry weight and provides the necessary framework for skin cells to thrive. As we age, the natural production of collagen diminishes, leading to visible signs of aging such as wrinkles, sagging skin, and loss of elasticity. Recent studies indicate that the topical application of collagen may help improve skin appearance and health.
As consumers increasingly seek effective anti-aging skincare, the demand for collagen-infused products continues to rise. CD BioSciences leverages decades of expertise to provide collagen skincare R&D services, supporting the development of formulations aligned with client requirements and market demand.
How Do We Develop Collagen Skincare?
Selection of collagen types
Our experts help clients assess collagen sources and types (primarily I, II, and III) suitable for anti-aging skincare. We also support the development of low-molecular-weight collagen peptides to enhance absorption and efficacy in stimulating collagen synthesis, thereby supporting skin rejuvenation and delaying age-related structural decline.
Formulation development services
CD BioSciences supports the development of anti-aging skincare formulations using collagen to restore skin resilience and counteract aging-related changes. We combine collagen peptides with complementary anti-aging ingredients such as hyaluronic acid, antioxidants, and vitamins to enhance hydration, improve elasticity, and protect against oxidative stress.
How Do We Assess the Anti-Aging Benefits of Collagen Skincare?
At CD BioSciences, we follow rigorous protocols to evaluate the anti-aging efficacy of collagen skincare. We offer in vitro studies to assess collagen stimulation, penetration, and remodeling in fibroblast cultures, providing mechanistic insights into wrinkle reduction and skin rejuvenation. We also analyze biomarkers of aging, such as collagen and elastin structural integrity, MMP activity, and oxidative stress response.
Complementing molecular and cellular assays, our biophysical and imaging techniques enable clients to evaluate the functional properties of their formulations and active ingredients. Our services include measurements of stratum corneum hydration using corneometry, assessments of skin elasticity and thickness through ultrasound and other non-invasive methods, and high-resolution imaging to track visible improvements in texture and firmness. By combining cellular, molecular, and functional endpoints, we deliver a comprehensive analysis of the anti-aging benefits of collagen skincare.
CD BioSciences offers end-to-end R&D services for collagen skincare, helping clients with ingredient selection, formulation optimization, and assessment of product performance. If you are interested in our services, please feel free to contact us or make an online inquiry.
