Skin consists of 70% collagen, which in turn accounts for up to 90% of the connective tissues (dermis). Collagen is capable of retaining as much as 8 times its weight in water. Therefore collagen is by far the skin’s major moisturizing element. |

Consequently with time, collagen undergoes some weakening. In our prime, collagen fibers are filled with water. They perform to their fullest because they are constantly supplied with “collagen fibrils” which attach themselves to these fibers, providing them with vitality and moisture. |

Although “the production of collagen fibrils” deteriorates with time, our collagen itself is never lost. However, the aging process is instrumental in the decrease of natural nourishment caused by the slower production of fibrils. As collagen fibers no longer receive adequate nourishment from the fibrils, their potency to retain moisture is on the decline, and with time, they become thinner and slowly dry out.La Maison Clayton Shagal has produced a collagen capable of penetrating the dermis and replenishing the skin’s dwindling supply of much needed collagen fibrils. |
