What Is Atelocollagen?
Atelocollagen is a purified collagen derivative usually extracted from bovine (cow) skin. Applied topically, atelocollagen – like regular collagen – has humectant properties that result in smoother, more supple skin and a visible reduction in the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. It does not, however, build new collagen or restore collagen production that has depleted over time (however, there are other ingredients that can do that!).
This type of collagen is a polymer that has had certain peptides removed from each end to make it more tolerable for the purpose of injections. In clinical settings, this collagen has been directly injected into patients to assist the healing of torn ligaments. It is also used as a vector to deliver other ingredients via injection with minimal risk of rejection.
Use levels of atelocollagen in skin care range from 1–5%, where it is typically supplied as a blend with other ingredients such as collagens, vitamins and/or plant extracts.
