Collagen mainly consists of amino acids, peptides and proteins. As collagen is the protein  that is responsible for building the natural framework of the skin, it is essential for skin elasticity as well as skin firmness. It accounts for 60 % of the connective tissue, which makes collagen its main component. Like a pillow filling, collagen bolsters up the contours of body and face from inside until it starts to decline with age. When used as an active ingredient in cosmetic products, collagen can bind water and, thus, make your skin more supple. It can also help to retain the skin´s natural moisture level, leading to soft and smooth skin.
