FSS CollaSyn Hydrolysate HYA PF
Combination of hydrolyzed,
synthetic collagen and hyaluronic acid
Naturally Preserved with Leucidal Liquid
Sunburns are often experienced during the summer by
millions of people each year. However, most people don’t understand how this
may be affecting the future of their skins appearance. When the skin is exposed
to excessive UVB rays, it becomes inflamed, or sunburned, and the cells in the
dermis don’t produce as much hyaluronic acid. Hyaluronic Acid is a major component
of the skin and is involved in tissue repair. This process results in slower
tissue repair therefore accelerating the aging process causing skin to lose its
moisture therefore contributing to the unwanted aged look.
FSS CollaSyn Hydrolysate HYA PF utilizes
the anti-aging benefits of hydrolyzed, synthetic collagen and hyaluronic acid
to plump, condition and moisturize the skin. For these reasons Hyaluronic Acid
and Collagen are amongst the most popular ingredients being added to skincare
products today.
The skin is made up of three layers: the epidermis
(outer layer), the dermis (middle layer) and the subcutaneous tissue (fatty
bottom layer). As a person ages all three of these layers go through
considerable transformations but the most significant occur in the top two
layers. The epidermal cells become thinner causing noticeable differences in
transparency and moisture. The dermal layer also thins but this is due to the
degradation of collagen and elastin, two of its most important components. The
loss of these materials causes skin to lose elasticity causing a wrinkled or
saggy appearance.
Another essential portion of the skin is the
extracellular matrix. This is primarily composed of proteoglycans which are
made up of a protein bonded to a carbohydrate. The most common carbohydrate in
this combination is glycosaminoglycan and the most common protein is collagen,
which gives the skin firmness and structure. With age comes a disorganization
of the extracellular matrix. The collagen protein degrades and disperses and
water is allowed to move about more freely. Glycosaminoglycans carry a negative
charge which allows them to have a high affinity for water and their structure
allows for them to occupy a large volume in relation to their mass. This combination
of properties may cause them to retain water and plump efficiently.
One of the most abundant glycosaminoglycans in the skin is
hyaluronic acid. Hyaluronic acid is distributed widely throughout connective,
epithelial and neural tissues. It is one of the chief components of the
extracellular matrix contributing significantly to cell proliferation and
migration.
Hyaluronic acid readily binds
moisture in the skin thus boosting moisturization and plumping the surrounding
tissues. This characteristic makes hyaluronic acid a widely used ingredient for
a variety of skincare products. Injections of hyaluronic acid are commonly
given today by plastic surgeons to temporarily fill and smooth wrinkles by
adding volume under the skin.
A study was conducted to evaluate
the moisturization benefits of FSS CollySyn
Hydrolysate HYA PF over a 24 hour period. It
concluded that FSS CollaSyn Hydrolysate HYA PF can significantly increase moisturization, when compared to the
base lotion, by as much as 41%.

FSS CollaSyn Hydrolysate HYA PF uses a combination of hydrolyzed, synthetic collagen and
hyaluronic acid in order to provide powerful benefits to the skin. This complex
formula provides moisturizing and plumping effects while simultaneously
reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles to give the skin a more
youthful appearance. This product
can be classified as Vegan Compliant.
