Wild animals and plants are more resilient than those that are raised on farms. When used in natural skin care this built-up resilience translates to higher potency — and better results. Wild ingredients contain potent antioxidants, vitamins and nutrients essential for the nourishment and regeneration of skin cells.

Fucoidan is a naturally occurring compound in wakame seaweed (Undaria pinnatifida). It works to protect seaweed against external stresses, including salt, wind and UV radiation. Fucoidan extracts have been shown to reverse the effects of ageing, brighten skin and reduce the appearance of fine lines.

Kakadu plum (Terminalia ferdinandiana), also called the gubinge, is a flowering plant that is native to Australia. It grows in the tropical woodlands of north-western Australia. Kakadu plum has been used as a traditional bush food and bush medicine for millennia. The fruit has especially high levels of vitamin C.

Prickly pear seed oil comes from the seeds of a species of cactus (Opuntia ficus-indica). Our wild prickly pear is sourced from Sbouya, which is located in the dry and exposed terrain of the lower Atlas Mountains in Morocco. The tiny seeds are prized for their precious oil which has age-defying properties.

Collagen is a structural property, making up over 75% of our skin and giving it shape. Collagen acts like a glue within the body – working to strengthen elasticity, as well as aiding the replacement of dead skin cells. Natural collagen is the essential nutrient that enables skin radiance, healthy hair and strong nails.

Our natural marine collagen peptide capsules contain Type I collagen which is the best of the 3 natural collagen types for skin renewal.

Yes, each batch of collagen is tested against the EU and Australia/New Zealand standard for heavy metals and is passed as safe for consumption.

No, natural collagen always has an animal origin.

Fish collagen has higher absorption and bioavailability, due to its smaller particle size. Fish collagen is absorbed up to 1.5 times more efficiently in the body than collagen from other animals such as beef.

Vitamin C is important for the activation of two key enzymes, which are needed for natural collagen synthesis, which starts inside the cell. Without vitamin C (and also iron), the function of the enzymes is inactivated, and natural collagen cannot be formed.

If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, we recommend that you discuss any changes in your nutrition or natural skin care regimen with your medical professional.

Capsules give you the perfect dose every time; release the collagen slowly for maximum absorption; have no unpleasant taste; require no preparation and leave no mess.
