Pseudo Collagen

Pseudo CollagenPseudo collagen and our connective tissue.

Pseudo collagen is a true moisturising glycoprotein taken from living cells. It is extracted from traditional brewers yeast by a controlled process which preserves its high molecular weight and native structure and enables it to confer desirable moisture-binding and film-forming properties to the skin. In this single product we offer you a combination of the best from the dermal protein and sugar worlds in a soluble, easily handled form that is an ideal substitute for animal based collagen.

Aromantic is committed to use proteins which are derived from vegetables and other non-animal sources. Our producers have looked to yeast for a source of pseudo collagen material that will provide moisturisation for both skin and hair.

Pseudo collagen has been extracted from the intra-cellular matrix from yeast cells in a water-soluble 'Pseudo collagenous' form suitable for use in cosmetics. Pseudo collagen is the name that has been given to this cellular extract consisting of a moisturising complex of sugars and proteins. This complex is responsible for providing turgor and shape inside the cell in a similar way to sugar/ protein complexes in the dermis. It has been demonstrated that Pseudo collagen has excellent moisture binding properties, making it especially suited as a soluble collagen replacement.


"I just wanted to write in gratitude and appreciation for your excellent advice on sensitive treatment with oils. I have found the results to be excellent and even though I was considering plastic surgery, I now feel that it will be unnecessary - so a large thank you!"

In order to appreciate the potential importance of Pseudo collagen to cosmetic formulators, an understanding of the role of soluble collagen is required. Soluble collagen provides an important function in the skin matrix, not only for its structural properties, but also for its ability to help hold moisture in the dermis. Collagen fibrils provide the rigid dermal framework around which the moisture binding proteoglycan structure is woven. Elastin fibrils supply the whole structure due to their elasticity. The appearance of the skin is directly proportional to its ability to bind water. Upon ageing, the collagen and elastin content in connective tissue reduces with an accompanying decrease in ability to retain moisture. The skin becomes thinner, takes on an aged appearance and often develops wrinkles. Pseudo Collagen, like soluble collagen, affords excellent moisturising properties giving skin a more supple, healthy appearance.
