Why do you make creams with animal byproducts such as collagen and elastin?
Collagen and elastin are dermal proteins that make up 70 percent of the bodys connective tissue. Applied topically, pure soluble dermal proteins form a smooth, elastic layer on the skin. This helps skin retain moisture and increases softness and elasticity. Our moisturizer Collagen TCM, which contains dermal proteins, was formulated in 1972, before there were concerns about the use of animal byproducts, and enjoys a loyal following. Both dermal proteins (soluble collagen and hydrolyzed animal elastin) are from sources within the U.S.
