Easy Hydrolysed Collagen Face Cream

Easy Hydrolysed Collagen Face Cream

This gentle, moisturising face cream is suitable for most skin types. Hydrolysed collagen helps improve skin feel and moisture retention, while glycerine attracts moisture to the skin.

Notes

– Hydrolysed collagen is a water-soluble ingredient that helps improve skin hydration and leaves the skin feeling smoother and softer. It does not stimulate the skin’s natural collagen production.
– Vitamin E is an antioxidant that helps protect the oils from oxidation. It is not a preservative.
– Always add the hydrolysed collagen and Euxyl PE 9010 below 40°C to maintain their effectiveness.
