Collaplex 1.0 PHE is a high-quality, ropelike triple-helix native collagen derived from German calf hides through a mild extraction process, preserving natural concomitant substances. This soluble collagen is ideal for premium cosmetic products, offering benefits such as hydration, moisturizing, and improved skin elasticity. It is film-forming, water-absorbent, and helps protect the skin from environmental damage. Collaplex 1.0 PHE is effective in reducing fine lines and wrinkles, smoothing the skin, and enhancing water retention. Suitable for use in face creams, body lotions, after shaves, and after-sun products, it is a non-toxic, non-irritant ingredient, compatible with leave-on applications. The product is available in solution form and has the INCI name soluble collagen and aqua.

Efficacy
  • As we mature, the body’s production of collagen slows and this is believed to contribute to an “older” appearance.
  • Oral and topical collagen formulations are thought to help alleviate these age-related skin changes.
  • Collaplex 1.0 shows an outstanding high water ab- sorption capacity.
  • Over time, the powerful native and natural collagen helps to fill in lines and wrinkles, leaving your skin smooth an plump.
  • In addition this outer film reduces the irritating and negative influen- ces of environment on the skin.
  • A certain level of stratum corneum hydration is essential for skin smoothness and elasticity;
  1. Moisturizing
  2. Film forming
  3. Water-retaining
Application Information
  • Collaplex 1.0 PHE is especially suitable and easy to formulate in caring facial cream and skin care formula tions.
Incorporation
  • While all native collagen solutions are temperature sensitive and denature irreversible at temperatures between 38 - 45°C, we necessarily recommend to incorporate Collaplex 1.0 PHE lower than 30°C in the water phase of your formulation.
  • Collaplex 1.0 PHE existing on acidic pH as a result of added citric buffer.
  • For using it in after Shaves in combination with Alcohol and water, pH has to be positioned lower than four, otherwise Collaplex 1.0 PHE will precipitate as fibrils.
  • While using Collaplex 1.0 in water based ampules or fluids you have to add 2 % Sodium Chloride to slide the isoelectric point to the right direction and to avoid any precipitation after a long term.
