Collagen and skin: Fighting the signs of aging.
Collagen is a major, structural protein in our body. Found in skin, bones, tendons, cartilage, muscles, blood vessels, the cornea, and even the digestive system, it acts as a natural framework that maintains the elasticity and strength of our tissues.
Collagen: Fun Facts
- Collagen makes up about 75% of the dry weight of skin.
- There are at least 28 different types of collagen in the human body, each with a specific role.
- Its unique structure is a triple helix, formed from three chains of amino acids (glycine, proline, hydroxyproline).
- Glycine, a tiny amino acid, is essential because only it can fit into the heart of this tight structure.
- Historically, collagen was even used as a natural glue over 4,000 years ago, in crafts and music.
Why collagen decreases with age
From the age of thirty, natural collagen production slows down. The sun, pollution, tobacco, and an unbalanced diet aggravate this loss. The result: wrinkles, loss of firmness, sagging skin, etc.
It is possible to provide our bodies with collagen to combat skin aging, for example through dietary supplements. However, these supplements are produced from animal remains: bovine carcasses, or waste from the fishing industry (it is then called "marine collagen"). This is therefore a highly questionable practice, both from an ethical and health point of view. In addition, these supplements are quickly eliminated by the body and their effects are therefore temporary.
We prefer another approach: stimulating our skin's collagen production.
Rice Peptides: Naturally Boost Collagen
Rice, rich in amino acids, contains peptides capable of activating the skin's collagen production. They help smooth wrinkles and fine lines, restore elasticity and provide immediate comfort. In our Night Cream , these peptides are fragmented into ultrafine molecules, smaller than skin cells and perfectly assimilated by the epidermis. Its creamy texture envelops the skin for a smoother, softer and visibly rested awakening.

Silicon: a key mineral for skin firmness
Organic silicon plays an essential role in the formation of collagen and elastin fibers. However, its natural level declines with age. Les Jolies Perles contain highly absorbable silicon derivatives, capable of effectively boosting collagen production. The result: firmer, denser, and more radiant skin day after day.
