Information

The R&D Department of Montibello reaffirms its leadership and commitment to innovation through a collaborative research project creating Prollagen-VG, an exclusive collagen-like active ingredient that opens new frontiers beyond collagen, ushering in the vegan collagen era.​ The composition of collagen is unique and is made up of three main amino acids (glycine, proline and hydroxyproline). Only collagen obtained from animal sources is very similar in its composition to our own collagen, and therefore, its use has been especially relevant in cosmetics. ​ In addition, collagen has a high molecular weight, great hygroscopicity and high substantivity on the surface of the skin. It therefore gives rise to substantial improvements in reducing transepidermal water loss and boosting the skin’s mechanical properties such as elasticity.​ Prollagen-VG is a plant-derived protein complex with a collagen-like activity, which contributes to directly stimulating the synthesis of new collagen fibres. This complex is obtained from plant materials through an exclusive hydrolytic cutting-edge technology. It results in the selective enrichment of hydrolysed protein, which boosts the performance of the plant complex, making it more effective and bioavailable to the skin.​​ Finally, we have demonstrated in several tests that Prollagen-VG delivers better performance than animal-based collagen. In closing, Prollagen-VG is a highly effective and innovative active ingredient for cosmetics which represents a real breakthrough in the cosmetic landscape.
