La Maison Clayton Shagal follows the premise that the true essence of skin is based on respecting the skin’s natural major components: collagen, elastin, and water.
Exclusive to La Maison Clayton Shagal, its 99% Pure Extracted Collagen transfers new collagen fibrils with adequate nourishment which maintains the moisture in the skin without injection. Comparable to human skin, the collagen substance is reformulated as gels or extracts to penetrate the dermis and replenish the skin’s dwindling supply of much needed collagen fibrils.
Elastin, a natural complement to collagen, is the main protein in elastic fibers located in the connective tissues or dermis. The mechanical properties of connective tissues cause an interaction between elastic and collagen fibers. The components of the elastin protein influence the elasticity and the firmness of the skin. Although elastin makes up on 2 to 4% of the connective tissues, it plays a crucial role in water retention.
Other Clayton Shagal protein products containing cytokines and/or proteoglycans may also be used to stimulate and strengthen the biological activities that prompt fibroblast cells to resume and maintain the natural production of new collagen and elastin fibrils.
