Collagen
My client just sent this over to me
Does anyone know about this? The supplier we received our sample online won’t respond to us and my client wants me to reformulate.

First I’ve heard of the lawsuit but the term “collagen” has been used loosely for a long time in the beauty industry and I can see where the plaintiff is coming from. Nearly all of the collagen used in topical skin care products is actually collagen amino acids, not native collagen itself. The native collagen is VERY expensive and is the stuff cosmetic surgeons inject into lips to plump them up to hideous levels. There is now a group in Taiwan that sells bio-engineered collagen that is not hydrolyzed or deconstructed. I have never used it but I know it also is not cheap. Collagen amino acids are much less costly and readily available. I speculate this defendant will need to provide evidence they used native not hydrolyzed.
