You may have never heard of it and yet nutricosmetic engineers are using it more and more.
Still little used in formulas to support aging, organic silicon is one of those ingredients that innovative brands such as MyPureSkin choose to use in synergy with other key active ingredients such as collagen.
But why consume it? What synergy can these ingredients have?

Why organic silicon and collagen?
Taken separately, these two ingredients benefit your skin but taken together, they enhance it.
Collagen: an active ingredient that is sufficient in itself but so much better accompanied
Structured into networks of fibrils like a spider's web, collagen is a macromolecule with astonishing properties since it is what gives your skin its resistance to compression.
The main element of the ECM (ExtraCellular Matrix) in which your body's cells are born, live and die, this compound is produced continuously by some of them (fibroblasts) whose importance is crucial for your skin health.
On its own, the collagen contained in many food supplements satisfies many consumers since its properties echo the effects that its presence has naturally when it is produced by the human body itself, namely mainly:
- Prevention of the appearance of cellulite (since this is the result of a reduction in the quantity of collagen present in the skin, among other things);
- Reduction of fine lines and wrinkles.
However, the beauty benefits that collagen offers your skin do not stop there since it is able to combine with other active ingredients to increase its effectiveness.
Organic silicon: a most surprising trace element
This is particularly what is offered to consumers of nutricosmetics to support aging such as MyCollagenLift thanks to formulas designed to optimize the desired effects through synergy.
Organic silicon is precisely one of the trace elements whose addition opens the way to a much higher level of results.
To understand this, we must look at studies such as that of Pierre-Antoine Deglesne¹, published in 2018 and dealing with the effects of organic silicon on fibroblast cells in vitro from human skin.
It appears in particular that exposure of fibroblasts to organic silicon would lead to:
- Stimulation of their collagen production;
- Stabilization of ECM properties (essential for maintaining skin firmness, among other things);
- Higher expression of the HAS2 gene (responsible for the production of hyaluronic acid).
Combine organic silicon and collagen to enhance your skin
It is by reading the reports of research such as that of researcher Flavia Addor and her collaborators² that we can grasp the real advantage of a synergy based on collagen and organic silicon.
Indeed, the study in question reports that:
- The presence of organic silicon makes it possible to activate hydroxylation enzymes (acting on the collagen present to allow the skin to gain strength and elasticity);
- A positive correlation is noted between the use of organic silicon and the slowing down of hair loss.
Organic silicon therefore finds its place in the processes of skin metabolism leading to the creation of more resistant networks of collagen fibrils.
MyCollagenLift: innovate by optimizing natural synergies
An informed choice in the ingredients and processes for creating an effective food supplement to support your aging cannot be improvised.
It is at the cost of an in-depth understanding, some elements of which we enjoy regularly sharing with our consumers, that the MyPureSkin team manages to take on the role it has given itself.
This consists of two essential points:
- Guide you in the decisions to take to take care of your skin in the best possible way through an editorial line exploring the subjects we cover in depth;
- Offer you a turnkey solution that is truly effective and respectful of your health in the long term.
To carry out this second aspect, we have composed the MyCollagenLift formula on the basis of synergies linking ingredients of only natural origin, in particular:
- Marine collagen peptides whose molecular weight allows them to be very bioavailable (i.e. easier to assimilate by your body);
- Hyaluronic acid to help you achieve a good level of hydration;
- Wheat oil ceramides to complete this hydration maintenance effort for your skin;
- Vitamin C from acerola fruit helping to protect your cells from oxidative stress;
- Vitamin E also acting as an antioxidant;
- Organic silicon used to structure your skin while helping to maintain your defenses against the harmful effect of free electrons.
