Skin Health 101
why your skin barrier matters in skin longevity
-
Most conversations around skin ageing start and end with collagen. But while collagen loss is an important part of the picture, it’s also not the whole story. Beneath the surface lies the true foundation of skin health: your skin barrier.
This ultra-thin, yet highly sophisticated layer of lipids, ceramides, and tightly packed skin cells is responsible for more than just glow – it regulates hydration, protects against irritants, and supports resilience on a cellular level. When functioning well, the skin barrier helps you retain moisture, defend against environmental stressors, and maintain a smooth, even complexion.
As we age, however, this barrier becomes more fragile. Ageing triggers a series of biological shifts that weaken the skin’s structural integrity – slowing cellular renewal, reducing the production of lipids, ceramides, and hyaluronic acid, and accelerating collagen breakdown, thus leading to dryness, dullness, fine lines, and greater sensitivity.
These changes often begin before visible collagen loss occurs – and compromise the skin’s ability to hydrate, renew, and protect itself from within.
-
Hyaluronic acid (HA) is a naturally occurring molecule found throughout the body, and best known for its remarkable ability to hold up to 1,000 times its weight in water. In the skin, HA fills the space between collagen and elastin fibres, keeping it firm, supple, and hydrated.
As a core structural molecule, it plays a critical role in:
- Hydration and elasticity
- Tissue regeneration and wound repair
- Joint lubrication and shock absorption
- Nutrient transport and cellular signalling
However, the body’s natural production of hyaluronic acid declines with age, thus leading to visible signs of ageing such as dryness, fine lines, and loss of volume, as well as deeper structural weakness and reduced skin recovery.
Many turn to topical HA products as a result, and while these can offer temporary surface-level hydration, oral HA supplementation has been shown to be more effective at restoring deeper moisture and skin density from within. Clinical studies show that ingestible HA can significantly improve skin smoothness, elasticity, and hydration over time.
It’s important to note, however, that while hyaluronic acid provides powerful support for hydration and tissue health, it’s not enough on its own to visibly improve skin structure.
The skin is a complex, multi-layered organ, made not only of water-attracting molecules like HA, but also of lipids, proteins, and actively regenerating cells. Simply increasing water content won’t rebuild what time, stress, and oxidative damage break down.
To truly repair and renew, your skin also needs:
- Ceramides to seal in moisture and reinforce the skin barrier
- Botanical compounds and nutrients that promote healthy cell renewal
- Collagen support to restore firmness and elasticity from within
- Antioxidants to neutralise oxidative stress that breaks down collagen and elastin
Think of hyaluronic acid as a sponge: it draws in moisture, but without the barrier strength and regenerative support to hold it in, that moisture is quickly lost. Even the most advanced HA supplement cannot rebuild the skin on its own.
-
We designed SkinSpan™ in collaboration with longevity researchers in Switzerland to support your skin’s ability to hydrate, repair, and renew itself from within, before visible signs of collagen decline appear.
Unlike traditional beauty blends, SkinSpan™ was designed with synergistic ingredients to work across multiple biological pathways:
For Skin Barrier Strength & Lasting Hydration:
The skin barrier is your first line of defence, but with age, it becomes thinner, more fragile, and less effective at retaining moisture or protecting against daily stressors. SkinSpan™ helps fortify this critical structure with Ceramosides™, a patented complex of plant-derived ceramides that strengthens the skin barrier and locks moisture in.
To complement this, 200mg of high molecular weight Hyaluronic Acid delivers deep hydration, restoring suppleness from within. This dual approach helps restore plumpness, reduce transepidermal water loss, and reinforce resilience against dryness and irritation.
For Deep Cellular Renewal:
SkinSpan™ is powered by PhytoCellTec™ Md Nu, a clinically studied plant stem cell extract that helps restore skin stem cell vitality and accelerate epidermal regeneration. As the skin’s natural renewal cycle slows with age – from around 28 days to over 80 – this ingredient supports a more youthful turnover cycle, improving texture, tone, and overall skin vitality.
To further enhance renewal, SkinSpan™ includes Beta-Carotene, a natural precursor of Vitamin A. Once converted in the body, it gently stimulates cell turnover, encouraging the shedding of dull, older cells and revealing fresher, clearer skin beneath.
For Collagen Support:
While our Collagen Activator provides the key building blocks for our bodies to produce collagen, SkinSpan™ complements this by enhancing the skin’s ability to maintain firmness, tone, and structural integrity.
It features a synergistic blend of DracoBelle™ Nu (a longevity flower extract that supports endogenous collagen production), Vitamin C, and Copper, key cofactors that stimulate collagen synthesis and help protect skin cells from oxidative stress.
For Skin Cell Protection:
SkinSpan™ helps defend against one of the most overlooked drivers of skin ageing: oxidative stress. Featuring Beta-Carotene and DracoBelle™ Nu, it provides targeted antioxidant support to help neutralise free radicals triggered by UV exposure, pollution, and everyday stressors. This protection helps preserve cellular integrity, reduce premature signs of ageing, and maintain a smoother, more radiant complexion over time.
The result of SkinSpan™ is a science-driven formula that doesn’t just add moisture – it enhances your skin’s own regenerative intelligence. Unlike conventional blends that focus on superficial hydration or isolated ingredients, every ingredient within SkinSpan™ has been carefully selected, precisely dosed, and clinically supported to work in synergy, thus promoting visible improvements in firmness, smoothness, and skin resilience over time.

Collagen is essential for skin firmness, elasticity, and structural integrity – but boosting collagen alone isn’t the full picture.
Our Collagen Activator is designed to stimulate collagen production directly at the source using Colgevity™, a patented, vegan collagen precursor clinically shown to be up to 4x more effective than standard peptides. It focuses on rebuilding the skin’s internal scaffolding by supplying the signals and cofactors your cells need to create new collagen.
SkinSpan™, on the other hand, addresses what causes collagen to break down in the first place. It supports the skin barrier, replenishes lost hydration, and enhances cellular renewal – creating the optimal environment for your skin to preserve and protect its existing collagen and respond more effectively to collagen-boosting interventions.
In other words:
- Collagen Activator = collagen production
- SkinSpan™ = collagen preservation + barrier repair + skin cell renewal
Used together, they offer a comprehensive approach to skin longevity – stimulating collagen from within and protecting the structures that keep it intact.
- Collagen Activator = collagen production

Frequently Asked Questions
-
Topical products like serums and creams primarily work on the surface, improving moisture levels or delivering active ingredients to the outermost layers of the skin. While important, these effects are often short-lived and don’t fully address the biological changes that drive visible ageing from within.
SkinSpan™ takes a fundamentally different approach. As an ingestible supplement, it works systemically, supporting the skin’s regenerative capacity at a cellular level. By restoring the lipid layer of the skin barrier, replenishing hydration through hyaluronic acid, and stimulating deeper cellular renewal, SkinSpan™ strengthens the skin from the inside out. Unlike many skin supplements that rely on artificial ingredients or lack scientific backing, SkinSpan™ also contains only plant-based active ingredients with clinically proven benefits.
The result is not just improved appearance, but improved skin function, which is something topical products alone cannot achieve.
-
Take one capsule of SkinSpan™ per day with food, ideally at the same time each day to support consistency.
It’s best taken with a meal to support optimal absorption of the fat-soluble nutrients. Incorporating it into your morning or lunchtime routine can make it easy to remember.
-
Collagen supplements provide the raw materials (amino acids) needed to build new collagen, which is essential. But producing collagen isn't just about having enough raw materials, your skin also needs the right conditions to protect what’s already there and to trigger new production.
SkinSpan™ is designed to preserve and protect the collagen your body already produces. It targets the biological drivers of collagen loss, like oxidative stress, weakened skin barrier function, and slowed cellular turnover before visible decline occurs.
In essence, where collagen supplements rebuild, SkinSpan™ helps protect and maintain, offering complementary, not competing, benefits. Used together, they form a more complete approach to skin longevity.
-
SkinSpan™ supports the skin’s architecture through a multi-pathway approach grounded in longevity science.
First, it fortifies the skin barrier, your skin’s first line of defence, using Ceramosides™ to restore lipid integrity, and Hyaluronic Acid to replenish hydration from within. This creates a more resilient, moisture-retaining foundation.
It then promotes epidermal renewal with PhytoCellTec™ stem cells and Beta-Carotene, helping accelerate skin cell turnover, improve texture, and support a brighter, smoother complexion.
Finally, it supports structural repair through collagen-boosting compounds like Vitamin C and DracoBelle™ Nu, while also protecting cells from oxidative stress, which is one of the most overlooked accelerators of ageing.
This layered approach doesn’t just improve how skin looks, it also improves how it functions – especially over time with consistent use.
-
