The science behind The Skin Code®
Developed from skin biology. Backed by research.
The Skin Code™ is a plant-based collagen formula with specific amino acids and supportive nutrients, tailored to how the body biologically functions.
On this page, you will find the studies, mechanisms, and data behind our formula — fully transparent.
19 amino acids incl. L-tryptophan
VeCollal® technology
clinically tested
100% biomimetic vegan
“Most collagen supplements provide animal collagen.
The Skin Code® was developed from a different perspective: supporting the body's own natural collagen production.”
Founder
This is how The Skin Code works in your cells.
1. Deliver building blocks
VeCollal® contains specific amino acids involved in the body's natural collagen formation.
2. Supporting the collagen pathway
Vitamin C contributes to normal collagen formation for the normal function of the skin. (EFSA-approved health claim)
3. Protecting cells from oxidative stress
CoQ10 supports the protection of cells from oxidative stress—a major factor in skin aging.
4. Supporting the hydration network
Hyaluronic acid helps to retain moisture in the skin and supports the extracellular matrix around collagen fibers.
5. Support biological signalling
Gotu Kola and Ginseng contain bioactive plant compounds that have been studied for years in relation to skin tissue and cellular processes.

Frequently Asked Questions about The Skin Code®
Scientific basis
The Skin Code® is based on research into VeCollal® , a biomimetic amino acid formula designed to closely mimic the amino acid profile of human Type 1 collagen. Clinical and laboratory studies demonstrate that these amino acids are used as building blocks for the body's natural collagen synthesis.
The core ingredient VeCollal® has been studied in multiple clinical and preclinical studies. In controlled studies , improvements in skin-related parameters , such as skin texture and hydration, were observed when taken daily for several weeks, compared to a placebo.
Ingredients & mechanism of action
No. The Skin Code® does not contain collagen . Both animal and plant-based collagen are first broken down into amino acids in the body. The Skin Code® delivers these collagen-relevant amino acids directly , via VeCollal®.
VeCollal® is a biomimetic amino acid blend containing collagen-specific amino acids, such as glycine and proline, in ratios similar to human collagen. It is neither protein nor collagen, but a functional raw material for collagen production.
Vitamin C contributes to normal collagen formation for the normal functioning of the skin. It supports the enzymatic processes necessary to convert amino acids into collagen structures.
Gotu kola ( Centella asiatica ) and ginseng are traditionally used plant extracts to support skin condition and connective tissue. In The Skin Code®, they play a supportive and complementary role alongside the primary collagen-related nutrients.
Results & expectations
Collagen production is a gradual biological process. Based on clinical research and practical data, it typically takes 6 to 8 weeks of consistent daily use before changes in skin texture or hydration are measurable.
No. Amino acids and collagen structures work systemically in the body. It's not possible to target collagen formation to a specific skin area, such as the face or cellulite.
Usage & safety
The Skin Code® is designed for adults. If you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or taking medication that involves plant extracts, it is recommended that you consult a doctor or healthcare professional first.
