To maintain youthful, radiant and resilient skin over time, collagen is the star protein that supports skin structure and firmness. As we age, its natural production declines, paving the way for wrinkles, sagging and loss of density. Aware of its importance, younger generations are proactively caring for their collagen from an earlier age, incorporating it into their beauty rituals as a long-term investment.

Now, Montibello introduces Prolagenist, a revolutionary line that elevates skincare with a bioidentical vegan collagen designed to regenerate and strengthen the skin’s architecture from its core. The result is firmer, redensified and wrinkle-free skin, marking a milestone in modern cosmetics.

Collagen banking, a rising trend

Did you know there are over 28 types of collagen in the body? The most relevant for the skin are Type I (which makes up 90% of total collagen and provides strength and firmness) and Type IV (essential for support, cohesion and skin firmness).

Over time, our collagen reserves naturally decline. From age 25, production begins to slow; by 30, we lose approximately 1.5% annually, and by 40, the cumulative loss can reach 50%. After 50, the decline becomes even more significant. This process directly contributes to visible signs of ageing, such as wrinkles and sagging.

This has fuelled the rise of Collagen banking, a trend that promotes proactive collagen care from a younger age to preserve natural reserves and delay visible signs of ageing.

Vegan and bioidentical collagen, Montibello’s breakthrough

The use of collagen in cosmetics has evolved significantly. In the 1980s, the first generation used animal-derived collagen (from cattle, crustaceans, or fish), but its large molecular size hindered absorption. In the 2000s, the second generation introduced plant-based protein complexes with a collagen-like effect.

Today, Montibello leads the third generation with an unprecedented innovation: a bioidentical vegan collagen, produced through vertical farming inspired by NASA techniques. This bioidentical collagen is revolutionary because its structure mirrors human collagen, maximising compatibility and efficacy. Its low molecular weight allows it to penetrate deep skin layers, providing firmness, reducing wrinkles, and stimulating the skin’s own collagen production. Plus, its plant-based origin and sustainable production make it an ethical and eco-friendly choice.

Prolagen-Peptide: the heart of Prolagenist

The key to Prolagenist’s efficacy is Prolagen-Peptide, an innovative complex that works on three levels:

1. Delivers Type I and IV collagen that penetrates deeply.
2. Stimulates the skin’s own collagen production.
3. Preserves existing collagen, reducing its degradation by 56%.

The formula is complemented by other star ingredients:

• Munapsys™ Decontractor Peptide: With a Botox-like effect, it reduces muscle contraction, smoothing expression lines.
• Açaí Extract: A superfood antioxidant that neutralises free radicals, protecting the skin from oxidative stress.
• Ceramides: Strengthen the skin barrier, optimising hydration and cellular cohesion.
• Hyaluronic Acid and Cocoa Butter: Hydrate and nourish, improving elasticity and comfort.
