Microplastics: the invisible enemy that GOLD COLLAGEN® helps to avoid, looking after both you and the planet

What are microplastics?

Microplastics are tiny plastic particles (less than 5 mm in size) that come off products such as cosmetics, synthetic clothing, packaging or single-use items. Although they are almost imperceptible, they are now almost everywhere: they are in the air we breathe, the water we drink and the food we eat.

These particles have found their way into such sensitive areas as the blood, lungs, placenta and even breast milk, which demonstrates the scale of the problem.

A serious problem in the oceans

Every year, more than 8 million tonnes of plastic end up in the sea. Over time, this waste breaks down into microplastics that are ingested by fish, shellfish and seabirds.

This not only threatens biodiversity but also introduces microplastics into the human food chain. What pollutes the sea ultimately affects our health.

How do microplastics affect people?

Although research is still ongoing, various studies already point to worrying effects:

• Endocrine disruption due to the presence of hormone-disrupting chemicals.
• Oxidative stress and inflammation in tissues.
• Transport of toxic pollutants adhering to their surface.
• Progressive, silent accumulation in vital organs.

In short, microplastics not only harm the environment, they also pose a long-term risk to human health.

Conscious brands: a new form of responsibility

The cosmetics and nutraceutical sector bears a great responsibility in addressing this challenge. From ingredients to packaging, the decisions we make have a direct impact on the environment and people’s health.

More and more brands are choosing to formulate without microplastics, avoid toxins and opt for sustainable packaging. This is the path towards a cleaner and more transparent industry.

GOLD COLLAGEN® joins the cause: beauty that respects the planet

At GOLD COLLAGEN®, we are committed to advanced, effective and respectful nutricosmetics. Our commitment goes beyond visible results on the skin; it is present in every stage of the product, from its formula to its packaging. We take care of every detail to protect your health and that of the planet.

GOLD COLLAGEN® IS:

• Free from microplastics: both in its formulation and in its processes.
• Free from toxins and hormone disruptors: because what you take must be 100% safe.
• Packaged in 100% recyclable, sustainable packaging: glass bottles and recyclable materials, with no unnecessary plastic wrappers or boxes with environmentally harmful finishes.
• Made with carefully selected , high-quality active ingredients , backed by science and proven to be effective, safe for both your body and the environment.

Glass bottles: quality, sustainability and a commitment to your health

At GOLD COLLAGEN®, every detail matters. That’s why our formulas are not only carefully developed, but also packaged in high-quality glass bottles. This choice is no accident: glass is one of the best materials for preserving the bioavailability and stability of the active ingredients.

Why does glass make the difference?

• Greater bioavailability : glass is an inert material, meaning it does not react with the ingredients. This ensures the efficacy of each component remains intact, from collagen peptides to the most sensitive antioxidants.
• Optimal protection: our bottles shield the contents from light, oxygen and other environmental factors that could degrade their quality.
• Commitment to sustainability: glass is 100% recyclable , as are our outer boxes. We reduce the use of plastics and are committed to responsible packaging, in line with a more conscious lifestyle.
• Safety for your health: unlike some plastics, glass does not contain chemicals that can leach into the product. It is a safe and clean option for daily consumption.

In short, choosing GOLD COLLAGEN® means opting for an effective, sustainable and safe product. Because looking after yourself from the inside also means looking after the planet.

We position ourselves as a safe, reliable brand aligned with the values of those who seek to look after themselves in a conscious way. Our environmental awareness is not just a statement; it is a daily practice. We work to offer high-performance products that compromise neither your health nor that of the planet.

GOLD COLLAGEN®: Conscious Beauty and Social Commitment

At GOLD COLLAGEN®, beauty goes beyond the skin. Our commitment to sustainability and health is reflected in every detail of our production. That is why we formulate our products in 100% recyclable glass bottles, a material that ensures better absorption of the active ingredients, preserves the original flavour and maintains the highest product quality. Furthermore, we opt for clean and safe formulas, with carefully selected ingredients that respect both your skin and the environment. Our packaging is recyclable and free from harmful plastics, thereby minimising our ecological footprint without compromising on effectiveness.

But our commitment doesn’t stop there. Through our partnership with Mary’s Meals, we aim to provide 1,000,000 school meals to children in Malawi, Kenya and Zambia. This initiative not only combats hunger, but also promotes education and well-being in vulnerable communities.
