Here's what none of these brand will EVER tell you, their collagen sits at 1,000–3,000 daltons. Your skin only absorbs under about 500 dalton (Reasearch). So everything they sell never gets in — it just sits on top, makes your skin shiny for an hour, and rinses off at night.
Getting collagen down to 120 daltons is slow, painstaking work — and it's exactly the work the big brands don't want to do. Why would they? It's easier to mass-produce cheap collagen that never absorbs, slap a premium price on it, and pour the difference into influencers and ads to convince you it works. Printing "collagen" on the bottle is cheap. Making one small enough to actually get in is not.
And that's not all, choosing actives that are actually safe for melanin-rich skin, not just repackaging one formula for everyone. That's time and cost most brands won't spend.
We did both. Navaro's collagen is 120 daltons — small enough to actually get in and support a firmer, lifted look — with every active chosen for the sensitive yet beautiful skin most formulas were never built for.
Small molecule. Made slowly. Made for your skin. That's the part they can't copy.
