Naticol®: New science on skin repair

A recently published study (2026) found that Naticol® significantly accelerated wound healing by helping shift the local tissue environment from chronic inflammation towards a pro-healing, antioxidant and tissue-remodelling state1. For R&D teams exploring next-generation skin health concepts, these findings provide a compelling perspective on the role of collagen peptides in supporting skin repair and regeneration.

Beyond supporting the skin’s repair processes, important research on Naticol® has demonstrated benefits for skin firmness, hydration, radiance and wrinkle reduction2—creating opportunities to formulate differentiated beauty-from-within solutions that support healthier-looking skin from the inside out.

The formulation potential of Naticol® extends beyond skin beauty. Research also supports its role in joint health, muscle mass and strength3,4, enabling a broader range of targeted or multi-benefit concepts. In addition, Naticol® demonstrates benefits for gut health5 and is the only collagen with a patented application in this area, setting it apart from many collagen ingredients focused primarily on beauty and joint health.

Produced in Europe through a unique enzymatic hydrolysis process, Naticol® delivers Type I fish collagen peptides. With Friend of the Sea®  certification, Naticol® combines formulation versatility with multiple grades suitable for a wide variety of delivery forms.

Looking for an advanced collagen solution? Naticol®x3Peptide is a premium fish collagen containing a minimum of 25% tripeptides and featuring a low molecular weight. For formulators seeking a high-value collagen option, it offers clinically demonstrated benefits for skin and joint health.
