Collagen is the skin’s own support protein – the key to its firmness, strength and elasticity. As collagen production naturally decreases with age, or breaks down due to external factors such as UV exposure, stress and free radicals, the skin can become thinner, less supple and lose its natural glow.
Here's the good news: With the right products that support and protect collagen, you can help your skin maintain its firmness for longer. A consistent skincare routine following the Deepskin Organics-metoden, combined with physical sun protection and a healthy lifestyle, gives your skin the best conditions to retain its vitality and bounce.

Rosemary and Lactic Acid – Our natural collagen heroes
At MARIA ÅKERBERG, you’ll find two unique key ingredients in nearly all our products that make a real difference to your skin’s collagen: Rosemary Antioxidant and fermented Lactic Acid. Together, they offer effective, natural protection and support for your skin’s collagen.
Rosemary Antioxidant is a powerful antioxidant that shields the skin from free radicals and oxidative stress – one of the main causes of collagen breakdown. It helps preserve the skin’s structure and elasticity over time.
Lactic Acid (AHA) promotes cell renewal, strengthens the skin barrier and stimulates natural collagen synthesis. It also improves moisture levels, leaving the skin smoother and more refined. Read more
Why we don’t add collagen to our products
Some skincare products contain added collagen, often derived from animal sources. However, these collagen molecules are too large to penetrate the skin barrier, meaning they can’t reach the deeper layers where they’re needed to improve skin structure.
At MARIA ÅKERBERG, we take a different approach – focusing on plant-based ingredients that naturally stimulate the skin’s own collagen production, delivering long-lasting results for firmer, more resilient skin.
What to avoid for healthy collagen
To protect your skin’s collagen, be mindful of certain ingredients and products. Chemical sunscreens can oxidise in the skin, producing free radicals that accelerate collagen breakdown.
Similarly, products with added hyaluronic acid can sometimes have a drying effect, especially in mature skin, which may compromise the skin barrier and reduce elasticity over time.
