Why Does Mature Skin Need Collagen?
Sep 29, 2026
One of you asked us:
“You list marine collagen as one of the ingredients in Skin Fuel. What does this term mean?”
So, let’s talk about collagen.
What happens to collagen as we age?
Collagen is one of the main proteins found in our skin. It helps give skin its structure, strength and firmness.
The thing is, as we get older, our skin naturally produces less collagen. And while that’s just part of getting older, it can mean our skin starts to feel a little different.
It might not feel quite as firm as it once did, or you may notice fine lines and wrinkles becoming more visible.
And for those who love being outdoors, there’s even more for your skin to deal with. Years spent in the sun, wind and harsh weather can all leave their mark.
Which is exactly why we made Skin Fuel.
Made for skin that’s seen its share of sun
Skin Fuel is our daily face cream for mature skin — made for those who have spent years outdoors.
Rather than creating a moisturiser designed for everyone, we wanted to make something specifically for those with mature skin.
So, what’s in it? Marine collagen helps restore firmness, improve elasticity and reduce the appearance of wrinkles, while Vitamin A and Neroli help protect and support the skin.
So, what is marine collagen?
Put simply, marine collagen is collagen that comes from fish. The marine collagen we use comes from fish scales that would otherwise be discarded as waste.
We chose it as an ingredient in Skin Fuel because we wanted to make use of this by-product while creating a face cream designed with mature skin in mind.

Why is it in Skin Fuel?
Skin Fuel isn't about trying to turn back the clock.
It’s about looking after the skin you have now — particularly if it’s spent years doing what we love most: being outside.
