Why Holi(mane) Is the Ultimate Collagen for Skin, Hair, and Nails

Ah, collagen. Remember when everyone and their dog jumped on the collagen bandwagon during the pandemic, hawking every “miracle powder” under the sun? Fast forward to 2024, and we’re all left swimming in a sea of overpriced, underwhelming products that barely do more than lighten your wallet. But one collagen powder has never let me down: holi(mane) by Agent Nateur—the crème de la crème, standing tall above the rest.

Why should you even care about collagen? Collagen is the cornerstone of your body’s foundation; it’s what keeps everything firm, flexible, and functioning as it should be. From your skin to your joints to your hair, it’s the “glue” that holds you together. But here’s the catch: as we age, our collagen production naturally slows down. Stress, smoking, drinking (life) all chip away at your collagen reserves, leaving skin with less elasticity than a vintage Courrèges gown that’s lost its structure. So, no, it’s not just about vanity—it’s about preserving that youthful, vibrant skin, strong nails, and shiny, full hair. Without enough collagen, things start to sag, crack, and lose their glow.

Now, let’s talk about why collagen creams aren’t the answer. I interviewed a top scientist last year who made it perfectly clear: collagen creams don’t do much for your skin. Why? Because the molecules in collagen creams are too large to penetrate the skin. As she so gracefully put it, “You’re just creating a petri dish on your face.” So, if you’re relying on that $500 jar of collagen-infused goo, you might want to rethink your strategy.

What works for me is holi(mane) and I have been using it for many years now. For the record, not all collagen is created equal—and frankly, most of what’s out there doesn’t even come close to cutting it. Holi(mane) is wild-caught marine collagen sourced from the scales and bones of cod, pollock, and haddock; pure, potent, and absorbs exceptionally well. It’s third-party tested for mercury, so you know it’s safe. This isn’t the diluted, mass-produced powder you’ll find being peddled by influencers who don’t even use the product. Holi(mane) works at the cellular level, helping to restore your skin’s strength and elasticity. And the cherry on top? It also contains pearl powder, a potent ingredient revered in Chinese medicine for over 1,000 years for its skin-healing properties.

Together, marine collagen and pearl powder elevate your body’s production of glutathione and superoxide dismutase (that’s scientific jargon that basically means your body’s natural defenders against the signs of aging).

Let’s be honest: after all is said and done, the proof is in the results. Or more precisely, in the way your skin, hair, and nails look when you indulge in this modern elixir versus when you don’t. The difference for me is so undeniable, I can’t recommend it enough. If you haven’t embraced this nourishing ritual yet, maybe it’s time to consider how much more radiant and resilient your skin can be.
