Marine collagen for healthy aging: Revelox unveils Dermalux formulation in powder format
20 Apr 2021 --- Canadian health and wellness brand Revelox is launching Dermalux, an anti-aging marine collagen formulation touted as offering “firm skin, shiny hair and healthy nails.”
Dermalux is a scientifically-backed, highly-concentrated collagen formula that comes in a powdered format and can be consumed daily with water.
“Dermalux has been designed to strengthen the cells and help with cellular regeneration. It preserves the beauty and strength of the skin, hair and nails while also promoting joint health,” Revelox highlights.
Addressing aging
The goal is not to address topical aging concerns but rather to “provide the body with certain micronutrients” that can help to maintain the skin and hair’s healthy condition.
The list of active ingredients in the Dermalux formula includes vitamin C, coenzyme Q10, silica, zinc and the company’s flagship ingredient, hyaluronic acid.
The product’s most important ingredient, however, is marine collagen, as this is a pure form of hypoallergenic protein that contains significant quantities of the amino acids glycine and proline.
This form of collagen is sourced from the skins of fish.It is particularly known for several important benefits that can help slow the aging process, including:
- Fast absorption into the body.
- Healthy hair and stronger nails.
- Greater skin hydration and elasticity.
- Improved joint and bone health.

In the vegan collagen realm, Evonik developed an advanced collagen platform produced via fermentation-based processes without any animal or human-derived ingredients.
