Abstract

Collagen is one of the natural biomaterials used in cosmetic preparation. It is the most abundant protein in mammals which is obtained from many sources such as bovine, porcine and human. Collagen based cosmetics are in demand now a days though safety issues related with allergies are still main concern of consumers. The collagen is used for different purposes in cosmetic and medical field such as dermal filler, skin substitute and facial products. Use of collagen in medical field is useful depending upon the patient’s requirement. It is useful in pathological conditions like in severely burn patients, patients with chronic wounds such as foot ulcers due to diabetes and venous leg ulcers etc however, use of collagen injection as anti-aging/anti-wrinkle biomaterial need to be further investigated in large population study to check the side effects in long term.
