We know drinking water is good for your skin. The thing you eat can affect your skin just as much as the products you apply. This isn’t new news. But what is new is the number of products aimed at healing, nurturing and supporting our inner health. Collagen powders aren't necessarily new in beauty. Though how readily available they are and how good they taste is. From our guts to our muscles, tendons and connective tissues; collagen works synergistically throughout the whole body.
Increasing your ingestible collagen intake can lead to increased overall health and vitality. As well as aiding in hair growth and health, the skin’s own collagen production and nail strength. Collagen is now more readily available than ever. With beauty brands diversifying into inner beauty. Here we have founded up some of the newest Australian brands’ releases to hit the market.
Mukti Bioactive Collagen booster
The first time Mukti have ventured into the world of ingestible beauty. The collagen powder is formulated using Type 1 collagen, which is derived from fish skin and scales. Combining the collagen with a blend of jerusalem artichoke for gut health, a blend of berries that taste delicious and also provide a dose of antioxidants, as well as aloe vera for hydration and kakadu plum for Vitamin C.

Each provides additional anti-inflammatory properties. Drink in water, your morning smoothie, or added to milk with a dash of honey.
Dose & Co Vanilla Dairy Free Collagen creamer
This brand is technically from New Zealand, but we consider them part of the Australian family. The cream it suggests? This comes from coconut milk. Making this collagen powder the equivalent of a morning latte. Derived from type 1 and 3 collagen powders, there are 10 grams of collagen per serving. If coconut isn’t your preference you can also choose from a whole milk version, or a caramel flavoured - in both vegan and non-vegan options. Morning breakfast just got healthier.
