Human Hair Care Using Products Containing Naturally Obtained Collagen from Salmon Skin Waste

Abstract

The aim of the articles was to popularize the upcycling trend in the production of sustainable cosmetics and to confirm their effectiveness. For thousands of years, people have been looking for new ways to improve their appearance. To take care of their beauty, women and men around the world, in addition to using the best cosmetics and treatments, want to introduce sustainable care to alleviate the negative impact of consumerism on the environment. One of the most noticeable trends is the development of pro-ecological solutions used in everyday life, but also in industry. Manufacturers emphasize the production of more environmentally friendly raw materials. Conscious consumers choose cosmetics whose production is based on sustainable development. Instead of using waste from various industries, we used it to produce active substances used in hair cosmetics. We created the production of the collagen series in accordance with the assumptions of upcycling, obtaining collagen water that is waste generated during the production of supplements. The main aim of the work was to create cosmetic recipes for styling, washing and conditioning hair based on collagen waste, as well as to compare the results of subjects using the product in question.
