Angela talks to Dr Alessandra Zonari the chief scientific officer and founding member of OneSkin. They explore the critical role of collagen in maintaining youthful skin, the impact of senescent cells—often referred to as "zombie cells"—on skin health, and how OneSkin's innovative OSO-1 peptide targets these cells to promote collagen production and improve skin function.

Dr. Zonari also shares her journey from academia to developing groundbreaking skincare solutions, emphasising the importance of a holistic approach to skin health that includes lifestyle factors such as diet, sleep, and sun protection.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

Biological Age of Skin: The skin around the eyes ages 20-30 years faster than other facial areas due to damage and collagen breakdown.
Senescent Cells and Aging: Senescent cells secrete inflammation, speeding up collagen degradation and skin aging. Removing these cells improves skin health.
The OS01 Peptide: A novel molecule that reduces senescent cells, enhances collagen production, and promotes younger, healthier skin.
Lifestyle and Skin Health: Balanced nutrition, hydration, quality sleep, and sun protection significantly affect skin aging.
Complementary Practices: Techniques like microneedling, red light therapy, and proper skincare routines amplify product effectiveness.
