It was only when Renee moved to a secluded island in the Pacific for six years that she discovered sea cucumber collagen.
She said the island’s villagers would apply sea cucumber collagen to small wounds and infections as well as other skin conditions due to its healing properties.
Sea cucumber collagen contains marine collagen and bio-active compounds as well as a rare peptide that can rapidly stimulate collagen production.
After returning to Australia, Bescher Beauty was born with The Sea Cucumber Collagen Regeneration Serum as the first product, before developing many others.
The brand recently launched a gentle cleanser which retails for $73.
It’s for sensitive skin and preps the face for actives but is also safe for children and young adolescents.
