As the edible cosmetics (inner beauty) market grew, a unique ‘eatable collagen’ product appeared.
Brand X Corporation announced on the 30th that its subsidiary, 3 Care Korea, has launched ‘Collagen Macaron’ as a new product of ‘Kokurodang’, as diet bakery brand.
Collagen macaroons are available in 6 flavors: strawberry cream cheese, salted vanilla, yellow cheese, and wine fig. The brand introduced the product as a product containing 2000mg of fish collagen of 1000Da (molecular weight measurement unit) per product (20g).
“The sugar content is lowered to 6g so that even dieters who control their diet can consume it without worry. This is 60% lower than the sugar content of its existing product, ‘Diet Macaron’ (based on injeolmi flavor),” he explained.
Meanwhile, the inner beauty market, including collagen, is growing rapidly in Korea. According to the Korea Health Functional Food Association, the domestic inner beauty market has grown about tenfold from 50 billion won in 2011 to 500 billion won in 2019. Collagen is a protein that forms tissues such as skin, bones, and muscles.
