Skin, hair, and nails are more than just components of our appearance – they are dynamic tissues that continuously grow, renew themselves, and respond to internal and external influences. The condition of these tissues often reflects the overall health of the body and serves as a visible indicator of internal balance and vitality. Today, however, these tissues face many challenging factors – from UV radiation and environmental pollution to nutrient deficiencies, stress, and hormonal changes.
Comprehensive Support for Radiant Skin, Strong Hair, and Healthy Nails
Roanga Infinity® combines marine collagen, bioactive peptides, plant oils, and antioxidants that contribute to the natural beauty and vitality of skin, hair, and nails. This harmony of nutrition and protection helps maintain a youthful appearance and healthy tissue structure.
Modern scientific research suggests that optimal health and vitality of skin, hair, and nails depend on the interplay of several key factors:
- Sufficient supply of structural proteins and building materials
- Protection against oxidative stress and free radical damage
- Optimal hormonal balance and regulation of inflammatory processes
- Effective detoxification and internal cleansing of the body
Collagen and Deer Velvet for Skin Firmness
Collagen is the most abundant protein in the human body and forms the basic structural component of skin, hair, and nails. With age, natural collagen production decreases, which can lead to loss of skin elasticity, hair thinning, and nail brittleness.
Marine collagen and bioactive components from deer velvet provide building blocks important for skin elasticity and healthy growth of hair and nails. A scientific study published in the Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology (2019) documents that supplementation with collagen peptides can support dermal collagen synthesis and contribute to skin hydration and elasticity (Choi et al., 2019).
These natural structural components can help:
- Provide amino acids needed for collagen and keratin formation
- Support natural hydration and elasticity of the skin
- Contribute to optimal structure and strength of hair and nails
- Support regenerative processes in skin tissues
Antioxidant Protection Against Aging
Oxidative stress is one of the main factors contributing to premature skin aging and hair damage. UV radiation, environmental pollution, and other external factors can generate free radicals that damage cellular structures including collagen and elastin.
OPC from grape seeds, lycopene, and fucoidan help protect skin cells from oxidative stress, which contributes to premature aging. A systematic review published in the journal Nutrients (2021) documents that these natural antioxidants can contribute to protecting skin structures from oxidative damage and support a healthy skin appearance (Pérez-Sánchez et al., 2021).
These natural antioxidants can help:
- Neutralize free radicals in skin tissues
- Protect collagen and elastin from degradation
- Support the skin's natural defense against UV radiation
- Contribute to preserving the youthful appearance of the skin
"True beauty comes from within and is a reflection of the overall balance and vitality of the body. Natural bioactive substances can support this inner harmony and contribute to a naturally radiant appearance at any age."
Support for Hormonal Balance
Hormonal balance plays a key role in maintaining the healthy appearance of skin, hair, and nails. Hormonal fluctuations can affect sebum production, skin hydration, hair growth, and many other aspects of skin health.
Evening primrose and borage oils are natural sources of GLA (gamma-linolenic acid), which contribute to maintaining hormonal balance and a healthy skin appearance. Scientific studies suggest that GLA can support the healthy structure of cell membranes and contribute to the regulation of inflammatory processes in the skin (Kawamura et al., 2011, Journal of Oleo Science).
These natural fatty acids can help:
- Support optimal structure of cell membranes in skin tissues
- Contribute to the regulation of inflammatory processes in the skin
- Support natural hydration and barrier function of the skin
- Contribute to the balance of sebum production
Herbal Cleansing for a Healthy Appearance
The condition of skin, hair, and nails often reflects the internal health of the body, including the efficiency of detoxification processes. Accumulation of toxins and metabolic waste products can negatively affect the appearance and vitality of these tissues.
Milk thistle, garlic, and wormwood from Roanga Purea® support the body's cleansing processes, which are reflected in the vitality of skin and hair. A study published in the Journal of Medicinal Food (2018) suggests that these traditional herbs can support healthy liver function and contribute to effective body detoxification (Li et al., 2018).
These natural herbs can help:
- Support natural detoxification processes in the liver
- Contribute to efficient removal of metabolic waste products
- Support healthy microcirculation in skin tissues
- Contribute to the overall balance of the body, which is reflected in the quality of skin and hair
Holistic Approach to Beauty and Vitality
The health and beauty of skin, hair, and nails are the result of a complex interplay of many bodily systems and processes. Modern scientific findings confirm that optimal support requires a holistic approach that focuses on key aspects of skin health – from providing structural building blocks through antioxidant protection to hormonal balance and internal cleansing of the body.
Roanga Infinity® offers comprehensive natural support that combines traditional wisdom with modern scientific knowledge. Carefully selected natural substances work in synergy and can contribute to the natural beauty and vitality of skin, hair, and nails – not just superficially, but through harmonious support of internal processes that are reflected in a radiant appearance.

Frequently Asked Questions about Skin, Hair, and Nail Health
How does the structure and function of skin change with age?
With advancing age, natural changes occur in the structure and function of the skin. After the age of 20, the production of collagen and elastin gradually decreases, which can lead to loss of elasticity and the formation of fine lines. The epidermis (top layer of skin) thins and skin cell renewal slows down. The production of natural moisturizing factors and sebum also decreases, which can lead to drier skin. The dermis (middle layer of skin) loses volume and there is a decrease in subcutaneous fat, which can lead to sagging facial contours. The distribution of melanin may also change, leading to uneven pigmentation. The good news is that with proper care, UV protection, adequate hydration, and nutrition from within, these natural processes can be optimally supported and contribute to maintaining a healthy and vital skin other skin components, including blood vessels, nerves, and hair follicles. In nails, collagen contributes to their strength and resilience. In hair, although they are primarily made of keratin, collagen supports the health of hair follicles and the scalp. With age, natural collagen production decreases (approximately by 1-1.5% annually after the age of 25), which can lead to visible skin changes such as wrinkles, loss of firmness, and elasticity. Supplementation with collagen peptides can provide amino acids needed for the synthesis of new collagen and support the natural renewal of these tissues. Studies suggest that bioactive collagen peptides can stimulate fibroblasts (collagen-producing cells) and contribute to the density of collagen fibers in the dermis.
How does oxidative stress affect skin aging?
Oxidative stress is considered one of the main factors contributing to skin aging and the development of age-related changes. It occurs when the production of reactive oxygen species (free radicals) exceeds the body's ability to neutralize them through antioxidant defense mechanisms. Skin is particularly susceptible to oxidative damage because it is constantly exposed to external factors such as UV radiation, environmental pollution, and toxins that generate free radicals. Oxidative stress can damage cellular structures including lipids, proteins, and DNA. In the context of skin, oxidative stress can cause fragmentation and cross-linking of collagen and elastin fibers, leading to loss of elasticity and wrinkle formation. It can also disrupt the function of melanocytes, leading to uneven pigmentation, and damage cell membranes, which impairs the barrier function of the skin. Natural antioxidants such as polyphenols from grape seeds, lycopene from tomatoes, vitamins C and E, or flavonoids can neutralize free radicals and protect skin structures from oxidative damage, thereby contributing to the prevention of premature skin aging.
What impact does nutrition have on the health of hair and nails?
Nutrition plays a crucial role in maintaining the health of hair and nails, which are primarily made of keratin, a structural protein rich in the amino acid cysteine. For optimal growth and structure of hair and nails, an adequate intake of several key nutrients is important: proteins provide amino acids essential for keratin formation; iron, zinc, and B vitamins are important for the metabolism of hair follicles and nail matrix; vitamin C is essential for collagen synthesis, which supports surrounding tissues; biotin (vitamin B7) contributes to the normal metabolism of macronutrients and the maintenance of normal hair and skin; omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids support healthy cell membranes and can contribute to the hydration of hair and nails; and antioxidants protect hair follicles and nail matrix from oxidative damage. Deficiency of these nutrients can lead to problems such as brittleness and loss of hair shine, slow growth of hair and nails, nail splitting, or changes in their structure. Comprehensive nutrition including all necessary nutrients can significantly contribute to the vitality and healthy appearance of hair and nails.
How is hormonal balance related to skin condition?
Hormonal balance has a significant influence on skin condition, and changes in hormone levels can noticeably affect its appearance and function. Androgens, such as testosterone, stimulate sebum production and can contribute to oily skin and acne. Estrogens, on the other hand, promote skin hydration, collagen and elastin synthesis, and contribute to its thickness and elasticity. Progesterone can affect water retention and contribute to swelling. Hormonal fluctuations during the menstrual cycle, pregnancy, menopause, or in endocrine disorders can lead to various skin problems such as acne, melasma (dark spots), dry skin, or rosacea. Some natural substances, such as phytoestrogens or essential fatty acids (e.g., GLA from evening primrose and borage), can help modulate hormonal effects on the skin and contribute to its balance and healthy appearance. A comprehensive approach to skin care should take into account hormonal status and its changes, and adapt not only external care but also internal support of the body accordingly.
