Gelatin has a reticular spatial structure, which can bind a lot of water, enhance cell physiological metabolism, effectively improve the body's physiological functions and the water storage function of skin tissue cells, so that the cells are moisturized and keep moist, prevent premature wrinkles on the skin, and delay the aging process of the skin.
