Inside-out nourishment takes center stage with MyColla C, a delicious collagen drink formulated with Vitamin C to support optimal collagen synthesis. Meanwhile, local trailblazer Pili Ani taps into homegrown pili and elemi oils for its skin and hair care, an experience further amplified at its new flagship spa. Rounding out this holistic approach is Korean beauty brand Riman, which leverages Jeju-cultivated Centella Asiatica to deliver high-performance skincare and body rituals. Here, we explore why these three brands deserve a spot in your routine.</p><div><strong>How Daily Collagen Nourishes Your Skin with MyColla C</strong></div><p>In the world of skin health and vitality, there are few things that are as ubiquitous, or essential, as collagen. Acting like the body’s building blocks, collagen <a href="https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11050892/">provides structural support</a> to our skin, cartilage and bones. Yet, despite being the most abundant protein in our body, its natural production declines with age. Moreover, environmental factors such as sun exposure, smoking, excess alcohol consumption, and a lack of sleep and exercise can further <a href="https://nutritionsource.hsph.harvard.edu/collagen/">deplete our reserves.</a></p><div><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1787239608047MYCOLLA C-1.jpg" class="fr-fic fr-dib"/></div><p><a href="https://www.oaepublish.com/articles/2347-9264.2020.153">Collagen synthesis</a> drops by approximately 1 to 1.5% every year, with the visible effects usually surfacing in our 30’s. According to Dr. Maika S. Slatensek, this decline often presents as a loss of skin firmness and a duller complexion. To give it more support, daily supplementation can be a viable strategy. </p><p>Speaking at a recent event, Dr. Slatensek highlighted the benefits of Marine Collagen, which is the main ingredient in MyColla C. Derived from fish sources, she explains that marine collagen is primarily Type 1 collagen, which is more closely linked to the skin’s structure. “Marine collagen features smaller peptides, making it much easier for the body to absorb,&quot; Dr. Slatensek says. &quot;Type 1 collagen is what gives skin its firmness and stability.&quot;</p><div><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1787239678106My Colla C-3.jpg" class="fr-fic fr-dib"/></div><p>To maximize these benefits, MyColla C has been formulated with Vitamin C, which according to Dr. Slatensek goes hand in hand with collagen production. “It&#x27;s actually very important in collagen synthesis. So even if your body keeps producing this collagen, if it doesn&#x27;t stabilize [it], if it doesn&#x27;t make it compact, then it&#x27;s just going to be frail,” she explains. “So we actually need a lot of Vitamin C in our bodies in order to stabilize our collagen.”</p><p>As a caveat, Dr. Slatensek reminds us that collagen supplements are a long-term investment in one’s health, and not a quick fix like makeup. “For me, if you are going to be taking supplementation, then, of course, you would have to change your lifestyle as well. Try to be an advocate for healthier foods, exercise, and sleep,” she declares.</p><div><span class="fr-img-caption fr-fic fr-dib" style="width:958px"><span class="fr-img-wrap"><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1787239727427MyColla C-2- Jackie Go, Apple Mendoza, and Dr. Maika S.

Each serving delivers 3,000 mg of premium hydrolyzed marine collagen fortified with Vitamin C, making it a seamless addition to one’s daily routine.</p><div><em>Photos courtesy of MyColla C.</em></div><div><strong>A New Sanctuary: Pili Ani Expands with Boutique Spa Concept</strong></div><p>From a humble nut and good intentions, Pili Ani has grown to become one of the most respected local beauty and wellness companies. According to brand legend, it all started when founder Rosalina Tan had wanted to help a farmer in Bicol and purchased pili oil from him. One bottle turned into an entire room of bottles, and homemade products their friends ended up loving. This early success with the oil eventually inspired Rosalina and her daughter Mary Jane Tan-Ong to consider building a brand, sharing the benefits of this powerhouse oil while also supporting sustainable farming. </p><div><span class="fr-img-caption fr-fic fr-dib" style="width:957.995px;display:block" width="957.995"><span class="fr-img-wrap"><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1787239894347669674322_974316248278597_7264025535147458977_n.jpg" class="fr-fic fr-dib" style="width:957.995px;height:auto" width="957.995"/><span class="fr-inner"><em>Iza Calzado | Photo from Pili Ani&#x27;s Instagram Page</em></span></span></span></div><p>Today, Pili Ani’s lineup covers your wellness rituals from head to toe. There is the bestselling Pili Tinted Lip Butter, as well as their host of skincare oils and moisturizers. They also have amazing products for the hair and body, as well as adorable essential oil travel kits. All their nourishing concoctions have been infused with pili and elemi oils, which are packed with antioxidants and other beneficial ingredients. </p><div><span class="fr-img-caption fr-fic fr-dib" style="width:957.995px;display:block" width="957.995"><span class="fr-img-wrap"><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1787278700040753247483_18571867150071665_500448577673349035_n.jpg" class="fr-fic fr-dib" style="width:957.995px;height:auto" width="957.995"/><span class="fr-inner"><em>Pili Ani Lifestyle is located in the third floor of Greenhills Mall | Photo courtesy of Pili Ani</em></span></span></span></div><p>Their latest milestone is a true celebration of Filipino hospitality and wellness: the launch of the Pili Ani Lifestyle hub on the third floor of Greenhills Mall. Part boutique and part sanctuary, this space brings the caring ethos of mother-daughter founders Rosalina and Mary Jane to life. Conceived as a peaceful retreat from daily hustle, the spa that’s tucked away behind the shop is where people can recharge with their nourishing facials, body scrubs, hair therapies, and massages. </p><div><span class="fr-img-caption fr-fic fr-dib" style="width:957.995px;display:block" width="957.995"><span class="fr-img-wrap"><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1787239959225Pili Ani 4 Rosalina and Mary Jane.jpg" class="fr-fic fr-dib" style="width:957.995px;display:block;height:auto" width="957.995"/><span class="fr-inner"><em>Pili Ani founders, mother-and-daughter duo, Rosalina and Mary Jane Tan-Ong | Photo courtesy of Pili Ani</em></span></span></span>Every treatment thoughtfully incorporates Pili Ani’s beloved products, allowing visitors to experience the full, nourishing benefits of their signature formulas.</div><div><em>Photo of Iza Calzado from Pili Ani&#x27;s<a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/DXHP7VDjbXT/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&amp;igsi=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"> Instagram </a>Page.</em></div><div><strong>K-Beauty Brand Riman Unveils the Power of Jeju-Cultivated Centella Asiatica</strong></div><p>Korea is known for many things, chief among them its exceptional skincare and multi-step routines that give every product ample space to do its magic.
