Next-Generation Supplements Meet Nutricosmetics: Inside the New TOSLA x Geltor Collaboration

What is The Signaling Collagen Shot and what needs does it address?

The Signaling Collagen Shot is a next-generation, ready-to-drink, vegan dailyAlexander Lorestani, chief executive officer, co-founder, GeltorCourtesy of Geltor supplement formulated with TOSLA’s VELIOUS® Flavor Technology and powered by Geltor’s PrimaColl, a bio-designed type-21 collagen, rich in signaling elements shown to visibly improve skin. It addresses the growing demand for proactive, beauty-from-within and longevity-focused solutions backed by clinical results demonstrating improvements in skin firmness, hydration, and wrinkle depth, packaged in a convenient and delightful daily use. 

The Signaling Collagen Shot is the first of its kind, designed to inspire and showcase the future of the category. This collaboration is intended to motivate our two core audiences, topical beauty brands looking to expand into beauty-from-within and ingestible applications, and wellness brands seeking their next hero product, to bring this innovation to market. Backed by TOSLA’s deep formulation and manufacturing expertise, the product is fully ready-to-market.

Why is this product different from others on the market?

This product represents the next era of collagen science. Unlike traditional collagen formats, it takes a more advanced approach, combining biotech innovation with a sensory-rich, great-tasting experience that transforms supplementation into an enjoyable daily ritual rather than a routine that’s hard to maintain. Importantly, it is a fully developed, market-ready formula, enabling brands to seamlessly bring a next-generation collagen product to consumers.

What role does co‑development play in this collaboration, and how does TOSLA’s R&D expertise help bridge cutting‑edge ingredient science with scalable, market‑ready liquid formulations?

Co‑development is central to this collaboration. From the outset, TOSLA workedUroš Gotar, chief innovation officer, TOSLACourtesy of TOSLA closely with Geltor to translate PrimaColl’s cutting‑edge, bio designed collagen science into a finished liquid product that performs clinically, tastes great, and is ready to scale. Our R&D teams focus on the full system, not just the ingredient, optimizing stability, bioavailability, sensory profile, and daily usability through our VELIOUS® Flavor Technology, while designing the formulation to meet real‑world manufacturing and market requirements. The result is a market‑ready collagen shot that preserves the integrity of Geltor’s innovation while delivering the experience and reliability brands need to launch with confidence.

What consumer trends does this formulation address?

• Innovation & Science-Backed Formulation: PrimaColl is supported by a landmark 170-participant, 12-week, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial. Participants experienced improved skin firmness, wrinkle depth, and hydration, after consuming as little as 1g daily, appealing to consumers who want measurable results and science-backed data. PrimaColl is the first and only biotech-derived collagen to receive the FDA GRAS “no questions letter”.
• Convenience & Daily Rituals: PrimaColl is potent, with a daily recommended serving of 1-2.5g, vs. 10-20g of traditional animal-derived collagen.
• Clean Label & Minimalism: PrimaColl’s clean-tasting, animal-free formulation is easy to incorporate into liquid applications, providing brands with broad formulation possibilities.
  Vegan & Animal-Free Products: PrimaColl is certified Vegan, Halal, and Kosher, among the most inclusive collagen on the market for ingestible applications.  
• Sustainability & Traceability: PrimaColl’s formulation is created via precision fermentation using renewable and traceable inputs, resulting in a pure, consistent, and environmentally responsible product.

How do you see vegan collagen like PrimaColl® changing the game in the beauty and personal care space?

For the last decade, collagen has been a staple of the beauty and wellness industry, with a rich heritage across both ingestible and topical applications. From the beginning, our founding belief was that the best collagens, across performance, convenience, and taste, had yet to be discovered, and that Geltor could pioneer their development through the power of AI and biotechnology. PrimaColl® is the first expression of that paradigm shift for ingestible skincare science, representing the next generation of collagen innovation, where ingredients can be designed for efficacy, formulation ease, dietary preferences, and more.

Ultimately, this collaboration is designed to inspire ingredient innovators and wellness brands alike to rethink what’s possible when efficacy, experience, and scalability are developed together, and to bring the next generation of ingestible skincare to market.
