Meet the Peptides Behind Pearl Peptide Glaze

Allison McNamara

When it comes to healthy-looking skin, hydration is only part of the story.

Firmness, elasticity, and resilience all depend on the proteins that help support skin's structure, particularly collagen. As we age, natural collagen production gradually declines. Daily exposure to environmental stressors like UV light, pollution, and blue light can further contribute to visible signs of aging.

That's why we created Pearl Peptide Glaze, MARA's 3-in-1 daily glaze designed to deliver deep hydration, support collagen-rich skin, and help defend against modern environmental stressors.

At the heart of the formula are two advanced peptide technologies that work synergistically to help skin appear smoother, firmer, bouncier, and more radiant.

A Smarter Approach to Peptides

Not all peptides work the same way. Some peptides help signal the skin to support its own collagen production, while others help improve hydration, elasticity, and resilience. Pearl Peptide Glaze combines both approaches in one daily treatment, creating a comprehensive strategy for healthy-looking skin.

Palmitoyl Tripeptide-1: The Collagen-Supporting Peptide

Collagen is one of the skin's most important structural proteins, helping maintain firmness, smoothness, and elasticity.

Palmitoyl Tripeptide-1 is a signaling peptide that helps encourage the skin's natural collagen-producing processes. Often referred to as a collagen messenger, it works by communicating with skin cells responsible for maintaining the skin's support structure.

By helping support the skin's extracellular matrix—the network that provides strength and structure beneath the surface—it helps promote a firmer, smoother, more youthful-looking complexion over time.

Benefits associated with Palmitoyl Tripeptide-1 include supporting healthy collagen production, improving the appearance of firmness, softening the look of fine lines, and promoting smoother-looking skin.

Vegan Collagen Polypeptide: The Next Generation of Collagen Support

One of the most exciting innovations in skincare is the emergence of precision-fermented collagen-inspired polypeptides. Pearl Peptide Glaze features sr-Hydrozoan Polypeptide-1, a marine-inspired vegan collagen polypeptide produced through precision fermentation technology. Unlike traditional marine collagen, it is completely animal-free and sustainably produced. Designed to support overall skin health, this advanced polypeptide helps improve skin hydration, elasticity, and bounce while helping defend against everyday environmental stressors.

Research has shown benefits including increased skin moisturization, improved skin elasticity, enhanced skin bounce and suppleness, support against UV-related stress, blue light protection and protection from urban pollution and environmental aggressors

Why These Two Peptides Work Better Together

The beauty of Pearl Peptide Glaze lies in the synergy between these two ingredients. While Palmitoyl Tripeptide-1 helps support the skin's natural collagen-producing processes, the vegan collagen polypeptide helps improve hydration, elasticity, and resilience while providing daily environmental protection. Together, they help address multiple pillars of healthy-looking skin:

Hydration: Skin looks plumper, smoother, and more radiant.

Collagen Support: Helps promote firmer, more youthful-looking skin.

Environmental Defense: Helps support skin against daily stressors including pollution, UV exposure, and blue light.

Your Daily 3-in-1 Glaze

Pearl Peptide Glaze was designed to simplify your routine while delivering meaningful results. Think of it as your daily layer for deep hydration, collagen support and environmental protection

The lightweight, glazed finish leaves skin looking luminous and refreshed while advanced peptide technology works beneath the surface to support skin's long-term health and vitality.

Because healthy, glowing skin isn't just about moisture—it's about building resilience, supporting structure, and protecting what makes skin look youthful in the first place.
