Bare Biology
Bare Biology was founded in 2013 by Melanie Lawson. Finding an omega-3 supplement she could trust was difficult due to the lack of transparency regarding the fish used and the freshness of the oil, so she made her own! The brand has grown organically over the past decade and now offers marine collagen supplements as well as their wide range of omega-3 products. They believe in complete transparency. As well as the two rounds of tests they perform themselves, their products are also independently tested. Their omega-3 supplements are IFOS Certified for purity.

It provides 5000mg of Type 1 marine collagen per serving which may help to boost skin health by replenishing collagen levels in the skin's dermal layer.
