At Vitafoods Europe 2026, Natalie Leuwer explained how CURADERM® helps strengthen tissue structure, support body barrier regeneration, and improve skin, wound, and gum health through a science-based inside-out approach.
In this interview from the Vitafoods Europe show floor, GELITA’s Natalie Leuwer shares the science behind CURADERM® and its role in supporting outer body barrier health. Learn how Bioactive Collagen Peptides (BCP®) help promote collagen production, support balanced inflammatory responses, and strengthen tissue integrity across multiple applications — from atopic-prone skin and wound healing to gum health.
Here are the background details behind CURADERM® by Gelita:
One Platform for Science-led Nutrition Focusing on:
- Wound Healing
- Atopic-Prone Skin
- Oral Health
One Ingredient
Three Application Routes
CURADERM® is a Bioactive Collagen Peptide, which completes our portfolio of specific BCP®, summarising three areas under one umbrella and application routes. Each route is anchored in barrier integrity, inflammation balance and tissue support – but tailored to a different market conversation.
Atopic-Prone Skin
Addressing Barrier Dysfunction at its Root
Atopic-prone skin is characterized by impaired barrier function, increased transepidermal water loss, and chronic inflammation.
CURADERM® SUPPORTS:
- Improvement of dermal and epidermal (skin) barrier integrity
- Reduction of inflammatory responses
- Enhanced skin resilience
Supports long-term skin stability beyond symptomatic treatment.
Wound Healing
Supporting Efficient Tissue Repair and Recovery
Acute wound healing requires a coordinated biological process involving inflammation control, tissue regeneration, and structural rebuilding.
Nutritional support plays a critical role in these processes, as protein and specific amino acids are essential for collagen formation and tissue repair.
CURADERM® SUPPORTS:
- Promotion of tissue regeneration
- Support of collagen synthesis
- Optimization of the healing environment
Enhances the body’s natural healing processes through targeted nutritional support.
Oral Health
Supporting Tissue Integrity in Oral Inflammation
Oral health conditions such as gingival inflammation are linked to tissue degradation and inflammatory processes.
CURADERM® SUPPORTS:
- Strengthening of oral tissue structure
- Support of regenerative processes
- Modulation of inflammatory pathways
- Periodontal pocket reduction to limit microbiological driven issues
A novel nutritional approach to complement existing oral care strategies.
Supports the Skin Barrier Strength
From Within
One Mechanism.
Multiple Applications.
The skin barrier is central to maintaining tissue integrity, controlling inflammation, and enabling effective regeneration. Disruptions in this system are linked to a wide range of conditions – from atopic-prone skin to oral inflammation.
Emerging science highlights that these seemingly different indications share common biological pathways, including impaired barrier function, chronic inflammation, and insufficient structural support.
CURADERM® addresses this convergence through a targeted nutritional approach.
