The Formula
Six Well-Researched Ingredients
Collagen, hydration, antioxidants, and a very talented fern. Six ingredients, one scoop.
Marine Collagen5g
Type I peptides from wild-caught cod that support skin structure.*
Collagen peptides
Fish Collagen Peptides from wild-caught cod. This is the main event, and the reason Albedo is a collagen powder first. The collagen is hydrolyzed into small peptides, so there's no fishy taste or smell. Research on marine collagen peptides suggests they support skin elasticity, hydration, and overall skin structure. 5g per scoop is a real dose, not a sprinkle for the label.
Polypodium leucotomos240mg
A fern extract native to Central and South America.
Fern extract
The ingredient that makes Albedo more than a collagen powder. This fern is native to Central and South America, and research on Polypodium leucotomos explores its role in supporting the skin's natural response to sun exposure. In that research, 240mg is the clinically studied dose. We used 240mg. Funny how that works. It is not a sunscreen, and neither is Albedo, so keep pairing it with your favorite SPF.
Vitamin C250mg
The essential cofactor your body needs to make collagen.
278% Daily Value
As Ascorbic Acid. Without adequate Vitamin C, your body cannot produce collagen efficiently, so we put it right next to the collagen. It also provides antioxidant support, working alongside Astaxanthin. Not the flashiest ingredient in the jar. The unsung hero of this formula.
L-Proline250mg
An amino acid your body uses to build collagen.
Collagen precursor
L-Proline is one of the key building blocks your body uses to make collagen. Marine Collagen brings ready-made peptides. L-Proline brings the raw material for your body's own collagen production. Think of it as giving your skin the ingredients and the recipe.
Hyaluronic Acid100mg
The moisture molecule behind plump, hydrated-looking skin.
Deep hydration
As Sodium Hyaluronate. Holds up to 1,000 times its weight in water, which is why skincare is so fond of it. Research on oral hyaluronic acid suggests it supports skin moisture from within, for that plump, resilient look. Your moisturizer works from the outside. This works from the inside.
Astaxanthin1mg
A red-orange antioxidant sourced from microalgae.
Antioxidant
The red-orange pigment that gives flamingos and salmon their pink color. Produced by Haematococcus pluvialis microalgae, it's a potent antioxidant. Research on astaxanthin suggests it supports skin elasticity and moisture retention. Who would have thought flamingos would be gatekeeping skincare secrets?

How It Works
01
Scoop
One scoop of Blood Orange & Yuzu collagen powder. The ceramic scoop is included because we think of these things.
02
Mix
Into 8oz cold water, juice, or your morning smoothie. It dissolves in seconds and tastes like something you'd actually order.
03
Live
Make it a daily habit. Collagen is a consistency game, so one scoop every day is the whole plan. It's not magic. It's science. Be consistent.
Common Questions
Is Albedo a sunscreen?
No. Albedo is a dietary supplement: a collagen powder with a fern extract that supports your skin's natural response to sun exposure. It complements your sun care routine. It does not replace it. Always use broad-spectrum SPF when exposed to direct sunlight. We will keep saying this until someone invents a supplement that is also a sunscreen, at which point the FDA will have a very long day.
What makes Albedo different from other collagen?
Most collagen powders stop at collagen. Albedo starts there, with 5g of marine collagen, then adds 240mg of Polypodium leucotomos, a fern extract that supports your skin's natural response to sun exposure. On top of that: Vitamin C and L-Proline to support your body's own collagen production, Hyaluronic Acid for hydration, and Astaxanthin for antioxidant support. Six ingredients, one scoop, and it tastes like Blood Orange & Yuzu instead of a chore.
How long before I notice results?
Collagen rewards consistency. Take one scoop every day and make it part of your routine, like brushing your teeth but tastier. Everyone's skin is different, so we won't promise you a timeline. It's not magic. It's biology. Biology takes a minute.
What does it taste like?
Blood Orange & Yuzu. It tastes like a drink you would order at a restaurant that has exposed brick and no menu. Not like a supplement you're choking down out of moral obligation. We were unreasonably stubborn about this during formulation. Our flavor person may need therapy. Please purchase Albedo to fund his treatment.
Is it actually good or does it taste like fish?
Blood Orange & Yuzu. No fish taste. We went through an unreasonable number of flavor iterations to make sure you'd actually want to drink this every morning. The fish collagen is hydrolyzed and has no flavor or odor. The cod fish gave their collagen willingly for your skin. (They didn't. But it's very high quality.)
Can I take it with a shellfish allergy?
Albedo contains fish (Marine Collagen from wild-caught cod), not shellfish. However, it is made in a facility that also processes shellfish. If you have a fish allergy, Albedo isn't for you. If you have a shellfish allergy, please check with your healthcare provider before use. We don't mess around with allergen stuff.
How do I use it?
One scoop in 8oz of cold water, juice, or a smoothie every morning. The ceramic scoop is included with every jar. 9.81g per serving, 20 calories, 5g protein. That's it. No loading phase, no cycling, no complicated ritual. Just one scoop and go live your life.
What's your return policy?
We offer a 30-day satisfaction guarantee. The tub is yours to keep. Use it as a pencil holder. Or put your goldfish in it. We don't care. We're confident enough with what's inside to make that bet.

Sweet Tan

Six days in Mexico and all I got was a sweet tan. Maybe I was actually responsible and reapplied sun screen for the first time in my life but I still suspect the Albedo had a positive influence. The taste was a little weird to me at first but I got used to it. Other than that no complaints, will buy again for my next trip into the sun.

Albedo saved my pasty skin

I have very fair skin and have had some horrible burns in the past. I also love to spend time outdoors. My family loves to backpack, hike, kayak, and we spend a fair amount of time at the beach.

For the past ten years I have been using sensitive skin sunscreen, but having to remember to reapply isn't always the easiest. Over the 4th of July weekend, we spent 6 days camping and there wasn't a cloud in the sky the whole time.

I drank Albedo every morning for those days and, while I still put sunscreen on my nose and ears, I didn't put it anywhere else. By the end of the week I had tanned WITHOUT burning first which has never happened.

I work in the food industry and I am very particular about the things I put into my body. Especially as a breastfeeding mother. After doing my research on the ingredients in Albedo, I feel more than comfortable with all of them, which is not something I am able to say often about a supplement.

If you burn instead of tan, Albedo is a no brainer. I will be a lifetime user.
