Simply Beautiful Collection (SBC) is a British salon brand founded in 1988. They use high quality, natural active ingredients that give an effective result on the skin. What I love about SBC and sets them apart from many other companies is their price point. Their ethos as a company is to keep their packaging simple and their marketing mainly through word of mouth and therapist recommendation. This allows them to offer practical, effective and affordable salon quality products.
The same products bought from SBC to be used at home are the exact same products that the SBC trained therapists use in their treatment rooms and salons. This means, we get potent and effective salon treatment products at home and at an affordable price point. It is why I am a SBC customer for 10 years at least.
SBC are very well known for their Arnica, Collagen and Propolis range.
Although I always have Arnica and Propolis in stock, the Collagen range is what I will use all year round, the Collagen Skincare Gel being my all time favourite SBC product. It is such a hard working, results driven and versatile product.
SBC Collagen Range
SBC delivers salon grade marine collagen throughout their Collagen range. Today, I want to specifically look at the body collection.
Collagen is the most bountiful protein in the skin. It makes up 75% of our skin. Collagen is our “fountain of youth,” responsible for warding off fine lines and wrinkles. Over time, environmental factors and aging diminishes our body’s ability to produce collagen.
Elastin is found together with collagen and is responsible for giving structure to our skin. As with collagen, elastin is affected by time and the elements. Diminished levels of this protein cause our skin to wrinkle and sag.
SBC gives us marine collagen in a very economical way so that we can add it into our routine consistently and generously and keep the aging process at bay for as long as possible.
The fragrance of the collagen range is vibrant. Although the products are pink in colour, they are not floral smelling. The fragrance is much more grapefruit like, juicy and fresh and therefore can be used by men and women alike.
Every product within the range contains marine collagen, vitamin rich kukui seed oil and passion flower oil.
This range is perfect for anyone serious about anti-aging body care and also safe and beneficial to use during pregnancy.
SBC Collagen Bath & Shower Crème
This luxurious bath & shower elixir cleanses the skin while helping to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. It is an anti-aging skincare wash for the body suitable for anyone concerned with fine lines, wrinkles, dry, dehydrated or mature skin. It treats, nourishes and protects the skin every time bath time comes around.
SBC Collagen Skincare Gel
This is my hero product of the SBC Collagen range. It is the one product from the range, I cannot live without.
This light, water based gel is rich in marine collagen and disappears into the skin on contact. This skincare gel can be used on face and body and addresses any anti-aging concerns like the appearance of any lines and wrinkles and helps soothe skin dryness or dehydration. This product is very versatile; it can slot in to any current face and/or body skincare routine.
The Collagen Gel can be used:
- On its own
- Layered with other products
- Applied thickly as a face and/or body treatment or mask
- Mixed in with your current moisturiser or body products to supercharge them with collagen
- It is a great primer for makeup and helps to create a flawless base
- Safe to use during pregnancy to support the body as it changes
The SBC Skincare Collagen Gel helps support and reinforces the skin’s rejuvenation process so that skin looks and feels more hydrated, plump and firm.

SBC Collagen Body Butter
Winter skincare is not complete without a good body butter and SBC’s Collagen Body Butter is one of the best. It is an ultra rich, non-greasy formula, enriched with shea butter to help intensely moisturise even the most dry, dehydrated or mature skin type. It This body butter is an intense anti-aging body treatment that can be used easily and conveniently at home and remember, it is infused with marine collagen.
My top tip is to supercharge it with even more marine collagen. To do this, I mix my SBC Collagen Body Butter with my SBC Collagen Skincare Gel in my hands before then massaging into my body. I prefer to do this in the evening and after a warm shower so that I can take my time to really spoil myself.
SBC Collagen Body & Hand Lotion
This silky lotion enriched with marine collagen boosts skin hydration, conditions, soothes and plumps the skin all in a super light consistency. This is perfect to use in the morning or whenever time is limited. To get extra results, again you can mix in the Collagen gel as an option.
