This invention discloses a collagen conjugate, its preparation method, and its application, belonging to the field of cosmetic technology. The collagen conjugate is obtained by conjugating human recombinant collagen with glycosaminoglycans; the human recombinant collagen includes at least one of human recombinant type I, III, IV, V, VII, and XVII collagen; the glycosaminoglycans include at least one of
hyaluronic acid and its
sodium salt,
chondroitin sulfate and its
sodium salt, and
dermatan sulfate and its
sodium salt. This collagen conjugate not only forms a protective film on the
skin surface, providing immediate repair and firming effects and reducing damage to the
skin from external stimuli; it also decomposes to produce beneficial substances, promoting the growth of probiotics on the
skin surface and maintaining the skin's microecological balance; furthermore, after degradation, the collagen conjugate promotes collagen production, enhancing its effectiveness in improving or preventing wrinkles. This collagen conjugate can be used in the preparation of
cosmetics.
