Answer:

Collagen is produced in the human body until natural aging occurs, whereas elastin is mainly produced during the fetal period. Collagen has the main property of providing structures with strength, whereas elastin will allow the structures which contain it to stretch and return to their initial form without damage

From what I know,  collagen/elastin ratio as well as the collagen and elastin structures change with age [3,4,5,6]. The elasticity of the skin increases with atrophy of the collagen fiber bundles, the related flattening of the rete ridges, and the thickening of the dermal elastic fiber.

Basis for all living things every living thing contains this element
Serggg [28]
All living things contain carbon so an argument could be made that carbon was the basis. Or it could be oxygen because all living things in one way require oxygen to live, even plants and fish who pull oxygen from the water molecules.
