Slim-activ

From marine biotechnology, an active that redefines both body and facial areas sensitive to sagging due to aging or insufficient physical activity such as double chin, abdomen, arms and thighs by mimicking the effect of endurance exercise.

Provides a general improvement in the appearance and tone of body silhouette, works for a defined V-shaped face.

Mechanism of action: induces adiponectin release from adipose tissue, enhancing mitochondrial activity in muscle fibers.

Product obtained upon fermentation of a planktonic Bacillus sp. isolated from subtropical island sponge with a soybean derived culture medium.

BENEFITS

• redefines the silhouette, improves body tone and skin firmness
• redefines facial areas sensitive to sagging such as double chin
• reduce arm sagginess, abdomen perimeter and thighs contour
• decrease skin folds
• increase adiponectin release and enhances mitochondrial activity
• mimics the effect of endurance exercise training
• results are increased when combined with physical activity

USE RECOMMENDATIONS

• can be incorporated into daily cosmetic formulations
• lifting and tightening applications for body and face
• body firming and contouring formulations
• sculpting body shape applications
• neckline and decolletage applications
• in emulsions should be added to the final phase at <40°C
• recommended pH range of formulations: 4.0-7.5

SAFETY DATA

EFFICACY TESTS

• In-VITRO
• 68% increase of adiponectin release by adipocytes
• 48% higher mitochondrial activity in muscle cells
• In-VIVO
• 60 female volunteers of 35-50 years old, with sedentary life style, used a cream containing 5% active ingredient twice a day.
• After 56 days, 52% of the volunteers treated with active ingredient decreased their abdomen contour on average by -1.6 cm.
• Thigh contour was reduced up to -2.1 cm with active ingredient, and up to -2.9 cm when combined with exercise. Arm contour was decreased up to 1.3 cm.
• 79 female volunteers of 39-59 years old, showing flaccidity on the chin, used a cream containing 5% active ingredient twice a day.
• After only 28 days of treatment without exercise, a decrease of the double chin area up to 9.9% was observed, and up to 11.1% when combined with facial workout. Up to 17.2% decrease in oval contour after the active treatment, for a defined V-shaped face.
