SHAPING THE FUTURE SEAWEED the metabolism, helps increase blood flow and facilitates the swift burning of fat in the adjoining areas," says Flora Vergnolle, owner of Provence Cosmetics, whose Bioslimming Wrap and Bioslimming homecare products provide clients with a complete anticellulite regimen. The ingredient, according to Vergnolle, also plays a part in the fat-burning process itself. "Cellulite generally accumulates in areas with poor circulation, and the mix of high concentrations of caffeine with active ingredients—such as cedarwood, eucalyptus, rosemary essential oils and horse chestnut extract—help to stimulate micro-circulation, increase drainage of excess fluid and shrink fat cells," she explains. "Those same ingredients also help soften and break down the cellulite." At Pevonia, chemists combine highly micronized green coffee extract with actives such as chlorogenic acid, caffeic acid and phenolic acid. "We layer our Cellu-Smooth Green Coffee Wrap Treatment with a fast-absorbing niacin gel and green coffee concen- trate serum," says Pevonia's corporate educator Melissa Morris. "This works to control fat infiltration, release toxins, and slim and firm target areas." The company's take-home products, such as Smooth & Tone Body Svelt Cream and Gel, help to support the fatburning process between treatments. Niacin and its derivative, niacinamide, also help dilate blood vessels and push toxins through the connective tissue and into the lymphatic system so they can be flushed out. These are active ingredients in M'lis' Contour Body Wrap Cream, used in anti-cellulite wrap treatments. "We also use cassia, from the cinnamon family, to create a warming tonic, which assists the process," says Kimmie Matsunaga, M'lis manager and corporate educator. "And we use cucumber extract, which tightens the skin and binds moisture." A takehome maintenance lotion with the same formulation, but diluted with extra aloe, is for clients' daily use.
