What is cellulite?

Cellulite is a disruption of fat cells that can't make its normal functions and they swell up more and more showing lumps and/or dimples on the skin surface giving an orange peel-like appearance.

You can check if you have cellulite gently pinching the skin of the upper thigh. If you make it and you can see dimples as an orange peel, you most likely have cellulite.

The high compression of the fabric and its great elasticity together with the movement of your body while you do sport produces massaging effect that increases blood circulation so helps to burn fat faster.

Composition of the microcapsules:

Caffeine: Consecrated as the anticellulite and reducing cream’s classic substance, it deeply penetrates and improves the skin’s microcirculation. Just like the L-Carnitine, it is lypolitic, which helps burn fats, thus reducing local adiposities.

Vitamin E: Powerful antioxidant that acts protecting cell structures.

Hemp oil: One of its benefits is its ability to regulate the sebaceous glands’ secretion, making it ideal to treat disorders related to both dry skins and oily skins.

Among the hemp oil ingredients, linoleic (Omega 6) and linolenic (Omega 3) polyunsaturated fatty acids are those in greater amounts, providing a smooth texture as well as anti-inflammatory properties. Therefore, it is greatly beneficial when treating irritated, inflamed or itchy skins.

Cosmetic products that contain hemp oil have moisturizing, firming and regenerating properties. It doesn’t contain THC, a psychoactive element found in the marijuana’s resin, so it has no side effects.

Soybean oil: Rich in polyunsaturated fatty acids as well, it is ideal for skin care. It helps normalize linoleic acid levels in particularly dry skins, improves irritated skins and preserves the skin lipid barrier. Used in cosmetic products, soybean oil has two primary qualities, its ability to retain water, which improves the skin’s elasticity and flexibility, and its antioxidant power than comes from its large amount of vitamin E, suitable to prevent and delay cellular aging.
