Abstract. Fibro-sclerotic edematous panniculopathy
is a condition that affects 80% of post-pubertal women. The symptomatology
represents a degenerative alteration of the dermal and hypodermic tissue,
unaesthetic, for both women and men. For this reason, new treatments and new
anti-cellulite cosmetic actives are constantly being researched.
Phytocosmetology has
made available natural substances that act against dermo-hypodermic dystrophy
in different ways: reducing non-inflammatory edema, reducing lipid deposits and
blocking the glycation of collagen fibers.
Vegetable
oils and butters are important functional agents in the formulation of cosmetic
products, but they can also play an essential role as cosmetic actives.
Until
now, a systematization of vegetable oils and butters as cosmetic actives with
an anti-cellulite role has not been done.
The
objective of this review is to highlight and list in a single work, the
cosmetic assets such as oils and butters with an anti-cellulite role, analyzing
the chemical composition, the anti-cellulite action mechanisms and the clinical
studies existing to date regarding their anti-cellulite effect.
Keywords:
