Caffeine, Anhydrous USP

Caffeine is a multifunctional, pharmaceutical grade, active ingredient that presents interesting possibilities for the formulation of personal care products and cosmeceuticals, where the same stimulating effects can be seen from topical use as are seen with internal use.

Caffeine is being used more, and more, in the cosmetics, and personal care, industry due to it's definite impact on fluids and the way that they are stored. Well known for it's ability to increase micro circulation, and reduce puffiness, it is recognized as one of the best actives for dark circles, puffiness, and cellulite treatments.

Excellent synergies for facial treatment:

• combine with Cell-Ox2 Phyto Peptide for dark circules and puffiness
• combine with PhytoLift/DMAE for tightening
• combine with Peptide for wrinkles
• combine with AT22 CelluliteAid for body applications geared towards cellulite

Because of the circulation enhancement it is also well known for its ability to reduce water retention in the tissues resulting in a slenderizing effect. In a Journal of Cosmetic Medicine (2008) article it was reported to have been very effective for 80% of the subjects tested. The treatment was analyzed after 30 days with 2x daily applications of a 7% treatment. Noticeable slimming effects were noted for the lower and upper thighs as well as the hips.
