Introduction and Objectives Cellulite is defined as a localized metabolic
disorder of subcutaneous tissue that causes an alteration in the female
body shape. It appears as a modification of skin topography evident by
skin dimpling and nodularity that occurs mainly in women on the pelvic
region, lower limbs, and abdomen and is caused by the herniation of subcutaneous
fat within fibrous connective tissue, leading to a padded or orange peel-like
appearance. The aim of this work was the design of an anti-cellulite peloid
using bentonite clay from Porto Santo Island and two plant extracts (Horse
Chestnut Extract and Ivy Extract). In this study, formulations containing
20% of smectite clay<180 _m from Porto Santo island and 10% of each
of the plant extracts were prepared.
Results After peloid application all the volunteers have reduced the circumference of the thighs. The effect of orange peel skin of all subjects improved with the applied treatment and the leg swelling decreased in subjects with fluid retention. After applying the peloid all the volunteers had a significant improvement in skin texture and appearance: the skin was smooth, hydrated and with tighter pores, presenting a greater firmness. The gel base formulation without clay caused an improvement in skin condition but there was no change in the centimeter measurements of the thighs of the volunteers.
Conclusions The results obtained in this
study demonstrate that the developed peloid with bentonite is effective
for anti-cellulite treatment.
