Cecropia obtusa Trécul
Cecropia obtusa Bark Extract is known for its capacity to reduce cellulite, which also results from restricted blood flow and stagnation of lymphatic fluids (congestion of connective tissue and accumulation of toxins) and there are indications that it activates the lipolysis (elimination of fat). The theory behind formulations such as these is that eye bags are formed by fat accumulating under the eyes, as a result of age-related skin loosening and water retention in the tissue, a sign of a bad lymphatic drainage. Ergo, a formulation is designed to reduce the water and fat held in the weakened tissues. The colorants are added as light refractors, making darker circles seem lighter.
