Drawing on research advances concerning the hypodermis and, more specifically, adipocyte stem cells, Silab proposes Stemsvelt, a slimming and anti-cellulite active ingredient, rich in silybin, a polyphenol derived from the milk thistle plant.
Tested in vitro on innovative cell models, Stemsvelt prevents adipocyte stem cells/progenitors from entering the differentiation programme. It thereby limits the formation of new adipocytes and the accumulation of lipids in lipid vacuoles. It also stimulates the lipolytic activity of mature adipocytes and promotes the elimination of lipids stored in the adipose cells. Tested in vivo, Stemsvelt reduces the unattractive orange peel appearance of the skin and refines the silhouette; its efficacy is optimised by the use of a massage tool. Cellulite is smoothed and the skin is visibly enhanced, firmer and more toned.
