ADIPO-TRAP: Your Advanced Solution for Body Contouring and Cellulite Reduction

Unlock the secret to smoother, firmer skin with ADIPO-TRAP, an innovative active ingredient meticulously crafted in Italy. This powerful brown liquid, a glycerin solution derived from the hydrolysis of Drosera Ramentacea Leaf (INCI: Hydrolyzed Drosera Ramentacea Leaf), is a game-changer in body contouring formulations. With a recommended inclusion rate of 3-5% and easy water solubility, ADIPO-TRAP from the renowned Phenbiox brand is designed to deliver visible results, helping to reduce the appearance of cellulite and refine body contours.

Description and Key Features

ADIPO-TRAP, also known by its synonym Adipo-trap, represents the cutting edge in cosmetic science for body care. This unique active is obtained through the precise hydrolysis of Drosera Ramentacea Leaf, a carnivorous plant known for its active compounds. The resulting glycerin solution ensures excellent stability and easy integration into a variety of water-based formulations. Its characteristic brown color is a natural indicator of its rich botanical origin.

Key features:

• Potent Anti-Cellulite Action: ADIPO-TRAP is specifically formulated to target adipocytes (fat cells), helping to reduce their size and accumulation, which directly contributes to a smoother skin surface and reduced appearance of cellulite.
• Body Contouring: Beyond cellulite reduction, this active promotes a more defined and sculpted body contour by addressing localized fat deposits.
• Natural Origin: Derived from the Drosera Ramentacea plant, appealing to consumers seeking natural and botanical solutions in their skincare.
• Water-Soluble: Its excellent water solubility makes it highly versatile and easy to incorporate into a wide range of cosmetic formulations, particularly those with an aqueous phase.
• Optimal Temperature for Integration: Designed for introduction into formulations at 65°C, ensuring its stability and efficacy are maintained during the manufacturing process.
• Renowned Brand: As a product from Phenbiox, ADIPO-TRAP carries the assurance of Italian quality and research-backed performance.

Versatile Applications and Usage Areas in Cosmetics

ADIPO-TRAP is an invaluable active ingredient for formulators aiming to create high-performance body care products that address concerns related to body contouring, cellulite, and skin firmness. Its water solubility and specific temperature for integration make it suitable for a variety of product types:

• Anti-Cellulite Creams and Gels:
  • Targeted Treatments: Formulate highly effective creams and gels specifically designed to be massaged into areas prone to cellulite, such as thighs, buttocks, and abdomen.
  • Smoothing and Firming: These products will help improve skin texture, making it appear smoother and firmer.
• Body Contouring and Slimming Lotions:
  • Sculpting Effect: Incorporate ADIPO-TRAP into lotions aimed at refining body contours and reducing the appearance of localized fat deposits.
  • Daily Use: Create light, easily absorbed lotions for daily application to maintain and improve skin elasticity and tone.
• Professional Spa Treatments:
  • Wraps and Masks: Utilize ADIPO-TRAP in professional body wraps and masks, where its concentrated action can be maximized through occlusive application.
  • Massage Oils/Creams: Integrate into massage formulations used in spa treatments for an enhanced body sculpting experience.
• Firming Serums and Concentrates:
  • Intensive Care: Develop potent serums and concentrates for intensive treatment, delivering a high dose of the active to areas requiring significant improvement in firmness and contour.
• Post-Workout Body Products:
  • Recovery and Toning: Create products applied after physical activity to support skin toning and complement the effects of exercise on body shape.
• Shower and Bath Products (less common, but possible):
  • While not its primary application due to wash-off nature, ADIPO-TRAP could be included in some specialized shower gels or bath soaks designed to provide a subtle firming benefit. However, the efficacy would be lower than leave-on products.

Important Considerations for Formulation:

• Temperature of Introduction: Always ensure ADIPO-TRAP is introduced into the formulation at 65°C to maintain its integrity and efficacy. This typically means adding it during the cool-down phase of an emulsion or directly to heated aqueous solutions before final cooling.
• Mixing: Ensure thorough mixing to evenly disperse the active throughout the product.
• pH Stability: While generally stable, always test the final product's pH to ensure it is within the optimal range for the overall formulation and the stability of all ingredients.
• Sensory Profile: Be mindful of the natural brown color of the solution, which may impart a subtle tint to your final product, especially in white or very light formulations.

Cosmetic Recipe: "Sculpt & Smooth" Cellulite & Contouring Cream

Create a luxurious, effective anti-cellulite and body contouring cream that utilizes ADIPO-TRAP for targeted action.

Instructions for Preparation:

1. Sanitization: Thoroughly sanitize all your equipment (beakers, stirring rods, containers) using isopropyl alcohol and allow them to air dry completely.
2. Prepare Phases A & B: In separate heat-resistant beakers, combine the ingredients for Phase A (water and glycerin) and Phase B (emulsifying wax, shea butter, sweet almond oil, cetyl alcohol).
3. Heat Phases: Gently heat both Phase A and Phase B on a double boiler or in a microwave (using short bursts) until they reach 70-75°C. Ensure all solid ingredients in Phase B are fully melted.
4. Emulsification: Slowly pour Phase A (water phase) into Phase B (oil phase) while continuously stirring with a stick blender or whisk on low speed. Continue blending until a stable, homogeneous emulsion forms. The mixture will begin to thicken as it cools.
5. Cool Down: Continue stirring the emulsion periodically as it cools down.
6. Add Phase C: When the emulsion reaches approximately 65°C, add the ADIPO-TRAP. Stir well to ensure it is fully incorporated.
7. Add Remaining Actives: Continue cooling to 40°C or below, then add the pre-dissolved caffeine solution (if using powdered caffeine, dissolve it in a small amount of hot water from Phase A before emulsification or in some heated distilled water if adding separately), preservative, Vitamin E, and essential oil blend. Stir thoroughly until all ingredients are evenly distributed.
8. pH Adjustment (Recommended): Check the pH of your finished cream. For body creams, a pH between 5.0 and 6.0 is generally ideal for skin compatibility and preservative efficacy. Adjust if necessary using a diluted solution of lactic acid (to lower pH) or baking soda solution (to raise pH), adding drop by drop and rechecking.
9. Final Transfer: Carefully transfer the finished cream into clean, sterile jars or pump bottles.

Recommendations for Application and Use:

• Optimal Dosing: The recommended inclusion rate for ADIPO-TRAP is 3-5%. Using 5% in this recipe maximizes its efficacy for anti-cellulite and contouring benefits.
• Temperature Sensitivity: Always adhere to the recommended 65°C introduction temperature for ADIPO-TRAP to ensure its stability and effectiveness in the final product. Adding it at too high a temperature might degrade its active compounds, while adding it too cold might hinder proper incorporation.
• Massage Application: For best results, advise users to apply the cream to affected areas (thighs, buttocks, abdomen) with firm, circular massage motions to enhance absorption and stimulate circulation.
• Consistency: Consistent daily use is crucial for visible results in cellulite reduction and body contouring.
• Storage: Store the finished cream in a cool, dark place, away from direct sunlight, to maintain the integrity of the active ingredients and overall product stability.
• Pairing: For enhanced results, recommend combining the use of this cream with regular exercise, a balanced diet, and adequate hydration.
• Natural Color: Be aware that the natural brown color of ADIPO-TRAP may impart a slight tint to your final product, especially if your base is very white. This is normal and a sign of the natural origin of the active.
