Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0022] The functional formulations of the present invention may comprise:

[0023] a) a phase composed of a mixture of nanosome spheres of biotechnological origin added to low molecular weight hyaluronic acid in a concentration of 5 to 10% by weight,

[0024] b) a plant complex phase in a concentration of 10 to 30% by weight, in each case based on the total weight of the formulation,

[0025] it can optionally also include other auxiliaries and additives.

[0026] The functional formulations of the present invention may also comprise chrome picolinate, aminoacids, essential minerals and plant extracts in the so-called “plant complex phase”.

[0027] Mixtures of nanosome beads of biotechnological origin added to low molecular weight hyaluronic acid are commercially available, the mixture of ethylhexyl palmitate, silica dimethyl silylate; butylene glycol and sodium hyaluronate obtained from BASF under the trade name Epiderfilll being particularly preferred.

[0028] Additional ingredients beneficial to the skin and to the body, such as other anti-aging ingredients, vitamins, hormones, pain relievers, anesthetics, botanical extracts, drugs, processing aids, minerals, plant extracts, concentrates of plant extracts, emollients, moisturizers, skin protectors, humectants, silicones, soothing skin ingredients, dyes, perfumes and the like can be added to the formulation. The quantities of such ingredients can be as needed and not limited to any specific limits.

[0029] In a preferred embodiment, the functional cosmetic formulation of the present invention comprises the components as listed in table 1.

TABLE-US-00001 TABLE 1 components of the preferred embodiment of the present invention COMPONENT WEIGHT % BASE: polyisobutene, mineral oil, 50 to 80% hydrogenated ethylene, propylene, styrene copolymer, hydrogenated butylene/ethylene, tocopheryl acetate, ethylhexyl palmitate, beeswax, STEARETH 2, STEARETH 20, coconut oil, palm oil, ceresine, benzophenone-3, saccharin BHT ANTI-WRINKLE COMPONENT:  5 to 10% ethylhexyl palmitate, dimethyl silica silylation, butylene glycol, sodium hyaluronate PLANT EXTRACT (e.g. GARCINIA  5 to 15% CAMBOGIA fruit extract) PLANT EXTRACT (e.g. GYMNEMA  5 to 15% SYLVESTRE leaf extract) COLORANT  5 to 10% FLAVORING AGENT 0 to 1%

[0030] In a preferred embodiment, the functional formulation of the present invention comprises the ingredients listed in table 2.

TABLE-US-00002 TABLE 2 Components of the formulation COMPONENT WEIGHT Deionized water 87.849 Klucel HXF 1.500 Xanthan gum 0.500 Alginate 2.000 Picolinate 2.000 Thryptophane 0.010 Molibdenium 0.090 Beetroot 0.800 Capsico 0.050 Nipagim 0.150 Nipasol 0.200 Glycerin 2.000 Soy lecithin 1.300 Polyssorbate 80 0.500 Citric acid 0.150 Ascorbic acid 0.100 Sucralose 0.001 Strawberry flavoring 0.300 Carmine 0.010 Pomceau R4 0.010 Bordeaux S 0.010 Red pigment 40 0.010

[0031] The invention refers, in addition to the composition itself, to the use of the functional food supplement formulation as a lipstick, in particular as a functional lipstick. The formulation may also act as a plant based medicine, in case specific active principles are added in the so-called plant complex phase.

[0032] The invention additionally refers to the use of the functional cosmetic formulation according to the invention as a weight loss and cellulite control agent.

[0033] Growing fat lobes push the upper tissues to the skin's surface causing an uneven appearance of the skin known as “orange peel”. Although this phenomenon is physiological at a moderate pace, it is often considered to be a cosmetic and aesthetic problem to be eliminated. That is why the purpose of this certificate of addition is to provide an effective cosmetic solution for reducing measures, capable of visibly combating cellulite and the “orange peel” appearance. In order to answer this, the invention proposes the use of plant extracts of gymnema (Gymnema sylvestre R. Br.) and garcinia (Garcinia cambogia L.).

[0034] In fact, surprisingly, a product obtained from plant extracts of gymnema (Gymnema sylvestre R. Br.) and garcinia (Garcinia cambogia L.) has significant effects on the skin with very interesting cosmetic properties, in particular a high lipolytic efficiency and a significant, new and surprising effect on the main fatty acid internalization and metabolism pathways inside adipocytes.

[0035] The above description is intended to illustrate the present invention without limiting it. Unless otherwise stated, all amounts of data, content and percentage content are based on the weight and the total amount or the total weight of the formulations.
