But what does caffeine have to do with skin care?<\/p>\n<h3>Why is Caffeine so widely used in cosmetics?<\/h3>\n<p>Caffeine is a <strong>natural<\/strong> and <strong>biologically<\/strong> active compound. We often find it in our cosmetics and that happens for a series of reasons:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Caffeine stimulates the <strong>metabolism<\/strong>, prevents the accumulation of excess of <strong>fat in the cells<\/strong> but also stimulates the <strong>breakdown of existing fat<\/strong> and that\u2019s why caffeine a great <strong>anti-cellulite<\/strong> ingredient.<\/li>\n<li>When combined with <strong>Centella Asiatica<\/strong> polyphenols, it prevents fat storage, protects the skin from oxidation and maintains its elasticity.<\/li>\n<li>When combined with ivy extract, it decongests and <strong>detoxifies<\/strong> adipose tissue, while preventing the recurrence of cellulite and localized fat.<\/li>\n<li>Caffeine increases the <strong>microcirculation<\/strong> of the blood in the skin, helping to remove toxins from the body.<\/li>\n<li>Caffeine also has strong <strong>antioxidant<\/strong> properties, as it protects cells from ultraviolet radiation and slows down the skin&#8217;s aging process. Thus, its usage in sunscreen products,<br \/>\npromotes skin protection from the formation of free radicals and <strong>photoaging<\/strong> caused by the sun&#8217;s UV radiation.<\/li>\n<li>Caffeine slows down hair loss and stimulates <strong>hair growth<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<li>Caffeine effectively reduces the swelling of the <strong>tissue under the eyes<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<li>And the highlight is left for the end; Caffeine due to its <strong>low molecular weight<\/strong> penetrates the skin barrier and it is <strong>easily absorbed<\/strong> by the skin. In fact, its penetration is greater when it is formulated in emulsions, such as creams, compared to aqueous solutions, such as serums.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Caffeine\u2019s multifunctional and holistic properties, along with its natural origin, turned it in one of our favorite ingredients, found in many of our products:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"\/?p=874&amp;lang=en\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-1407\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/zeliacosmetics.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/BODY-CREAM-Small_1000%CE%A71000-510x510.jpg?resize=300%2C300&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\u039a\u03c1\u03ad\u03bc\u03b1 \u03c3\u03cd\u03c3\u03c6\u03b9\u03be\u03b7\u03c2 \u03c3\u03ce\u03bc\u03b1\u03c4\u03bf\u03c2\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"\/?p=874&amp;lang=en\">Body firming and moisturizing cream CHARIS &#8211; against cellulite<\/a><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_1403\" style=\"width: 310px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"\/?p=1229\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1403\" class=\"wp-image-1403 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/zeliacosmetics.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/FACE-SUNSCREEN-SMALL.jpg?resize=300%2C300&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\u0391\u03bd\u03c4\u03b7\u03bb\u03b9\u03b1\u03ba\u03ae \u03ba\u03c1\u03ad\u03bc\u03b1 \u03c0\u03c1\u03bf\u03c3\u03ce\u03c0\u03bf\u03c5 SPF 30\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-1403\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><a href=\"\/?p=1229\">Face &amp; Body sunscreen cream HELIATOR &#8211; SPF 30<\/a><\/p><\/div>\n<p><a href=\"\/?p=867&amp;lang=en\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-1094\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/zeliacosmetics.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/8455-EYE-CREAM-Small.jpg?resize=300%2C300&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\u0391\u03bd\u03c4\u03b9\u03c1\u03c5\u03c4\u03b9\u03b4\u03b9\u03ba\u03ae \u03ba\u03c1\u03ad\u03bc\u03b1 \u03bc\u03b1\u03c4\u03b9\u03ce\u03bd\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"\/?p=867&amp;lang=en\">Anti-wrinkle eye cream APHRODITE<\/a><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_1401\" style=\"width: 310px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"\/?p=1226\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1401\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-1401\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/zeliacosmetics.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/Q10-DAY-CREAM-SMALL.jpg?resize=300%2C300&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\u039a\u03c1\u03ad\u03bc\u03b1 \u03b7\u03bc\u03ad\u03c1\u03b1\u03c2 \u03bc\u03b5 \u03c3\u03c5\u03bd\u03ad\u03bd\u03b6\u03c5\u03bc\u03bf Q10\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-1401\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><a href=\"\/?p=1226\">Anti-oxidant day cream with coenzyme Q10 EROFILI<\/a><\/p><\/div>\n<pre><!--more-->\r\n\r\n\r\nSources:\r\n\uf0b7 <a href=\"https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/23075568\/\">Caffeine\u2019s Mechanisms of Action and Its Cosmetic Use Skin Pharmacol Physiol 2013; 26:8\u201314<\/a>\r\n\uf0b7<a href=\"https:\/\/www.routledge.com\/Herbal-Principles-in-Cosmetics-Properties-and-Mechanisms-of-Action\/Burlando-Verotta-Cornara-Bottini-Massa\/p\/book\/9781439812136\"> Burlando B, Verotta L, Cornara L, Bottini-Massa E: Herbal Principles in Cosmetics.
