Cold Anti-Cellulite Gel Formulation

Thank you for your question. You are looking to make 1 kg each of a cold anti-cellulite gel and an anti-cellulite shower gel.

Regarding the anti-cellulite shower gel, as previously explained by the staff, ingredients that help reduce cellulite need to be left on the skin to be absorbed and effective. Therefore, making an anti-cellulite product in the form of a shower gel is not effective because the active ingredients will be washed off immediately.

For the cold anti-cellulite gel, this is definitely possible. To calculate the exact amount of each ingredient needed for 1 kg (1000 grams) of product, you need a specific formula that lists each ingredient and its percentage (%) in the total formula.

Based on the search for anti-cellulite ingredients like Caffeine, two relevant products were found:

• Encapsulated Caffeine (50% Caffeine Active)
• Energy-Blend™ (Caffeine+Adenosine+Vitamin B3)

While both are used in anti-cellulite formulas, Energy-Blend™ may cause a warm sensation on the skin at effective concentrations. Therefore, Encapsulated Caffeine (50% Caffeine Active) is more suitable for a cold gel formula.

The recommended usage rate for Encapsulated Caffeine (50% Caffeine Active) in body formulas is up to 5%.

As an example, if you were to use Encapsulated Caffeine (50% Caffeine Active) at the maximum recommended rate of 5% in your 1 kg (1000g) gel, you would need:

• Encapsulated Caffeine (50% Caffeine Active): 5% of 1000g = 50 grams

The remaining 95% (950 grams) would consist of your gel base (like water, gelling agent), preservatives, fragrance, cooling agents (if desired for extra cold sensation), and any other desired additives.

To make 1 kg of the gel, you would need to determine the percentages of all other ingredients in your formula so that the total adds up to 100%. Once you have a complete formula with percentages, you can easily calculate the exact weight needed for each ingredient to make 1000 grams of the final product.

We recommend starting with a basic gel base formula and incorporating the active ingredient at the desired percentage. You can find basic gel formulation guidelines in the resources previously shared by the staff.

If you have a specific gel base or gelling agent in mind, or if you find a base gel formula you'd like to use, we can help you calculate the quantities based on that formula.

In summary, focus on making a leave-on gel rather than a shower gel for effective anti-cellulite results. Start with a base gel formula and add Encapsulated Caffeine (50% Caffeine Active) at a suitable percentage (up to 5% for the body) to create your cold anti-cellulite gel.
