Based on a medical approach that has been adopted by the cosmetics industry, nanosphere technology allows ingredients to be delivered exactly where needed, thus maximizing their efficacy and achieving remarkable, direct results. This revolutionary system is specifically used to target fat cells, with a slimming effect that is enhanced by the known anti-cellulite, draining and detoxifying properties of seaweed. The diameter of the nanospheres used in the Mud Gel formula is 220 nanometres (1 nanometre is one millionth of a millimetre); on their outer surface there are peptide structures (ligands), whose composition, once the nanospheres have been absorbed by the skin, allows them to target and bind to specific adipocyte (fat cell) receptors. The “key/ lock” mechanism allows the nanospheres to penetrate the fat cell, where they release a fat-burning active ingredient capable of both reducing the volume and preventing the formation of new lipids (lipogenesis) and new fat cells (adipogenesis).
