Abstract
Anti-cellulite compositions based on a lipolytic active, which is an extract of Polygala tenuifolia, an extract of Platycodon grandiflorum, or an extract of Kochia scoparia. When Polygala tenuifolia or Platycodon grandiflorum is employed, a polar solvent extract is preferred. The extracts are preferably employed in conjunction with a xanthine, e.g. caffeine or theophylline (which are preferably obtained from a natural source), in order to lower the cost of the compositions.
