Description
Organic Ivy Extract – Supporting Skin Firmness and Toning "Orange Peel" Areas
Ivy Extract is a botanical ingredient recognized in body cosmetics for its skin toning and conditioning properties, obtained by macerating Hedera helix leaves in a vegetable glycerin base. Due to its natural content of saponins (hederacosides), this certified organic extract is traditionally used as an adjuvant in products destined for areas prone to cellulite and water retention. It is a versatile solution for giving the skin a firmer, smoother, and more defined appearance, while simultaneously acting as a gentle hydrating agent thanks to its glycerinic base.

Botanical Profile and Composition
Ivy is a perennial plant whose value in cosmetics comes from the phytocompounds found in its leaves, which interact harmoniously with the skin structure:
- Saponins (Hederacoside C and Hederin): The main active compounds responsible for the toning effect and the improvement of the skin's micro-relief.
- Flavonoids: Provide antioxidant protection and help maintain skin elasticity.
- Tannins: Contribute to the astringent effect and the refining of the epidermal texture.
- Polyacetylenes: Compounds that provide support in maintaining a healthy scalp and skin.
Main Properties
- Toning Agent: Contributes to restoring the firm appearance of the skin, especially on problematic areas (thighs, buttocks, abdomen).
- Texture Improver: Helps visibly smooth "orange peel" skin through its conditioning properties.
- Astringent and Purifying: Refines the skin surface and helps control areas prone to oiliness.
- Revitalizing: Offers a sensation of freshness and lightness to tired legs through massage with formulas containing this extract.

Ideal in formulations for eye contour skin care, treatments for puffy and dark circles eyes, anti-cellulite cream formulations, buttocks and thighs cream
Ideal in eye contour skin care formulations, eye treatments for bags and dark circles, anti-cellulite cream formulations, buttocks and thigh cream .
I use the ivy extract in my vein gel. It has a draining effect, promotes microcirculation, firms and tightens. Also great for eye bags and dark circles, as well as for cellulite and orange peel skin. So, so to say, it is perfect for every woman.
This time I purchased it in the 100 ml version for the formula in the Ellemental body area firming prescription. I made the second batch of the cream because it is requested by friends.
I can't wait to see how it works for a friend who asked me to make something for her cellulite. I made her a body butter following the Ellemental recipe.
It is an excellent product for cellulite as it acts against edematous cellulite by strengthening capillaries and veins.
Ivy extract is a very good anti-cellulite and a very good ingredient for dark circles, but in the eye area we have to take into account the concentration allowed in the eye area
I don't miss it in my slimming/anti-cellulite cream. It is very potent and works wonders with the other oils for adipose tissue.
I used it in small concentrations in a cream for dark circles. The cream turned out to be very good, I have not yet tried it as an anti-cellulite ingredient, but I plan to make a formulation in which I will definitely include this extract.
The anti-cellulite cream can't exist without adding ivy extract. It is wonderful and the effects are seen quickly.
For eyes. Very effective in relieving puffy eyes. Did a compress. Helped a lot. I did the foot oil, the effect is also wonderful.
The product is indicated for cellulite, unsightly local fat deposits, orange peel skin, sagging skin, lack of firmness, bust, abdomen, buttocks and thighs care, body remodeling.

This extract is wonderful in compositions for anti-cellulite gel like bodycontour and for shower gel/exfoliating scrub to prepare the skin for body treatment.
I have used it in the Emul gel complex silhouette recipe. It is very effective, improves the appearance of cellulite looking skin. It helps to firm the skin.
Indispensable in all recipes for firming the skin and improving the appearance caused by cellulite. Gums, creams, I have added it even in ready-made, commercial creams (in f large percentage natural) and it has had a tremendous effect.
I use it in massage oil, it even reduces the orange peel look.It helps to improve skin firmness.I recommend:))
It would be helpful if you could specify e.g. 1g with how many ml it is equivalent to, it would be very helpful.Otherwise the service is great and the products are great.
