Technical Details & Test Data

Scientific Process
  • Breasts are connected to the thorax by Cooper’s ligaments. With no tensor muscles, their only support is skin envelope. The sagging of this tissue (caused by multiple factors: childbirth, slimming, menopause, etc.) leads to a loss of breast tension and firmness.
  • Saponins and phytosterols, with their hormone-like properties, stimulate the activity of dermal fibroblasts, increase water, hyaluronic acid and collagen content.
    Flavonoids, with their vasculoprotective and veinotonic action, combat skin aging. Simultaneous provision of these modules serves to firm bust and breasts.
Mechanism of Action

Simultaneous provision of saponins and phytosterols, with their hormone-like properties, and of veinotonic flavonoids, visibly firms skin and bust.
