Carnoxyn is an energizing complex that stimulates the Krebs cycle and β-oxidation in epidermal and dermal cells. Due to its balanced composition, it is a cosmetic active substance with strong penetration power and must be considered a cellular energy activator.
Its activity affects mitochondrial function by promoting carnitine palmitoyltransferase, an enzyme involved in the transport of fatty acids into the inner mitochondrial membrane. This enzyme activates cellular metabolism, producing energy through β-oxidation.
Carnoxyn, after all, has to be considered a cosmetic activator that improves the tonification of the cell operability (against localized adiposity and cellulitis). It increases the consumption of the fatty acids generated by lipolysis (fat degradation).
Thanks to its energizing properties, Carnoxyn boosts cellular activity and enhances the function of dermal cells, leaving noticeable anti-aging, anti-cellulite, and slimming effects. The skin appears tighter and firmer due to improved cellular respiration.
