What is a medical success often presents itself as an aesthetic challenge on the face: sunken cheeks, sagging skin, a tired appearance. However, there are targeted cosmetic strategies to counteract this loss of volume. With innovative active ingredients like Volpura EP and Volpura EPO, skin structure and volume can be specifically improved.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>What is the \u201cOzempic Face\u201d?<\/h2>\n<p>Those who lose weight rapidly through medications like Ozempic do not just lose body fat\u2014the subcutaneous fat in the face also decreases. The skin suddenly appears hollow, lines become more pronounced, and youthful freshness is lost. This condition is described in aesthetics as the Ozempic Face.<\/p>\n<h3>The cosmetic solution: volume restoration with Volpura\u00ae<\/h3>\n<p>Two active ingredients from the Volpura product line\u2014Volpura EP and Volpura EPO\u2014target this issue directly. They are based on a supercritical fluid extraction (SFE) of Echinacea purpurea and aim to stimulate the skin\u2019s natural adipocyte activity.<\/p>\n<h3>Mechanism of action<\/h3>\n<p>Both extracts promote the formation and enlargement of fat cells in the subcutaneous layer. They activate the adipogenesis master regulator PPAR-\u03b3, leading to up to a fivefold increase in lipid production in treated cells\u2014a key mechanism for revitalization in Ozempic Face.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>Physicochemical Properties &amp; Formulation<\/h2>\n<h3>Volpura EP<\/h3>\n<p><b>INCI:<\/b> Echinacea Purpurea Extract (and) Propanediol<\/p>\n<p><b>Recommended usage concentration:<\/b> 1\u20133%<\/p>\n<p><b>Carrier system:<\/b> water-soluble, suitable for emulsions<\/p>\n<h3>Volpura EPO<\/h3>\n<p><b>INCI:<\/b> Echinacea Purpurea Extract (and) Squalane (and) Caprylic\/Capric Triglyceride<\/p>\n<p><b>Recommended usage concentration:<\/b> 1\u20133%<\/p>\n<p><b>Delivery system:<\/b> oil-based, ideal for anhydrous formulations<\/p>\n<p>Both variants demonstrate excellent stability\u2014particularly Volpura EPO, which showed no significant changes in the active alkylamides in tests at 85\u00b0C over a period of six hours.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>Proven efficacy: Results from studies<\/h2>\n<p>Clinical studies confirm the visible effects:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Reduction of fine lines and wrinkles (forehead, crow\u2019s feet, nasolabial folds)<\/li>\n<li>Improvement in skin elasticity and firmness by 14% and 44%, respectively<\/li>\n<li>Subjective improvement in skin volume in the face and hands after 12 weeks of use<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>A concentration as low as 0.3% was sufficient to increase lipid production in vitro fivefold.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>Advantages and disadvantages of Volpura active ingredients<\/h2>\n<h3>Pros<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Botanical origin, well-tolerated, and highly formulation-compatible<\/li>\n<li>Multifunctional: suitable for the face, neck, d\u00e9collet\u00e9, and hands<\/li>\n<li>Effective against volume loss, particularly with Ozempic Face<\/li>\n<li>Stable in heat, even in hot-pour products such as lip care\u200b<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Cons<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Long-term data is lacking for applications over several months\/years<\/li>\n<li>Not suitable for minimalist INCI formulations, as it is a complex active ingredient<\/li>\n<li>Volume restoration takes patience \u2013 visible effects only after several weeks<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>Complementary active ingredients against \u201cOzempic Face\u201d<\/h2>\n<h3>Fulvic acid \u2013 the gentle antioxidant star<\/h3>\n<p>Fulvic acid is produced during the natural decomposition of plant material and is rich in electrolytes, silicic acid, and trace elements.
