Frequently Asked Questions: Phosphatidylcholine and Shrinking Violet
What is phosphatidylcholine (PPC)?
Phosphatidylcholine is a phospholipid found naturally in biological cell membranes. It is also a major component of lecithin and is used in various cosmetic and specialist formulations.
Why is phosphatidylcholine used in Shrinking Violet?
PPC lecithin forms part of the Shrinking Violet Slimming Solution formulation, alongside sunflower oil and lavender essential oil. It is part of the brand’s distinctive topical body-treatment formulation.
Is phosphatidylcholine the same as lecithin?
Phosphatidylcholine is a specific phospholipid and a major component of many lecithin preparations. Lecithin is a mixture of different phospholipids and other lipid components, so the terms are related but not interchangeable.
Has phosphatidylcholine been used in aesthetic treatments?
Yes. Phosphatidylcholine has a history of use in injectable aesthetic preparations. Injectable and topical applications are different, however, and evidence for one does not automatically establish the efficacy of the other.
Does Shrinking Violet contain phosphatidylcholine?
The Shrinking Violet Slimming Solution formulation incorporates PPC lecithin. Customers should refer to the ingredient declaration on their individual product for its precise composition.
Has Shrinking Violet been clinically tested?
Yes. The professional Shrinking Violet Inch Loss Body Wrap underwent independent clinical testing. The published findings include measurements of body circumference, body fat, skin firmness and elasticity, as well as participant feedback.
Are all Shrinking Violet oils and kits clinically tested separately?
The published clinical trial relates to the tested professional body-wrap treatment protocol. It should not be represented as a separate clinical trial of every individual oil or home-use kit.
Can I use Shrinking Violet at home?
Yes. Shrinking Violet offers home-use body oils and treatment kits. Follow the individual product’s directions for use.
