Somatoline is an Italian pharmaceutical and dermo-cosmetic brand founded in 2003 that specializes in science-based beauty treatments. The brand is part of the L. Manetti-H. Roberts & C. group and focuses on high-efficacy formulas designed to influence metabolic processes, specifically improving the skin’s microcirculation to result in slimmer, firmer, and smoother body areas.

Core Business and Methodology

The company leverages its pharmaceutical background to develop “Somatoline Cosmetic” (often marketed as Somatoline SkinExpert), which targets common skin-related concerns such as cellulite, localized fat accumulations, and loss of skin firmness.

Scientific Approach:
The brand emphasizes “Science that works,” utilizing clinically proven formulas whose efficacy is validated by independent institutes through rigorous volunteer testing.

Microcirculation Focus:
A key mechanism in their products is the reactivation of cutaneous microcirculation, which aids in the elimination of excess liquids and the breakdown of fatty tissues.

Natural Ingredients:
Many modern product lines emphasize natural origins, with some containing up to 95% natural ingredients and being free from silicones, parabens, and paraffin.

Key Product Categories

Somatoline offers a broad range of specialized treatments for both men and women:

Slimming and Anti-Cellulite:
Products like the “7 Nights Intensive Slimming” treatments use various thermal effects (warm or cryogenic cold) to target fat on the stomach, hips, and thighs.

Men’s Grooming:
Specifically formulated treatments for men include the “Top Definition Abdominal Sport Gel,” which uses a water-resistant polymer suitable for use during physical activity to redefine the abdominal area.

Medical and Over-the-Counter:
Beyond pure cosmetics, the brand offers pharmaceutical-grade gels and emulsions (e.g., Somatoline 0.1% + 0.3% Gel) containing active ingredients like levothyroxine and escin to combat localized cellulite.

Body Care Supplements:
They provide oral supplements, such as the “Cellu Expert,” which combine ingredients like centella asiatica, niacin, and vitamins to support skin health and combat cellulite from within.

Specialized Skin Solutions:
The catalog includes exfoliating scrubs (e.g., Pink Salt Scrub), firming masks for the buttocks, treatments for hypersweating (deodorants), and repair creams for recent stretch marks.

Notable Ingredients

The brand utilizes a variety of active substances to achieve results:

Lipolytic Agents:
Caffeine (often at 5%), coffee, cocoa, and guarana extracts to increase fat breakdown.

Draining and Firming:
Sea salt, escin, birch extracts, and ginger to stimulate microcirculation and drain excess fluids.

Nourishing Elements:
Argan oil, avocado oil, and Centella Asiatica for repairing and smoothing the skin.
