Caffeine is an alkaloid belonging to the xanthine chemical group and has long been used in cosmetics for lipolytic activity by increasing the cAMP, activating the lipase responsible for the hydrolysis of triglycerides in the adipocytes.
More recently, caffeine has been shown to have an anti-proliferative activity and inhibitory effect on skin tumors after UV exposure in animal models.
Caffeine has also been described to boost hair growth and increase hair fiber diameter.
