This Product Is: a firming body treatment cream
Good For: all skin types including dry, mature, sensitive, blemish-prone, combination and normal
Why We Love It: African Botanics Svelte Cream is a sculpting body treatment that has been formulated to help tighten, contour and reinforce the skin's structure. Created using African Botanic's unique phytocomplex of milk thistle, sacred lotus leaf, horsetail, spiruline, guarana and marine red seaweed extract, this body cream works to stimulate lipolytic activity, helping to strengthen the skin's structure and improve firmness. Additionally, kigelia Africana, ivy extract, juniperberry, thyme, cypress, grapefruit, and active marine algae help to firm skin, while caffiene helps to stimulate blood flow and improve skin's texture and smoothness. Lastly, Vitamin C, marula oil and hyaluronic acid help to improve collagen production and moisturize skin.
Apply AM/PM. Vigorously massage using circular strokes and ascending movements concentrating on areas of concern (stomach, waist, thighs, hips, arms and buttocks).
For best results: Use consistently, dry brush/exfoliate regularly, drink plenty of water and include regular exercise.

This fragrance is comprised of (Click on a fragrance category for more info):
Essential Oils
Essential OilsAuthentic essential oils are physically extracted by steam or expression (cold pressing) of the skin of the fruit. Essential oils have not been chemically altered (via reaction, solvent extraction) from their natural state. |
Certified Organic Fragrance
Certified Organic FragranceA blend of essential oils (see above) derived from plants that are grown in accordance with the USDA National Organic Program. |
Natural Fragrance
Natural FragranceNatural fragrances are mixtures of aromatic raw materials. As opposed to a whole essential oil found in a plant, these chemicals are physically isolated from natural compounds, then blended together to create a scent. If only natural isolates are used, companies can declare the scent “natural.” |
Naturally-Derived Fragrance
Naturally-Derived FragranceFragrance ingredients that have been extracted using solvents (alcohol, petrochemicals, vegetable oils), or extracted by fermentation, or ingredients which may have a natural component but have been significantly processed. |
Synthetic Fragrance
Unfragranced/UnscentedIngredients which are new molecules, made in a laboratory. The majority of synthetic constituent ingredients are from petroleum byproducts. Synthetic “nature-identical” ingredients fall into this category as well. Credo allows synthetic fragrances as long as there are no Dirty List components. |

What's Behind "Fragrance"?
US law does not require that companies be transparent about the ingredients in fragrance/parfum. Credo believes in your right-to-know. We require all brands to categorize the fragrance in each product (see chart above), and encourage brands to fully disclose all scent ingredients.
All products are cruelty-free and formulated without ingredients on The Dirty List™️. At Credo, "clean" goes even deeper. Learn more.
