Cellulite is characterized by a weakness of the fascia which accumulates fat lobules alongside irregular lobular hypertrophy that causes skin dimpling and occurs mostly in women after puberty. Cellulite may arise from a sum of different conditions, such as emotional alterations, genetics, sedentary lifestyle, hormones, weight gain and poor nutrition. There are several techniques designed to prevent and treat cellulite, but consumers prefer topical lotions and creams due to them being more affordable. This work aimed to review studies published in scientific literature on major plant-based active ingredients used in anti-cellulite formulations commonly available to consumers.  Methodology: Nine formulations available to consumers were reviewed: 3 from Brazilian companies, 3 from US companies and 3 from European companies.  Results and discussion: The main active ingredients found in products claiming to reduce cellulite damage are: asiaticoside (obtained from Centella asiatica), Saponin (found in horse chestnut), Hedera helix (found in ivy), and caffeine.  Conclusion: There is a great diversity and vegetal assets; however, the most used are caffeine, for its lipolytic action, centella asiatica for presenting its anti-inflammatory action, ivy for improving circulation due to its action of vasoconstrictor and chestnut India that helps in strengthening vessels. Cosmetics are often used as a co-adjuvant of other techniques, such as modeling massage and ultrasound, which makes the active more easily penetrate the skin. Similar raw materials are incorporated into the cosmetic formulations with the skin, which will hydrate it, thus facilitating the penetration of the active substance into the skin.
