Glaucine is a plant alkaloid that appears in body cosmetics, mainly anti-cellulite and contouring products. Formulators include it for its claimed effect on the volume of fat cells in the application area. It is worth being plain about efficacy. The manufacturer links glaucine to reduced volume of fat deposits, but independent data are scarce, and the effect, if any, would be local and limited. Treat it as a marketing component with modest backing rather than a real fix for cellulite or localized fat. For topical use it has no systemic relevance, so it can be used during pregnancy and breastfeeding. Tolerance is good, with low irritation and allergy potential.
