Foreword This South African standard was approved by National Committee SABS TC 217, Cosmetics, in accordance with procedures of the SABS Standards Division, in compliance with annex 3 of the WTO/TBT agreement. This document was published in May 2010. Cellulite is the popular name given to body fat that occurs primarily on the buttocks and thighs, disrupting the smoothness of the surface of the skin and giving it a dimpled appearance. The existence of cellulite is generally accepted, but the idea that it is a special type of body fat is not. Like all fat, the only way that cellulite can be removed non-surgically is by reducing energy intake to below that of energy expenditure.
