When I heard about this crazy wrap thing, I was skeptical too. No way it can work, I said. That can't be good for you, I said. But six months down the road I saw my family and friends were toning, tightening, and firming - and fast!
So I decided to check it out. Being the label reader I am, I asked about the ingredients. It's all-natural, they said. It's good for your body, they said. But I soon came to learn that all the ingredients are plant derived! So it's natural, it's good for you, and it works - in as little a 45 minutes. It's this crazy wrap thing, and it's taking over.
For those of you who, like me, need to read the label I'm going to break out the ingredients. Not just the latin name (who can read those anyways) but many common names and a little about each one. I hope this helps those of you who are still on the fence.

This ingredient is a known antioxidant and it helps to prevent sun damage and promote moisture retention when used in skin care products.

It is used when a positive effect on the sustaining skin tissues is desired, for reduction and prevention of the effects of cutaneous aging, for destroying free radicals and for moisturizing. In vitro studies have shown that methylsilanol manurronate normalizes cellular metabolism, is a tissue re-generator, and aids in the reduction of cellulite.
