Natural skin care composition containing selected hydroxylated vitamin D compounds or their glycosides, which are derived from plant sources (phytovitamins D). The plant extracts must contain a critical minimum concentration of the phytovitamin D (measured in equivalents of 1,25-(OH).sub.2 D in order to induce cell differentiation. In the alternative, phytovitamin D, especially phytovitamin D glycoside, is employed in conjunction with a plant-derived glycosidase.

Cosmetic compositions containing phytovitamin D

Anti-cellulite compositions based on a lipolytic active, which is an extract of Polygala tenuifolia, an extract of Platycodon grandiflorum, or an extract of Kochia scoparia. When Polygala tenuifolia or Platycodon grandiflorum is employed, a polar solvent extract is preferred. The extracts are preferably employed in conjunction with a xanthine, e.g. caffeine or theophylline (which are preferably obtained from a natural source), in order to lower the cost of the compositions.
