Italiano term

intossinazione

Da Italiano a Inglese Altro Cosmetica, Bellezza
This is from a description of hair care products:

"L’aggregazione di tossine, o **intossinazione**, tende a ridurre sensibilmente l’elasticità della cute"

Is this just another way to say "intoxication"? I find some references in Italian explaining that "intossicazione" comes from the outside and "intossinazione" from within, but cannot find the latter in any of my reference sources.
Has anyone else come across this?

Thanks all!

Michele Fauble Jul 10, 2009:
I understand 'intossinazione' to be an appositive, "L’aggregazione di tossine, o intossinazione, tende ...", "The accumulation of toxins, or toxicity, tends ..." Two terms for the same thing, and hence the singular verb 'tende', rather than 'tendono'.

Well, acutally the literal translation I found for your term was "poisoning," but I felt it wasn't quite appropriate, based on the previous phrase, i.e., the use of the term the "aggegazione."

Thanks femme! I was hoping that there is one word that will fit here so that the sentence will flow nicely.

toxicity

... the body's detoxifying capacity. All of these factors can contribute to an accumulation of toxins, or toxicity.

agree Sarah Ferrara : even though you are looking for one word, I like "accumulation of toxins"

thanks
disagree Lionel_M (X) : questo è la tossicità, non l'intossinazione. Una sostanza può essere tossica senza intossinare, ovvero senza indurre accumulo di essa o di tossine che derivano dal suo metabismo

See my references, where "toxicity" seems to be being used in the sense of "accumulation of toxins". This use of 'toxicity' may be scientifically inaccurate, but that is not unusual in this type of text (personal care products).

see how toxificatiuon is used here - I think it merely means accumulation of toxins

Thank you, Shera Lyn!

neutral Michele Fauble : I see no reason to think that toxification - see the definition in your reference - is what is meant here.

an accumulation in the body is not passive and that is what causes the problems - thus my suggestion.

auto-intoxication / [omit]

found this, though am not 100% convinced.
To me it seems that it's just a one-word term for the build-up of toxins that perhaps we don't have in English, so maybe it could be omitted?
i.e. "the build-up of toxins to tends to..."

Auto-intoxication – the process by which the body literally poisons itself by maintaining a cesspool of decaying matter in the large intestine. The toxins released “seep” into the bloodstream and every cell is affected, including skin cells. Many skin disorders are based in this condition including, but not limited to, acne, rosacea, psoriasis, hives, eczema, multiple allergies, and premature aging.

The following are examples of internal causes of skin problems, but not limited to:

Auto-intoxication is the process by which the body literally poisons itself by maintaining a cesspool of decaying matter in the colon. The toxins released by the decay process get into the bloodstream and every cell is affected, including skin cells.

Note: Autointoxication must be either ruled out or eliminated before any other protocols for skin disorders should be considered.
