Natural Lycopene Oil
Natural lycopene oil, sourced from tomatoes, Solanum lycopersicum, is obtained from the extraction of lycopene, a carotenoid pigment found in tomatoes and other red fruits and vegetables. Lycopene oil is characterized by its deep red color and is known for its antioxidant properties, which may help protect cells from damage caused by free radicals. It is commonly used in dietary supplements, food products, and cosmetic formulations. The production of lycopene oil typically involves the extraction of lycopene from tomato pomace or other sources using solvent extraction methods, followed by purification and concentration. The resulting oil can be standardized for lycopene content and used in various applications in the food, pharmaceutical, and cosmetic industries.
Commonly found in commercial lines of skin care products, Lycopene is used for a multitude of purposes, including products for acne, photodamage, pigmentation, skin moisturization, skin texture, skin elasticity, and skin superficial structure. This distinct carotenoid can effectively protect against oxidative and environmental stress while softening and restoring skin texture. Contact us for more information: grace@biowaycn.com.
