Hydrolysed Tomato Skins
INCI: Hydrolyzed Tomato Skin, Citric Acid, Sodium Benzoate, Potassium Sorbate
Source: Tomato Skins
Technology: Bioliquefaction Technology, Aqouse Microdisperse Carotenoids Technology (A.M.C.)

It helps protect the body from oxidative stress, which contributes to accelerated skin ageing and the appearance of age spots. Lycopene is found in high concentrations in tomato skins, but because it is fat-soluble, it is relatively difficult to absorb. By hydrolysing tomato skins and applying the new patented A.M.C. (Aqouse Microdisperse Carotenoids) Technology, a highly active lycopene-containing ingredient is created that can be incorporated even into entirely water-based products.
✓ Natural water-soluble product containing lycopene
✓ Efficient delivery of UV-protective molecules to the skin
✓ Anti-pollution effect (+40%, in vitro tests)
