Tomato seed oil - coldpressed, unrefined

INCI:  Solanum Lycopersicum Seed Oil

Studies have documented that the seeds of tomatoes contain essential fatty acids, antioxidants, vitamins, minerals, carotenes including lycopene and phytosterols and other important nutrients that play an important role in the health and radiance of the skin. Lycopene-rich lipids are essential ingredients for the treatment and prevention of cutaneous signs of aging, and for reducing UV damage to the skin. Although it is the seeds and the skin of the tomato that are the most nutritious, both are typically removed from most tomato based products.

Tomato Seed Oil is stable and is an ideal ingredient choice for incorporating the nutritive benefits of tomato seeds, particularly the high lycopene content, within personal care products. Our superior quality Tomato Seed Oil is carefully sourced and packaged to maintain the purity, freshness and beneficial properties of this remarkably nutritive, cold pressed oil.
