About

Dried tomato skin and seed pomace — a food-grade upcycled antioxidant rich in lycopene. Minor allergy/pesticide caveats.

Solanum lycopersicum pomace powder is the dried solid residue remaining after juicing tomatoes, comprising skins, seeds, and pulp. It is rich in lycopene (a potent carotenoid antioxidant), other carotenoids, and polyphenols. In cosmetics it functions as an antioxidant and mild exfoliant, with photoprotection-support positioning. The ingredient leverages food-grade safety precedent and is often marketed as a sustainable upcycled input. Tomato is a known (though uncommon) food allergen, and rare contact reactions are reported. Residual agricultural chemicals depend on sourcing. No GHS hazards at cosmetic use levels.
