Lumenato™ Gains EFSA Approval, Expanding Market Availability



Lumenato™, a standardized extract derived from yellow tomatoes, has received a positive scientific opinion from the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA). This landmark decision marks a significant milestone for Lycored, a global leader in the realm of natural carotenoids, as Lumenato is now recognized as safe for use as a new food ingredient on a wider scale.

This scientific affirmation, published in the EFSA Journal, not only establishes Lumenato's safety but also paves the way for various brands to incorporate this innovative ingredient into their skin health solutions. The active components of Lumenato, phytoene and phytofluene, are unique, colorless carotenoids that are rarely found in nature. They provide exceptional protection against UVB radiation, known for being one of the most harmful types of UV exposure.

Derived from a patented variety of yellow tomato, Lumenato works from within, helping to build a reserve of nutrients in the body that contribute to skin health, repair, and recovery. Backed by four preclinical trials and three clinical studies, Lumenato has shown promising results in promoting skin structure. It stimulates and safeguards collagen while influencing ceramides to enhance barrier function, elasticity, firmness, and more.

Lumenato is available in various forms, including starch pearls, oleoresin extracts, and liquid emulsions. This versatility allows for a broad spectrum of formulations tailored to different applications, such as nutricosmetics and dermal care products. All formulations maintain standardized levels of skin-repairing nutrients, ensuring consistent results that align with clean label practices and non-GMO verification. The EFSA's scientific opinion enables new global brands to begin planning product formulations that include Lumenato, with the prospect of updating the EU's novel food list to accommodate this yellow tomato extract.

Christiane Lippert, global product manager for Lycored's beauty-from-within portfolio, expressed enthusiasm over this development, stating, "With this decision, Lumenato is set to achieve widespread acceptance in the EU, Switzerland, the United States, Canada, Australia, Korea, India, and other nations for use in various supplements. Exclusive to Lycored, Lumenato is an exceptional innovation that helps achieve radiance and brightness from within, meeting the growing demand for plant-derived, clean-label beauty solutions."
