Lycored's Lumenato™ Achieves EFSA Approval for Global Market Reach
In a significant development for the health and beauty sector, Lumenato™, a unique yellow tomato extract developed by Lycored, has received positive scientific feedback from the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA). This approval marks a pivotal step towards increased global availability of Lumenato™ as an ingested skincare ingredient, able to support a range of health and beauty solutions.
Lumenato™ stands out as it is derived from a special breed of yellow tomato, rich in phytoene and phytofluene—two rare carotenoids that are typically not easy to find in nature. These compounds possess remarkable properties that offer protection against UVB radiation, recognized as one of the most damaging types of sunlight exposure. With the ability to promote skin health from the inside out, Lumenato™ helps in constructing a reservoir of beneficial nutrients within the body that advocates for skin health and recovery, thus enhancing skin vitality.
Backed by extensive research, including four pre-clinical trials and three clinical studies, Lumenato™ demonstrates its efficacy in supporting skin structure. It enhances collagen production, protects collagen integrity, and modifies ceramide levels to strengthen the skin's barrier function. Users can experience improved elasticity, firmness, and an overall healthier skin appearance.
The extract is available in multiple formats including powder (starch beadlets), extract (oleoresin), and liquid emulsion, which allows for diverse applications ranging from nutricosmetics to topical skincare solutions. Each format is standardized to ensure consistent results and is verified as non-GMO and clean label friendly, catering to the growing consumer demand for transparency and quality in beauty products.
The scientific endorsement by EFSA also opens new avenues for brands worldwide to integrate Lumenato™ into their formulations. As companies await the upcoming EU Novel Food list update that includes this yellow tomato extract, they can now begin planning innovative product lines that capitalize on Lumenato's™ skin-enhancing benefits.
Christiane Lippert, the Global Product Manager for Lycored's Beauty From Within portfolio, expressed enthusiasm about this breakthrough, stating, "Lumenato™ is now positioned for widespread acceptance across various markets, including the EU, Switzerland, the US, Canada, Australia, and beyond. This exceptional ingredient provides an innovative way to promote beauty from within, perfectly aligning with contemporary preferences for plant-based and natural solutions."
With consumers increasingly turning towards sustainable beauty options, Lumenato™ offers an effective way to foster radiant, healthy skin through dietary sources. More detailed information and research supportive of Lumenato™ can be explored at Lycored's dedicated website for this product.
