A yellow tomato extract for skin health

05/06/2025 - Sophie Colvine
The European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) Panel on Nutrition, Novel Foods and Food Allergens has delivered a positive scientific opinion on Lumenato™, a standardized yellow tomato extract developed by Lycored, the global leader in natural carotenoids for food, beverage and dietary supplement products. 

The scientific opinion, published in the EFSA Journal, affirms the safety of Lumenato as a novel food and opens new global possibilities for brands to incorporate this ingestible skincare ingredient into a variety of skin health solutions.

Lumenato is produced from the tomato pulp of a proprietary breed of yellow tomato using supercritical CO2 extraction. The extract's active components—phytoene and phytofluene—are rare, colorless carotenoids scarcely found in nature which have the capacity to protect the skin from UVB radiation, the most harmful type of UV exposure. 
 
According to Lycored’s press release « Lumenato works from the inside out to build a reservoir of goodness within the body that supports the building blocks of skin health, repair and recuperation. Backed by four pre-clinical trials and three clinical trials, Lumenato has been shown to support skin structure, both boosting and protecting collagen and influencing ceramides for improved skin barrier function, elasticity, firmness, and more. » 

Lumenato is available at varied concentrations in powder (starch beadlets), extract (oleoresin) and liquid emulsion delivery formats, for use in a range of applications including nutricosmetics and derm-level care. All formats contain standardized levels of skin repairing nutrients, providing consistent results with clean-label friendly and non-GMO project verified skin support. 

EFSA's scientific opinion allows brands to start planning future product formulations using Lumenato, while awaiting the EU Novel Food list update to include yellow tomato extract.
