Lycored has been in the natural food coloring business for some time and realized the amazing anti-oxidant properties found in tomatoes could be used in the cosmetics business.
The company has recently developed an alternative sunscreen that you ingest. This is good news for bleaching corals, transexualizing fish, and for our health — it is known that sunscreens contain chemicals that are not so healthy for us and the environment.
Lycored’s new invention will allow us to use much less.
Based on a tomato extract, Lycored’s neutraceutical (ingested as a capsule) Lycomato can be used to help your skin fight off the sun’s harmful UV rays.
Although Lycomato’s based on a tomato, don’t worry, you won’t turn red the company says. The product is currently available in Europe, and Lycored supplements can already be found in Israel in the You drink by Tara.
