Organic Lycopene: Extraction by Supercritical CO₂

An innovative process is used for the extraction of Lycopene from organic tomatoes, utilizing carbon dioxide (CO₂) under supercritical conditions instead of traditional chemical solvents, which are toxic and harmful to humans and the environment. (International Patent WO2008-015490A1)

Organic vs Synthetic and Natural Lycopene

Our lycopene is derived from certified organic tomatoes, grown with methods that exclude GMOs and synthetic chemicals, and follows strict organic strategies against plant diseases as per EEC Regulation 2092/91. Studies have confirmed that our organic lycopene provides antioxidant activity up to 100 times greater than that of natural lycopene from traditional sources.

Increased Antioxidant Activity: Confirmed by recent studies, thanks to the synergy between all the substances contained in the total extract (ß-carotene, lutein, tocotrienols, tocopherols, zeaxanthin, astaxanthin, Omega-3, Omega-6 and others), organic lycopene exhibits antioxidant activity as much as 100 times higher than a pure lycopene solution of the same concentration produced by the traditional method (natural lycopene).

Innovative Green Solution

The extraction process is performed “cold” and relies solely on physical principles, using carbon dioxide in a supercritical state. This avoids the need for chemical reactions, thereby eliminating toxic residues and creating an environmentally friendly product. Certified Organic (ICEA Certificate No.: IT BIO 006 PL0557)

Skin Bioavailability

An innovative system called Lycocerasomes system delivers lycopene deep into the skin, amplifying its antioxidant benefits for a youthful, revitalized appearance. This targeted technology helps lycopene act as a prolonged barrier, enriching the skin.
This topical penetration technology is capable of protecting the active ingredient while prolonging its anti radical effectiveness.
Its ability to release Lycopene in depth, the skin appears more vital, brighter, relaxed and has a youthful appearance.

Collagen and Elastin Protection

By neutralizing free radicals, lycopene provides a natural anti-aging effect that promotes the production of collagen and elastin, essential proteins for firm and balanced skin. Lycopene reduces visible signs of aging, restoring skin vitality.

Photoprotection

Lycopene reduces skin sensitivity to UVA and UVB rays, offering photoprotection and helping to prevent photoaging.
With its photoprotective action, Lycopene neutralizes free radicals by increasing the skin’s antioxidant defenses and therefore reduce photoaging damage. For optimal protection, lycopene should be used alongside sunscreen to shield the skin effectively.
