PhytoflORAL™
Super fruit power for brighter and healthy glowing skin
A natural beauty dietary ingredient from tomato, rich in rare, UV-absorbing, colorless carotenoids (phytoene and phytofluene), it provides skin with patented, optimized protection against damage induced by internal free radicals, making the skin appear more radiant, lighter and youthful.
Skin health reflects inner health
Nutrition plays a major role in maintaining skin health. Supplementation with key nutrients, including carotenoids, can complement a whole-body approach to beauty. Carotenoids are potent, free-radical scavengers. Their structure, physicochemical properties, and activities have evolved to play key roles in photosynthesis. They absorb sunlight energy and mitigate related photodamage—high interest in cosmetic applications.
Phytoene and phytofluene – the “undercover” colorless carotenoids
Phytoene and phytofluene are the precursors of all colored carotenoids and therefore bring the same benefits including anti-oxidative, DNA protection, and anti-inflammatory effects. However, they absorb light in the UV range and appear colorless. Their potential in nutricosmetics was understudied.
When compared to colored carotenoids, their unique structure gives them superior properties beyond light absorbance, including reduced susceptibility to oxidation and increased bioavailability.
Mode of action
Feeding the skin with our unique colorless carotenoids, acting as UV absorbents, free radical quenchers, and anti-inflammatory agents, is an effective photoprotective strategy for healthier-looking skin.
- Improves cellular anti-oxidative and anti-inflammatory capacity
- Quenches free radicals
- Reduces melanin production via upregulation of melanogenesis inhibitor AZGP-1
- Inhibits PGE2 production
- Inhibits MMP-1 expression
Clinically tested
Tested on Asian volunteers (skin phototype IV), daily consumption of 1g PhytoflORAL® improved skin brightening and luminosity for healthy glowing skin complexion.
Proven results
Tested on Caucasian volunteers (skin phototype II), daily consumption of 1gr PhytoflORAL® improved skin photoprotection and skin quality parameters for healthy and youthful looking skin.
PhytoflORAL™– proprietary tomatoes from the Mediterranean
PhytoflORAL™ tomatoes were developed through selective breeding to create a tomato variety with a very unique phytochemical composition. Their color varies from deep yellow to orange to deep orange with a unique composition of carotenoids, including the colorless carotenoids phytoene and phytofluene (about 30% of the total carotenoids).
PhytoflORAL™ tomato powder Full traceability from field to beauty
100% freeze-dried tomato powder, chemically unprocessed, and preservative-free.
Delivers 500 times more bioaccessible amounts of the rare colorless carotenoids, phytoene and phytofluene, compared to fresh market red tomato. A result of years-long field research and & development that optimized tomato varieties.
Produced under dietary supplement GMP guidelines in an FDA-approved facility. It is Halal certified, and vegan compatible.
