Israel's LycoRed provides a natural sunscreen from within [VIDEO]
Israeli company LycoRed has developed a tomato-based extract called Lyc-O-Mato, which is designed to protect the skin against harmful UV radiation. The extract, marketed in Europe by Inneov and Oenobiol, is expected to be available in the US within a year. LycoReds extract, made from a special breed of tomatoes, contains carotenoids that shield the skin from sunburn and premature aging. Scientific evidence suggests that tomatoes, in addition to sun protection, may improve the immune system and protect against degenerative diseases. While Lyc-O-Mato is not a sunscreen replacement, it can be part of a daily regimen for maintaining skin beauty and elasticity.
