Green Tomato Extract: The Unripe Hero of Skincare

Forget the vine-ripened goodness. The latest buzz in skincare is all about the humble green tomato! Yes, you read that right. Unripe tomatoes boast impressive benefits for your skin, making them a rising star in beauty products.

 

So, what makes green tomatoes so special?  Here's the science:

 

A powerhouse of Antioxidants

Green tomatoes are brimming with a unique solanum lycopersicum extract, rich in glycoalkaloids like tomatine. These superheroes fight free radicals, the environmental aggressors that damage our skin and contribute to wrinkles and ageing.

 

Collagen Booster

Research suggests green tomato extract can stimulate collagen production. Collagen is the protein that keeps our skin plump and youthful, translating to firmer, more elastic skin.

 

Pore Refining Magic

Enlarged pores are a common concern. The good news? Green tomato extract might be your new best friend. Studies show it can minimise pore appearance, leaving you with a smoother, more refined complexion.

 

Vitamin Power

Green tomatoes are a treasure trove of vitamins, including vitamins A, C, and K. These vitamins nourish and protect your skin, promoting overall health and radiance.

 

How do we reap the benefits?

Green tomato extract is used in a variety of Sungboon Editor's skincare products, from toners and serums to cleansers and masks. For maximum impact, look for products with a high extract concentration. Here are some of our favourites:
