What is white tomato extract and why it's trending in skincare?

Each season, new ingredients surface in the ever-evolving skincare industry, and one that is currently gaining significant attention is white tomato extract. Despite its unusual name, this ingredient offers numerous benefits for the skin and is becoming a popular choice in many skincare tomatoes are a unique variety grown primarily in Asia and Europe. Unlike regular red tomatoes, they lack the red pigment known as lycopene. However, they contain other nutrients that are believed to be highly beneficial for the skin, including phytoene and phytofluene, both of which are natural and nutrients in white tomatoes are gently extracted through a cold-pressing method to preserve their natural goodness. These colourless carotenoids penetrate deeply into the skin, helping to protect it from everyday damage caused by pollution, sunlight, and stress, which are common contributors to early signs of ageing. What makes white tomato extract truly special is its natural ability to brighten the skin and provide a healthy, glowing appearance, making it an excellent addition to modern skincare routines. Here's everything you need to know from Shaily Mehrotra, CEO and Co-Founder of Fixderma. WHY IS WHITE TOMATO EXTRACT A SKINCARE HERO?As more people look for skincare that's gentle, natural, and effective, White Tomato Extract has become a standout ingredient. Here's why it's gaining so much popularity:1. Brightens and evens out skin toneWhite Tomato Extract helps slow down the process that causes the skin to make too much melanin, the pigment that can cause dark spots and uneven skin tone. This makes your skin look clearer and more even. It works gently, so it's safe even for people with sensitive skin.2. Powerful antioxidant protectionThere are several factors that contribute to skin damage, including pollution, sunlight, screens, and stress. These can cause harmful molecules called free radicals, which can speed up ageing. White Tomato Extract combats these free radicals and protects the skin from damage. As a result, the skin looks fresher, smoother, and shows fewer fine lines.3. Natural sun protection boosterWhile not a replacement for sunscreen, White Tomato Extract offers internal and topical photo-protection. Its colourless carotenoids help absorb UVA and UVB rays and reduce UV-induced skin damage, making it a perfect addition to daytime skincare routines.4. Safe, clean, and versatileWith no harsh acids or synthetic bleaching agents, this extract is non-irritating, non-comedogenic, and suitable for all skin types. Whether in serums, moisturisers, or oral supplements, it offers a holistic approach to skincare.5.

The best SPF for your undereyes, face, scalp, hands and body for full protection

Metro journalists select and curate the products that feature on our site. If you make a purchase via links on this page we will earn commission – learn more Sun protection, otherwise known as SPF, is an essential part of your skincare regime – and bodycare routine for that matter. There is the assumption that SPF should only be worn in the summer and when in direct sunlight, but that's not the case. In fact, we should wear sun protection all year round. Speaking about its importance, Skin Expert and Co-Founder of Ella & Jo, Niamh Ryan, told us at Metro HQ: 'SPF is so important as it helps protect the collagen and elastin you already have. UVA rays can break down the bonds of the building blocks in your skin, which give it its tone and bounce. Using UVA protection essentially helps maintain what you already have and helps stop the accelerated ageing process that UVA causes.' While the Skin and Wellness expert at Spa Ceylon, Shenuka Fernando, added: 'SPF helps prevent hyperpigmentation and uneven skin tone caused by UV-induced melanin production. It protects the skin's natural barrier function, preventing moisture loss, dehydration, and potential damage to skin cells.' In recent times we have seen a rise in sun protection with UVA and UVB protection for specific areas of the body, such as under the eyes, the scalp, hair, and hands, as well as SPF for the face and body. But, do we need a dedicated SPF for all areas? The answer is quite simply, yes. While you can apply your face SPF close to the under eye, some products we have tried can irritate those with sensitive eyes, or cause your eyes to water and remove the protective barrier. Laura Porter, Facialist, Skincare Expert and Founder of FAB Skincare & Salons, explains: 'Each area of the body has unique characteristics that make targeted sun protection important. The skin on the face is generally more delicate and exposed than other areas, and it may also be more prone to breakouts or sensitivity, which means it benefits from SPF formulas that are lightweight, non-comedogenic and designed specifically for facial use.' There are a few specifics to look out for when shopping the best SPF for every inch of your body. Aside from a broad spectrum protection that protects against harmful UVA and UVB rays, which is typically SPF30, preferably SPF50, Laura suggests using an SPF that is 'water resistant and has antioxidant protection can be beneficial for all areas, particularly during summer or periods of extended sun exposure.' She adds: 'Across all areas, the key is consistent reapplication, typically every two hours or more often if swimming or sweating.' Without further ado, we have dived deeper into why we need specific sun protection, and recommendations to help you stay safe in the sun all summer long – and beyond. We all know SPF for the face is paramount, and is better for those with sensitive skin than using the same as on the body. Laura Porter explains: 'For the face, the best SPF is one that offers broad spectrum protection and is lightweight enough for daily wear, ideally with a non comedogenic formula that won't clog pores, especially if you have oily or acne prone skin. Gel or fluid textures often work well for most skin types. The face should also be protected with SPF 50 ideally, particularly in the summer or when outdoors for long periods.' I have used this face SPF for years because it is lightweight, breathable and deeply protective. It doesn't irritate my skin, but blends into my skin effortlessly without any white offers a high-level and full spectrum protection, while also protecting against infrared rays. With SPF50+, PA++++ and Fernblock, it is a potent antioxidant to protect against free radical damage.

BUY NOW FOR £27 The under eye is delicate, and can be sensitive, which is why Laura stresses applying a delicate SPF designed specifically for this area is key. She explains: 'The under eye area has the thinnest skin on the face and is particularly sensitive, so it requires a gentle sunscreen that won't cause irritation or migrate into the eyes. Opt for gentle, fragrance-free products that have been formulated specifically for sensitive skin. The under-eye area benefits from the highest level of protection due to the skin's thinness and vulnerability to damage, so using an SPF 50 is strongly recommended.' Hello Sunday has been championing to cut the VAT on SPF for the last few years, hence why it is a trusted source we turn to for sun protection. It blends biomimetic peptides with hydrolysed proteins, collagen, oatmeal prebiotics with mineral and antioxidant filters to hydrate, nourish and protect the eye area. Suitable for all skin types.

Myralys is a key ingredient that works to support and plump the eye contours for a rejuvenated look. But it is also lightweight, provides UV protection as it delivers a factor 50 barrier on the sensitive area. Buy Now There can be confusion over which products are best to protect the scalp and hair from UV protection, and if a dedicated SPF is better than a mere protective spray. Laura weighed in: 'The scalp, especially in individuals with thinning or fine hair, is highly vulnerable to sunburn, but difficult to protect using standard cream based sunscreens. On the scalp, lightweight sprays or powders with SPF are easiest to apply and less likely to weigh down the hair or leave a greasy residue. The scalp requires at least SPF 30, and using sprays or powders can make application easier without affecting your hairstyle.' But the hair protection may vary, as Laura shared: 'It can benefit from UV protection to prevent damage and colour fading, especially in those with treated or sun sensitive hair. While the hair itself doesn't burn, it can suffer from sun-induced dryness and colour fading, so using UV-protective sprays or leave-in treatments can help protect strands from sun damage, particularly for coloured or chemically treated hair.' This multifunctional hair product not only protects the scalp and hair from UV rays, while also hydrating the hair. The Sundaze Sea Spray also functions as a texturising spray, which makes this ideal for beach and pool days on inclusion of Pro Vitamin B5, castor oil and sunflower seed extract also help to condition the tresses after being fried in the sun on holiday.

The spray is easy to use, transparent and quick drying, yet doesn't leave your hair greasy when applied along the hairline. Buy Now While it is described as a protective primer to apply before styling your locks, it has other benefits too. The spray helps to detangle any knots, tame any frizz and flyaways, protect against heat damage from styling tools, as well as UV rays.

BUY NOW FOR £30 It's understandable why some wouldn't think to apply an SPF directly to their hands, and merely rub the remnants from their face or body sun cream on their hands. More Trending However, as the area is often exposed to the sun, and is a telltale sign of anti-ageing, it is essential to protect them as best we can. Laura shared: 'The hands are exposed daily and often washed multiple times, so they need a more resilient SPF that provides hydration while withstanding frequent contact with water. For the hands, a rich cream based SPF is ideal, offering both high protection and hydration to counteract dryness caused by frequent washing. Also look for a sunscreen that contains hydrating ingredients like hyaluronic acid or glycerin, to combat dryness throughout the day. For the hands, SPF 30 to 50 is ideal, with reapplication throughout the day to maintain effectiveness.' The eco-conscious shopper will appreciate Supergoop's Handscreen as it claims to be reef-safe. The formula contains sea buckthorn extract, argan and meadowfoam seed oil, which are deeply hydrating for dry and cracked hands. This factor 40 sun cream delivers UVA and UVB protection without leaving your hands greasy. It is cruelty-free, as well as free from parabens, fragrance and oxybenzone. BUY NOW FOR £34 This affordable and lightweight SPF is perfect for those wanting a vegan SPF that will protect against UV damage right down to your fingertips.

The myth of oral sunscreens as sunblocks: what dermatologists want you to know

In India, extreme heat and recurring heatwaves from March to June pose serious challenges to skin health, leading to conditions like sunburn, rashes, and eczema. During these peak summer months, protecting the skin becomes essential through measures like staying hydrated, applying sunscreen, wearing protective clothing, and minimising sun exposure. In the quest for sun protection, many turn to oral sunscreens -- often marketed as sunblock solutions. However, leading dermatologists emphasise that these supplements, available as gummies, powders, or drinks, do not function like topical sunscreens. Unlike creams that physically or chemically block UV rays, oral sun protective supplements offer indirect support and are often misrepresented. Experts stress the importance of understanding how these products truly work and seeking professional advice before incorporating them into your skincare routine. What are oral sunscreens ? According to dermatologists, the term 'oral sunscreen' can be misleading. Unlike topical sunscreens that absorb or reflect harmful ultraviolet (UV) rays on the skin's surface, oral sunscreens do not provide any physical UV blockade. They function instead as antioxidants that reduce the oxidative stress and inflammation caused by UV radiation. 'Basically, these supplements know as oral sunscreens are adjuvant therapies,' says Katheeja Nasika, consultant, department of dermatology, Rela Hospital, Chennai. 'They are never a standalone and they can never be a substitute for the chemical sunscreens that we are using.' According to Dr. Nasika, these products fall into the category of nutraceuticals -- nutritional supplements with skin-protective benefits. They help in reducing UV-induced DNA damage and pigmentary changes, through their antioxidant properties. They also support skin health by scavenging reactive oxygen species (ROS), or free radicals, and may aid in reducing photoaging and pigmentation. What is inside sun protection pills? Oral sunscreen supplements often contain a variety of antioxidant-rich ingredients aimed at protecting the skin from UV damage. Common components include Polypodium leucotomos, a fern extract with antioxidant properties; carotenoids like lycopene, beta-carotene, and astaxanthin -- among which astaxanthin is considered more powerful than vitamin C; and vitamins C and E, which are well-known for their ability to reduce UV-induced damage. Vitamin B3 (nicotinamide) is also included for its role in aiding DNA repair, along with Pycnogenol, a pine bark extract high in bioflavonoids and phenolic acids. However, the effectiveness of these ingredients depends not just on their presence, but on being consumed in adequate, therapeutic doses. As Dr. Nasika points out, simply labelling a product an 'oral sunscreen' does not ensure photo-protective benefits unless it contains proven antioxidants in proper amounts -- such as 100–1000 mg of vitamin C, at least 100 IU of vitamin E, 13 mg of beta-carotene (roughly 150 grams of carrot), and 10–30 mg of lycopene, commonly found in tomatoes and watermelon. Many of these nutrients can also be obtained through a well-balanced diet rich in fruits, vegetables, nuts, seeds, and teas. Why topical sunscreen remains non-negotiable Vaaruni Ravishankar, consultant, dermatology, MGM Healthcare, reiterates that oral sunscreens are not a replacement for topical sunscreen. Dr. Ravishankar prescribes oral sunscreens in specific scenarios: for patients anticipating prolonged sun exposure -- such as during beach vacations, mountain treks, or wedding shoots -- and for those seeking cosmetic benefits like reduced redness and pigmentation. But she cautions against casual use without professional supervision, 'These pills should always be taken under the supervision or prescription of a board-certified dermatologist,' she emphasises. 'Never as an over-the-counter solution just because it's trending on social media.' She also notes that while most ingredients are safe in prescribed doses, allergic reactions are possible, making it vital to consult a physician before use. K. R. Sharmatha, senior consultant, Dermatology, SIMS Hospital, Chennai, advises against using the term edible sunscreen altogether. 'Use the word 'oral sunscreen,' not 'edible,'' she insists. 'Edible gives a misleading impression because sunscreens are meant for external application, whereas these are supplements taken orally for sun-related oxidative stress.' Another significant concern is how oral sunscreens are marketed for skin lightening or 'brightening,' exploiting deeply ingrained cultural norms and social constructs under the guise of sun protection. Many of these products are sold with little transparency around their actual composition, purpose, or required dosage. 'Just saying it's a sunscreen and showing brightening results creates a dangerous narrative,' Dr. Nasika says, 'Anyone claiming a supplement is an oral photo protective agent should be backing that with science.' Eat healthy 'Many of the antioxidants found in these supplements such as those present in berries, citrus fruits, leafy greens, nuts, carrots, and tomatoes -- can also be sourced naturally through a balanced diet. The growing hype around 'edible sunscreens' should be approached with skepticism', Dr. Nasika says. Dr. Sharmatha adds that she consistently emphasise to her patients that the most effective protection against sun damage is a broad-spectrum topical sunscreen, applied generously and reapplied regularly. 'If you're considering adding an oral supplement for sun protection, it's important to consult a dermatologist rather than relying on marketing claims', she says.

Drinkable sunscreen is the new rage; here's all you need to know about this ‘liquid supplement'

With an increased awareness of skin health and the need to protect it from harmful UV rays, drinkable sunscreen has become a new trend in the wellness industry. But what exactly is it, and can this liquid supplement provide internal defense against damaging UV rays, potentially replacing conventional topical sunscreens? We asked experts. What is drinkable sunscreen? The most common type of drinkable sunscreen is a liquid supplement that includes antioxidants, plant extracts such as Polypodium leucotomos, and occasionally vitamins like astaxanthin or beta-carotene, said Dr Karuna Malhotra, an aesthetic physician and cosmetologist from Cosmetic Skin and Homeo Clinic in Rajouri Garden, New Delhi. 'These ingredients are believed to support the skin's ability to fight UV-induced oxidative stress from the inside out,' added Dr Malhotra. How are they different from regular sunscreens? Unlike topical sunscreens, which physically block or absorb UV rays, drinkable sunscreens work on a systemic level. 'They don't create a physical barrier on the skin. Instead, they aim to enhance your skin's resilience by reducing the cellular damage caused by sun exposure, albeit from the inside,' said Dr Malhotra. Are they effective? These supplements are typically taken orally once daily, ideally before exposure to the sun. However, Dr Malhotra said that the absorption and effectiveness can vary from person to person. 'And it won't work instantly,' said Dr Malhotra. Concurred Dr Shareefa Chause, dermatologist, Dr Shareefa Skin Care Clinic, Mumbai, and said that drinkable sunscreens work from within and take time to build protection. 'They are not a substitute for topical sunscreen,' she emphasised. Dr Malhotra noted that while there is some scientific backing for ingredients like Polypodium leucotomos in reducing sunburn risk, she cautioned against seeing drinkable sunscreen as a standalone solution. 'Since the research is limited, the evidence is still evolving, and it should never replace your SPF lotion or sunblock. It can supplement your skincare routine, but relying solely on it could leave your skin unprotected,' said Dr Malhotra. Topical application is necessary (Photo: Pixabay) Who is it for? Dr Malhotra said not everyone is a good fit for drinkable sunscreen. 'It is typically safe for adults, but without a doctor's approval, it might not be appropriate for children, expectant mothers, or those with specific medical concerns, she advised. What to note before trying it out? *It is not FDA-approved as a sunscreen. *No drinkable product can replace broad-spectrum SPF 30+ sunscreen. *Photosensitive individuals or those with skin disorders should consult a doctor first. Sun protection is multifaceted: wear sunscreen, seek shade, wear protective clothing, and consider adding antioxidants. 'Drinkable sunscreen might support skin health, but it's not a shortcut. Think of it as an internal antioxidant boost, not a shield. Traditional sunscreen is still your first line of defense. Relying solely on these supplements can give a false sense of security, especially during peak UV hours. For optimal protection, always combine internal care with external sun safety practices,' said Dr Malhotra. Dr. Chause mentioned that it's safer to continue using proven methods, such as broad-spectrum SPF creams, hats, and shade, while treating drinkable sunscreens only as a possible supplement, not a replacement. 'Don't just blindly use a sunscreen because it has been promoted on social media. Speak to the expert before trying out any product,' said Dr Chause.

Clinical Study Shows Monteloeder's Rosemary and Grapefruit Composition Helps Maintain Youthful-Looking Skin Under UV Exposure

The follow-up phase involved a randomized, placebo-controlled, crossover clinical trial that was conducted on 20 volunteers to assess the efficacy of the supplement in supporting the skin's response to UV-induced redness and in promoting the skin's natural recovery process following sun exposure. The study published in April 2025 in the International Journal of Molecular Sciences, authored by Pau Navarro and colleagues first analyzed in vitro the photoprotective potential of Nutroxsun® on UVR-exposed human dermal fibroblasts. These results highlighted the composition's capacity to help reduce markers of oxidative stress, inflammation, and processes associated with the degradation of the skin's structural integrity. Results were expressed through the reduction of inflammatory markers, ROS, and the modulation of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs)—enzymes involved in the breakdown of structural matrix components such as collagen and elastin fibers. Photoaging is associated with a reduction in collagen and elastin production resulting from repeated exposure to UVR. Collagen provides the skin's support matrix and is a key determinant for the preservation of skin firmness and elasticity. UV exposure is known to accelerate the generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS), which contribute to oxidative stress that may impact DNA. This may lead to redness in the short term and can contribute to collagen degradation over time with exposure to both UVA and UVB radiation. This process may ultimately result in wrinkles and loss of skin structure. Nutroxsun® is a proprietary combination of extracts of rosemary ( Rosmarinus officinalis ) and grapefruit ( Citrus paradise ) created by the nutraceutical company Monteloeder to affect an inside-out approach to supporting skin health and maintaining youthful looking skin challenged by everyday environmental stressors such as prolonged sun exposure. MADRID, May 7, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Monteloeder, SL, a subsidiary of SUANNUTRA SA, announces exciting results from a new clinical study regarding its natural, beauty-from-within formulation Nutroxsun®. The results of the two-phase trial bolster scientific support for Nutroxsun ®'s role in helping maintain skin integrity and a youthful appearance when exposed to environmental stressors such as ultraviolet (UV) radiation. Nutroxsun® will be presented at Vitafoods Europe, Barcelona, on May 20-22, 2025, Booth #3K22. Story Continues "Skin redness are the most noticeable and immediate inflammatory reaction to solar radiation," explains Nuria Caturla, Chief R&D Officer at Monteloeder. "It usually appears 3–5 hours after exposure and peaks at 12–24 hours, fading gradually over 72 hours." The study participants took either 100mg or 250mg of the botanical formula, or a placebo. All participants experienced increased skin redness 24 hours after UVB exposure, confirming an erythemal response. However, those who took Nutroxsun® showed a milder increase in redness. Redness increased by 62.7% in the placebo group, compared to 44.7% in the Nutroxsun® 100mg group, and just 41.0% in the 250mg group. Both the 100mg and 250mg doses led to significantly less redness 24 hours after UV exposure. By 72 hours, redness in both Nutroxsun® groups had nearly returned to baseline, while the placebo group still showed elevated levels, indicating slower recovery. Among fair-skinned participants the 250mg dose was more effective in supporting skin recovery than 100mg,with lower redness observed at all time points. Although the 100mg dose also demonstrated a measurable benefit. "Nutroxsun® was developed as a dietary solution to support the skin's natural defense mechanisms in response to UV-induced oxidative stress," affirms Mariana Ortega, Science Marketing Manager of SUANNUTRA. "It acts from within to help maintain skin health when exposed to environmental aggressors. Rosemary and grapefruit extracts contain phenolic compounds that work synergistically to help neutralize free radicals generated by UV exposure. These effects are relevant to both short-term/ immediate responses, such as redness, and long-term factors associated with visible signs of photoaging, including collagen and elastin changes." "The results from the present study reinforce and expand on previous evidence supporting Nutroxsun®'s role in helping improve skin health and appearance when exposed to UV-related stressors," adds Caturla. "Rosemary extracts have been shown to help slow down collagen degradation further highlighting their potential to support dermal structure and resilience. Grapefruit flavones have been studied for their role in counteracting UVB-induced oxidative effects that may impact collagen integrity helping protect the skin by stopping UVB rays from breaking down collagen." This study serves as a follow-up to the encouraging results observed in previous preclinical and clinical trials. A clinical trial, involving 90 participants over a period of two months, resulted in a reduction in markers of skin lipid peroxidation associated with UVB and UVA exposure, and perceived improvements in skin texture, wrinkles and elasticity. In this trial, the participants said they found their skin to "feel more moisturized." More than three-quarters (77%) noticed an improved skin appearance and more even skin tone. Nearly that many participants (73%) said their skin "felt firmer," and almost two-thirds (60%) observed a visible reduction in appearance of wrinkles.
