These days people are going green and now they also demand the same from their skin care products. Many people are choosing organic face creams – without any chemicals or unpronounceable ingredients. We now know that beautiful skin starts with healthy skin.

Which is better for your skin’s hydration – Lyco-persicum or Lycopene? Lyco-persicum means “Wolf Peach” which is another name for tomatoes. Why would a product contain Lyco-persicum as a name for tomato rather than Lycopene, which is the actual healthful botanical that is derived from tomatoes? The answer is (probably) that just putting tomato in a skin cream is a lot less expensive than extracting the organic botanical – Lycopene – to use in its pure form. Remember the big cosmetic companies are all about profits to keep the stockholder’s happy – if your skin is helped in the process that is OK too. Basically, with Lyco-persicum you are putting tomato sauce on your face, along with a bunch of other chemicals.
