As global skincare transitions from basic hydration to advanced cellular defense, biological compounds like Lycopene have emerged as pivotal active ingredients. This document outlines the clinical utility, supply chain parameters, and chemical advantages of sourcing wholesale cosmetic-grade Lycopene for large-scale formulations.
Lycopene possesses an open-chain unsaturated carotenoid structure with 11 conjugated double bonds. This unique configuration grants it a singlet oxygen quenching rate constant dramatically higher than that of α-tocopherol and β-carotene, making it a supreme shield against UV-induced ROS (Reactive Oxygen Species).
By preventing lipid peroxidation within human keratinocytes, cosmetic-grade Lycopene mitigates the upregulation of matrix metalloproteinases (MMP-1), thereby conserving the collagen matrix and protecting dermal structures from premature sagging and deep wrinkling.
Our extraction methodologies rely strictly on non-GMO tomato cultivars, utilizing supercritical CO₂ fluid extraction technology. This process delivers a 100% natural, solvent-free raw material that fits the stringent compliance criteria of international natural and vegan beauty standards.
Integrating Lycopene into cosmetic bases (emulsions, serums, and anhydrous balms) requires a deep understanding of carotenoid stability. Naturally hydrophobic, raw Lycopene crystallizes and degrades rapidly when exposed to light and oxygen.
To solve this, our technical teams provide stabilized liposomal dispersions and microencapsulated water-dispersible powders. These advanced presentation forms prevent sedimentation, eliminate undesired natural odor profiles, and guarantee color stability throughout the product's shelf-life.
Whether formulating high-end anti-aging emulsions, skin-tone evening creams, or environmental defense primers, our wholesale solutions are tailored to optimize biological availability within the epidermis.
Hebei Abiding Co., Ltd. established in 2005 is a professional supplier of foods and food ingredients in China. We have one perfect mechanism including raw materials supplying, production, sales, after-sales service to ensure to supply the qualified products to the customers.
As a certified EU & NOP organic products supplier with more than 20 years experiences in the organic food fields, we have been ranked the largest exporter of the organic tomato paste in China for many years. We have our own organic farms and processing facilities in different provinces in China to ensure that our products strictly comply with organic standards.
By leveraging our organic farming foundation and processing capability, we isolate premium-grade cosmetic Lycopene under cleanroom conditions, offering cosmetic manufacturers a fully traceable, certifiable, and highly potent bioactive agent.
It is well known that more and more people care to take the healthy, safe and nutritious foods. The foods with the high protein, high fiber, low calorie, Vegan, GMO free, gluten free and even Keto friendly are more popular. So above requirements bring us to one new world.
With our good experience in the organic fields, we also successfully explore the products with such special characters to meet the customer requests. We have the confidence that this field would be one wide potential market full of chance. Our bioactive cosmetic raw materials, led by tomato-derived Lycopene, align perfectly with this paradigm shift toward clean label wellness and cellular vitality.
We have established long-term and stable business cooperation with many customers around the world and have won the good reputation there. It is our honor to be one qualified supplier certified by Nestle and other world famous companies. We would like to continue to provide our best service to the customers to share the pleasure in the cooperation.
For cosmetic manufacturers, working with an enterprise evaluated under strict multinational food safety and pharmaceutical supply audits means absolute supply security. We guarantee batches free from heavy metals, residual chemical solvents, and microbiotics, supported by standardized COAs, SDS, and technical datasheets for every shipment.
Our Purpose: To provide customers with healthy and safe products, to provide customers with the most intimate service. Survival by quality, development by characteristics, so as to form a fast and efficient management team and quality traceability system. To achieve the purpose of "character, food, conscience, love".
Our Objectives: To synchronize with environmental protection, with health, gather wisdom, seek common development, and build an excellent enterprise.
By aligning cosmetic manufacturing demands with sustainable agronomy, our clean extraction of Lycopene optimizes tomato processing byproducts, representing a circular economy model that lowers greenhouse gas outputs and guarantees zero chemical waste discharge.
We invest heavily in the optimization of molecular preservation and synergistic cosmetic systems. Our developmental path focus on three primary pillars to ensure superior formulation integration:
Utilizing high-purity maltodextrin and vegetable gums, we construct micro-capsules enclosing the hydrophobic Lycopene molecules. This provides robust thermal stability up to 75°C, ensuring stability during the high-shear emulsification phases of cosmetic manufacturing.
Our research lab has mapped the synergistic antioxidant capacity of Lycopene combined with Vitamin E (Tocopherol) and Vitamin C (Ascorbyl Palmitate). Combining these compounds yields a regenerated network that recycles carotenoid radicals back into their active state, compounding anti-aging efficacy.
By extracting active Lycopene from organic tomato processing skins and seeds, we lower overall material footprint. This enables cosmetic brands to claim "Circular Sourcing" and "Upcycled Botanicals" on packaging, appealing directly to modern ethical consumers.
Addressing key formulation challenges, regulatory parameters, and procurement specifications for technical buyers and R&D cosmetic chemists.
Our cosmetic-grade Lycopene offers a shelf life of 24 months from the date of manufacture when stored in unopened, airtight, light-proof containers at temperatures below 15°C (ideally under nitrogen blanketing for pure oil extractions). For our microencapsulated powder variants, standard dry, cool storage conditions are sufficient to prevent oxidation.
Lipophilic Lycopene extract should be added directly to the oil phase prior to emulsification, preferably at temperatures below 60°C to minimize thermal degradation. Our water-dispersible powder and liposomal formats are designed to be added post-emulsification during the cooling phase (below 40°C) directly into the water phase, ensuring homogeneous dispersion.
Yes. As a leading exporter of organic tomato derivatives holding both EU and NOP organic certifications, our source tomatoes are grown in strictly audited organic farms. We ensure the extraction is physical (supercritical carbon dioxide extraction) and does not introduce synthetic petrochemical solvents (such as hexane), preserving the certified organic status of the final cosmetic ingredient.
We supply Lycopene in several standardized concentrations: Liquid/Oil suspensions at 5% and 10% active concentration, and cold-water-soluble (CWS) microencapsulated powders at 1%, 5%, and 10% concentrations. Customized concentrations can be developed under contract based on batch volume requirements.
Lycopene works as an exceptional secondary photoprotectant. While it does not replace primary chemical or physical UV filters, formulating SPF products with Lycopene reduces the inflammatory pathway (erythema response) caused by ultraviolet radiation, enhancing overall cellular defense and protecting the skin barrier.
