Solanum Lycopersicum (Tomato) Fruit Extract is a plant-derived ingredient rich in carotenoids (notably lycopene), vitamins, and polyphenols, used in skincare for its antioxidant and skin-conditioning properties. It is thought to help neutralize free radicals and support skin tone, though clinical evidence in topical formulations is limited.

| Mild skin irritation or redness | Uncommon | May occur in sensitive skin or with high extract concentrations. |
| Allergic contact dermatitis | Rare | Reported in individuals with tomato or nightshade (Solanaceae) sensitivity. |
| Contact urticaria | Very rare | Hives on contact, more likely in those with known tomato allergy. |
