White Tomato Extract is derived from immature or specially cultivated tomatoes and is rich in colorless carotenoids such as phytoene and phytofluene. It is used in skincare for its antioxidant properties and potential to support a more even skin tone by limiting oxidative stress and UV-induced pigmentation.
