Core Benefits & Functional Mechanism of Lycopene
Lycopene is an acyclic carotenoid with outstanding singlet oxygen scavenging capacity. It neutralizes excess free radicals generated by oxidation, UV radiation and metabolism. For oral supplements: it supports cellular antioxidant defense, benefits prostate and cardiovascular wellness and slows age-related decline. For skincare: it alleviates UV-induced oxidative stress, improves dullness and uneven tone, delivers post-sun repair and anti-photoaging effects.
Unencapsulated lycopene is sensitive to light, oxygen and temperature; microcapsule technology forms protective shell to greatly improve stability. Oil-soluble crystal suits softgel; microcapsule enables application in water-phase formulas, tablets and instant powder drinks. Common synergistic combinations: Lycopene + Lutein + Vitamin E + Resveratrol.
- Powerful natural antioxidant: effectively eliminate free radicals and reduce oxidative damage
- Oral health maintenance: support prostate care, cardiovascular protection, comprehensive anti-aging
- Skin anti-photoaging: relieve UV injury, fade dullness, assist post-sun skin repair
- Dual delivery formats: oil-soluble crystal and cold-water dispersible microcapsule
- Microcapsule technology enhances stability, prevents degradation during production & storage
- Wide formula compatibility for supplements and natural antioxidant skincare lines
Formulation Tip: Finished dosage for oral products follows regional specification; skincare recommended addition 0.02%–0.1%. Add antioxidants (Vitamin E) and use amber opaque packaging. Avoid long-term high-temperature processing. Microcapsule grade preferred for aqueous systems.

What is Lycopene？
Lycopene is a naturally occurring pigment component of food and belongs to the carotenoids in terms of chemical structure. Pure lycopene in nature is a deep red needle-like substance, which is called lycopene because it was first isolated from processed tomatoes. It is a fat-soluble unsaturated hydrocarbon, known as the ‘gold’ in tomatoes. Lycopene is currently found in nature the strongest antioxidant capacity of natural food ingredients, its ability to scavenge oxygen free radicals is 100 times that of vitamin E, α-carotene, β-carotene, twice as much. Mature red plant fruits have higher content, especially in tomatoes, carrots, watermelon, papaya and guava, etc. are more abundant. It can be used as pigment in food processing and is also commonly used as raw material for antioxidant health food.
What does lycopene do?
1. Lycopene has the effect of preventing cancer. Studies have shown that eating lycopene-rich foods in daily life can play a good role in the prevention and treatment of cancer. In addition, it can also reduce the probability of prostatitis.
2. Lycopene can protect cardiovascular. Lycopene can reduce the content of lipoproteins in the body, and then reduce the viscosity of the blood, to achieve the protection of cardiovascular, cardiovascular disease prevention effect.
3. Lycopene can effectively resist ultraviolet radiation. We all know that UV damage to the human body is relatively large, will make the skin appear tanning, sunburn and other conditions. In life, timely supplementation of some lycopene can play a very good role in anti-ultraviolet radiation, and then achieve sunscreen, delay the role of skin aging. It is very worthwhile to eat in the summer when the sun exposure is relatively strong.
4. Lycopene also has the role of alcohol. Often drink alcohol will have no small harm to the body, take some lycopene can effectively reduce the damage of alcohol on the liver, and can effectively reduce the dizziness, vomiting and other adverse conditions after drunkenness.
5. Lycopene has a more prominent role in improving male sexual function. Regular supplementation of lycopene can improve the sexual quality of men and help improve the quality of sperm. Therefore, people with this need can eat some lycopene to achieve the purpose of nourishment.
