I want to create a new product, a skin lotion, specifically a natural one using tomato. How should I proceed? Can you recommend ingredients for production? Thank you.
Answer
Creating a Natural Tomato Skin Lotion
To create a natural skin lotion with tomato, you can incorporate "Tomato Natural Water Soluble Color" to add the natural color of tomato to your product. This ingredient is a natural color powder derived from tomatoes and is soluble in water.
For a moisturizing and nourishing lotion base, consider including the following ingredients:
- Shea Butter (Ultra Soft): A natural fat that provides excellent moisturizing properties, helps restore damaged skin cells, and improves skin elasticity. It is mixed in the oil phase of the formulation.
- Glycerin (USP/Food Grade): A humectant that attracts and retains moisture in the skin, making it soft and smooth. It is mixed in the water phase.
- Hyaluronic Acid (Standard Molecule): Helps to moisturize the outer layer of the skin and can form a light gel texture. It is dissolved in the water phase.
- Vitamin E (Tocopheryl Acetate): A stable form of Vitamin E that acts as an antioxidant, protecting the skin from free radicals. It is mixed with other oils or emulsifiers.
These ingredients, combined with the tomato color, can help you create a natural lotion with moisturizing and antioxidant benefits.
