Product description:
Hydropom® is a water-based lycopene-containing product specifically created for the cosmetic sector. To reach this goal, Phenbiox developed the new exclusively patented A.M.C. (Aquose Microdisperse Carotenoids) technology, which can be combined with the Bioliquefaction technology in order to create micro-dispersions of oil soluble molecules in water phase. Therefore, Hydropom® is a natural product, obtained using skins of tomatoes harvested in Italy, containing a completely water-soluble lycopene. 
 
Lycopene has been broadly studied for its protective effects due to its high anti-radical potential, and a lycopene-rich diet is known to be able to protect the skin from UV radiation. However, the main limitation of such a diet is the slow and non-homogenous delivery of the skin protection. Hydropom® enables a quick, effective and homogenous delivery of the amount of lycopene needed to get an efficient protection against UV radiation. 
 
The protective effect of Hydropom® against environmental stress caused by anthropogenic pollution was assessed in different areas of the city of Bologna in Italy, in a very polluted crossroad and a park, with strictly monitored pollutions levels. The result - Hydropom® is able to provide a very efficient protection against environmental pollution.
