Ingredient

Fresh Tomato

Lycopersicon Esculentum

Ripe tomatoes contain many beneficial nutrients, like vitamins A and C, potassium and lycopene. The refreshing, cooling and deodorizing action of fresh tomatoes makes them an ideal and potent ingredient for footcare products.

The tomato is a member of the potato family and the nightshade genus, and it originates from western South America. There are now thousands of varieties, adapted to all sorts of climates across the globe. It's technically a fruit, as the red tomato can be classified as a berry, but the US Supreme Court labelled it as a vegetable after a dispute on import duties.
