Lycopene, also known as lycopene, is the natural pigment responsible for the red colour of many fruits and vegetables, such as tomatoes, apricots and grapefruit. It is also a member of the carotenoid group of pigments that are produced by plants and microorganisms. It is a powerful antioxidant that protects cells from damage. Besides, some studies report that eating foods rich in lycopene can reduce the risk of certain types of cancer, such as prostate cancer and lung cancer.

Lycopene is used in a wide variety of products. It is widely used in the food industry where it is added to sauces, soups, juices and other foods for color enhancement and added health benefits. In the cosmetic industry, it is used in skin and hair care products such as face cream, shampoos and conditioners as it is believed to have anti-inflammatory and protective effects. And in the health market, lycopene is offered as a dietary supplement in capsules or tablets that promise to promote health and prevent the aforementioned ailments. It is important to note that even though lycopene is recognized as safe, its excessive use can cause side effects such as digestive upset or skin discoloration.
