In practice

• Tomato seed oil can be used as an ingredient in your cosmetic blends.

• Because of its pronounced orange colour, we recommend using it diluted at a rate of 1 to 30%, mixed into your oil blend.

• Use as an oil phase in body and face creams.

• Because of the possible risks of oxidation linked to the sensitivity of this carrier oil, we recommend adding vitamin E or rosemary CO2 extract before heating for incorporation into an emulsion, or introducing it cold.
