Italian skincare company Comfort Zone has added to its range of products with the launch of Skin Defender Urban Protection Emulsion SPF30.

The product contains an ingredient, new to the company, called lycopene, which is sourced from the skin of the tomato, and is said to possess strong antioxidant properties.

Furthermore, it is claimed that the lycopene will help to aid protection against 95 per cent of skin ageing that is caused by external factors such as the sun and pollution.

The emulsion is suitable for all skin types throughout the year and can be applied either on top of a day cream, or by itself before the application of make-up.
