CRYSTAL TOMATO® SPECIAL

This Is Why

You Need a

Sunscreen

That Protects

Against

Blue Light

It’s the light that harms your

skin even more than UVA

and UVB rays. And that’s

what Crystal Tomato®’s

Beyond Sun Protection

shields against. Meet the

 rst sunscreen clinically

proven to deflect more than

50 per cent of the blue light

menace from the skin.

T

he founders of

local beauty brand

Crystal Tomato®

wanted to create a

sunscreen that could

be clinically proven to

protect against blue light.

That vision took them

 ve years and at least

30 product revisions

to realise. The result is

CrystalTomato®Beyond

SunProtection.

involved 22 testers using
