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.
