Lucuma extract
Lucuma extract – antioxidant cell protection & sun protection booster from the Andes
Lucuma extract strengthens the skin's immune system, protects against free radicals and supports natural light protection – ideal for impure, mature or sun-damaged skin.
Introduction / Brief description
Lucuma (INCI: Pouteria Lucuma ) is a nutrient-rich Andean fruit with skin-protecting and regenerating properties. The golden-yellow fruit contains a variety of antioxidants, vitamins, and trace elements. Lucuma extract helps prevent light-induced skin damage and strengthens the skin's defenses—ideal for mature, blemished, or sun-damaged skin.
Origin & Production
Lucuma originates from the high altitudes of the Andes in Peru, Chile, and Ecuador. The fruits are harvested from wild-growing lucuma trees and carefully processed. The extract in myrto products comes from certified organic cultivation and is extracted while preserving all valuable ingredients.
Effect on the skin
- Carotenoids (Beta-carotene, Vitamin A): Cell protection, anti-aging & repair of sun-damaged skin
- Zinc: antibacterial, clarifying for impure skin & pimples
- Vitamin C: supports collagen synthesis & has an antioxidant effect

Recent studies show that lucuma extract increases the skin's natural sun protection and can counteract sun-induced damage. It helps reduce blackheads, counteract acne, and smooth skin texture.
