Juicy Curls Ahead: The Secret Sauce is Tomato Extract

Familia, we’re spilling the (tomato) tea on a powerful little ingredient that’s doing big things for your curls!

You’ve seen tomatoes in your kitchen, but did you know their extract is a secret weapon for healthy, vibrant curls? In this blog, we're diving into the antioxidant-packed benefits of Tomato Extract, featured in our newest Curl Refresher Spray. It’s the perfect in-between wash day pick-me-up and the ultimate finishing touch to your 4-step Ocoa routine.

What is Tomato Extract?

Tomato Extract is derived from—you guessed it—juicy, ripe tomatoes! This natural ingredient is rich in antioxidants like lycopene, vitamins A, C, and E, and essential nutrients that help shield your curls from daily stressors. Tomatoes aren’t just good for your health—they’re amazing for your hair too!

Our Dominican roots inspired us to include this superfruit in our formula. Tomatoes are grown all over San Jose de Ocoa, our moms hometown and the inspiration for our namesake. We knew its rich benefits needed to be included in our latest product to upgrade your modern curl routine.

5 Benefits of Tomato Extract for Curly Hair

• Antioxidant Protection: Tomato Extract is loaded with lycopene, a powerful antioxidant that helps neutralize free radicals caused by pollution, heat, and sun exposure—keeping your curls protected and vibrant.
• Damage Repair & Prevention: Whether it's heat styling or UV exposure, curls go through a lot. Tomato Extract helps repair and protect your strands from breakage, keeping them strong and resilient.
• Enhances Moisture Retention: Tomato Extract supports moisture balance by smoothing the hair cuticle, helping curls stay soft, defined, and frizz-free.
• Boosts Shine and Vitality: Dull curls? Not anymore. Tomato Extract revives tired-looking hair, adding natural shine and bounce to every strand.
• Soothes and Nourishes the Scalp: Healthy curls start with a healthy scalp! Tomato Extract has soothing and anti-inflammatory properties that help reduce irritation and promote a balanced scalp environment.
