Seven items you can no longer buy on Mercadona
Cosmetic innovations are continually evolving, with a growing emphasis on products crafted from natural ingredients. Such components are widely recognized for benefiting the skin, offering a range of properties that support healthy complexion and comfort.
Lycopene stands out among these ingredients. This pigment appears in certain fruits and vegetables that redden many foods, including tomatoes, bell peppers, and watermelon. Its standout feature is powerful antioxidant activity that protects the skin from aging effects while remaining suitable for sensitive skin types.
In addition to its antioxidant prowess, lycopene is rich in vitamins A, B, and C. These nutrients help to address skin spots driven by sun exposure and aging. For these reasons, lycopene is often celebrated as the “Red Gold” of cosmetics.
Mercadona lycopene serum
Approximately two years ago, Mercadona introduced a groundbreaking product rich in this potent antioxidant: lycopene oil. It is designed for all skin types, offering regenerating and calming effects that support a healthy appearance.
The Deliplus line features a lycopene serum produced by the supplier Totaler Lycolé (Cosmética Natural de Licopeno SL) at its facilities in Badajoz. A notable note states that producing one kilo of lycopene requires processing twenty thousand kilograms of tomatoes, with lycopene extracted from tomato seeds and skin.
According to the manufacturer, the formulation relies on natural raw materials sourced from uncontaminated fields, delivering a clean, all-natural product. The serum is suitable for daytime use and can be blended with a regular moisturizer for extra facial hydration. In Valencia, this product is sold in a 30 ml bottle, priced around five euros.
Other Mercadona cosmetics
Beyond the lycopene serum, several Mercadona cosmetics have drawn interest from customers. These include a foaming mask, an anti-aging cream with stem cells, and another affordable anti-aging cream priced under five euros.
The perfumery section also features popular items, including fragrance variants designed for a refined sensory experience. Some offerings are notably accessible, with prices under eight euros.
