Gentler than lemon olive oil! Tomato olive oil becomes the new favorite, a skincare blessing for girls with sensitive stomachs
This time you don’t have to pucker up from the sourness!
Summary
- BBLAB launches a new generation of tomato olive oil sachets, sparking a new skincare trend among Korean girls following the earlier lemon olive oil craze.
- By combining lycopene from tomatoes with extra virgin olive oil, it can significantly boost the absorption of fat-soluble nutrients.
- Made with 100% organic ingredients from Spain, with no added sugar or preservatives, for a clean, feel-good formula.
- The flavor is milder and less sharp than lemon olive oil, making it especially friendly for those with sensitive stomachs and easy to take on the go.
Remember the “lemon olive oil” craze that was everywhere on social media a while back? A small spoonful on an empty stomach was touted as a way to boost metabolism and stimulate digestion, yet its acidic flavor was simply too much for many people with sensitive stomachs. Recently, a gentler alternative has quietly emerged: “tomato olive oil.” Wellness brand BBLAB’s portable tomato olive oil packets combine tomato and extra-virgin olive oil, and have quickly become a new favorite in Korean women’s bags.

Why are Korean women switching to this?
Rather than simply supplementing with vitamins, lycopene, the key antioxidant in tomatoes, is a fat-soluble nutrient that needs to be paired with quality fats for optimal absorption. BBLAB blends the two in an appropriate ratio, allowing you to get the nutritional benefits of tomato and olive oil at the same time. Most appealing of all, tomatoes’ naturally sweet, slightly tart flavor is much easier to drink than the strong acidity of lemon, so there’s no need to grit your teeth and force it down.

For its ingredients, BBLAB uses raw materials that are 100% organically grown in Spain. No sugar or artificial preservatives are added during production, ensuring pure nourishment without burdening the body. The portable stick-pack design is especially convenient, whether you tear one open before heading out in the morning or take it to the office as part of your daily wellness routine.
For anyone who has wanted to try taking oil in the morning but worries about stomach discomfort, this tomato olive oil is undoubtedly a more thoughtful option. Its low-irritation formula makes it easier to drink on an empty stomach and means building healthy habits no longer has to be something you endure.
