Why is daily broad-spectrum sun protection so important?

The sun damages skin every day, all year round – even on the cloudiest of days. In fact, rather than sun protection, we should think of it as daylight protection. That’s because while UVB is strongest in the Summer, UVA, visible light and infrared-A are present all year round. They release millions of free radicals in the skin causing damage that results in premature skin ageing and impaired skin health.

These daylight-induced free radicals damage:

• Skin cell DNA leading to mutations
•  Langerhans cells compromising the skins ability to protect itself
•  Melanocytes causing pigmentation
•  Collagen leading to lines, wrinkles and laxity

Heliocare 360° provides broad-spectrum protection against UVA, UVB, visible light and infrared-A and protects against the effects of free radicals.

What are the ingredients in Heliocare?

With maximum protection against UVA, UVB, visible light, infrared-A, free radicals and DNA damage, nothing protects skin like Heliocare 360°. It shields the skin’s surface and defends the skin from within with a unique combination of intelligent ingredients, including Fernbloc FC, mineral and non-mineral filters, fractional biomimetic melanin, OTZ-10 Pro Taurine, Roxisomes, Vitamin C, E and green tea extract.

Why is Fernblock FC so important?

Fernblock FC is derived from the fern Polypodium leucotomos; an aquatic plant that evolved to thrive on land by developing a powerful protective mechanism from the sun. Fernblock FC harnesses the power of this unique fern by a patented extract which is then fortified with ferulic and caffeic acid.

Fernblock FC fights and neutralises harmful free radicals in the skin and is clinically proven to protect fibroblasts, collagen, Langerhans cells and skin cell DNA.

This revolutionary technology is the result of years of research – with over 80 clinical papers – and is exclusive to Heliocare 360° products.
