The Heliocare SPF range of products have something for everyone and are great for protecting your skin from sun damage.

What does Heliocare do?

Nothing protects your skin like Heliocare. Its revolutionary formulation not only shields the skin’s surface from damage, but also defends the skin from within with the unique and powerful Fernblock FC. This unrivalled combination means your skin will not only have the maximum protection against UVA, UVB, visible light and infrared-A, but also the free radicals caused by other environmental challenges too.

Fernblock FC is what makes Heliocare so unique. It’s a supercharged, fern-derived anti-oxidant that fights and neutralises harmful free radicals in your skin, defending your key skin cells like collagen and elastin. It’s the result of years of research and is exclusive to Heliocare products.

This unrivalled anti-oxidant activity is boosted with Vitamins C and E, while the addition of DNA repair enzymes minimise and repair DNA damage within skin cells – yet another cause of premature skin ageing.

With many elegant formulations, there’s a Heliocare for every skin type. Each one will leave your skin feeling beautiful today, and give you the ultimate daily defense you need for tomorrow; keeping your skin radiant, healthy and beautiful.

For your best skin tomorrow, protect your skin with Heliocare today.

What causes Sun Damage?

Sun damage to your skin is caused by the UV radiation in daylight. On hot sunny days the biggest threat to your skin is UVB radiation, but it’s the UVA, visible light and infrared-A radiation that affect your skin all year round – even on cloudy days.

UVB Radiation
UVB Radiation accounts for just 5% of the sun’s rays, and is most prevalent on hot, sunny days. UVB can only penetrate to the outermost layer of the skin (the epidermis) and this is where it causes the most damage.
UVB Radiation can cause: Sunburn // Pigmentation // Hyperkeratosis // Immunosuppression // DNA Damage // Skin Cancer

UVA Radiation
UVA Radiation accounts for 95% of the sun’s rays, and is generated all day, everyday – regardless of the weather or amount of cloud cover. UVA can penetrate deep into the innermost layer of the skin (the dermis) and can cause lasting damage.
UVA Radiation can cause: Free radical oxidative damage // Extra-cellular matrix breakdown// Loss of elasticity, structure, vitality & pigmentation // Immunosuppression // DNA Damage // Skin Cancer

Visible Light
Like UVA, visible light is present all day long, no matter the time of year or weather. It can also penetrate to both the epidermis and dermis and is responsible for a third of all free radicals produced in the skin.
High-Energy Visible Light can cause: Erythema // Pigmentation // Free radical oxidative damage // Immunosuppression // DNA Damage // Skin Cancer

Infrared-A
Infrared-A is present all day, everyday, regardless of the weather. It can penetrate the skin deep into the hypodermis and is the source of approximately one third of all solar radiation that reaches the skin.
Infrared-A can cause: Collagen breakdown // Free radical oxidative damage // Immunosuppression // DNA Damage // Skin Cancer

So what can be done to protect your skin?

All of these factors contribute to the premature ageing of skin and damage to skin health, but fear not! Heliocare’s revolutionary formulation not only shields the skin’s surface from damage, but also defends the skin from within with the unique and powerful Fernblock FC. This unrivalled combination means your skin will not only have the maximum protection against UVA, UVB, visible light and infrared-A, but also the free radicals caused by other environmental challenges too.
