Reference photoprotection for healthy living in the sun
A point of reference for skin care professionals which, thanks to its innovative Fernblock® Technology, protects against the sun’s 4 radiations (UVB-UVA-VL-IR), neutralises free radicals and repairs sun damage both inside and out.
HELIOCARE efficacy has been scientifically proven in over 50 studies published in leading international medical journals. Evidence demonstrates that it is not only effective in photoprotection, but also for the prevention of skin aging, actinic damage, sun allergies and dark spots.
Fernblock Technology®
Fernblock® is the base active ingredient of HELIOCARE®. It is an exclusive standardised extract of Polypodium Leucotomos with powerful protective, antioxidant and restorative action that works both topically and orally. Its active ingredients act on all four types of radiation (UVB, UVA, Visible and IR) and prevent both their immediate damage (burns) and those that arise over time: skin aging, dark spots, loss of defences, allergies and even skin cancer.
Fernblock® technology arose from research by the Cantabria Labs Group together with the research team of Dr. Fitzpatrick of Harvard University (Harvard Medical School) with the aim of developing a complete sun protection mechanism.
They demonstrated that this extract not only prevents immediate damage such as sunburn, but also provides protection capable of preventing long-term negative effects such as DNA damage, skin aging, loss of defences or sun allergies.
Our extraction method is what guarantees maximum efficacy and safety: It is obtained from selected plants that grow under controlled conditions in laboratory processes according to Pharmaceutical Quality Standards.
The effectiveness of this technology continues to be investigated with excellent results. In addition, its extraction method has been optimised, enhancing its activity and resulting in a new generation extract: Fernblock®+
