With the sun’s intensity rising, safeguarding your skin against harmful UV rays has never been more imperative. Enter Heliocare Caps, a ground-breaking innovation from Cantabria Labs designed to fortify your skin from the inside out, providing a shield against a wide spectrum of damaging radiation.
 
In addition to the well-documented dangers of UV radiation, visible and infrared (IR) radiation pose substantial risks to skin health. While UV rays primarily affect the epidermis, leading to sunburn, premature ageing, and heightened skin cancer risk, visible and IR radiation penetrate deeper, reaching the dermis and triggering a cascade of detrimental effects.
 
Visible light, part of the electromagnetic spectrum visible to the human eye, can induce the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) within the skin. These highly reactive molecules can instigate oxidative stress, resulting in cellular damage, inflammation, and premature ageing. Visible light sources include sunlight, artificial lighting such as light bulbs and electronic devices, and natural phenomena like fires.
 
Similarly, infrared radiation, perceived as heat, can also generate ROS and contribute to oxidative stress within the skin. With its ability to penetrate deeper than UV radiation, IR radiation poses a significant threat to skin integrity, degrading collagen and elastin fibers, and exacerbating existing skin conditions like hyperpigmentation and melasma.
 
Heliocare Caps feature Fernblock^®, a potent antioxidant derived from a rare Central American plant species. This exclusive standardised Polypodium leucotomos extract offers powerful protective, antioxidant, and restorative properties, acting both topically and orally. With Fernblock’s comprehensive defence against UVB, UVA, visible, and IR radiation, Heliocare Caps prevent immediate damage, such as burns, while also addressing long-term concerns like skin ageing, dark spots, and even skin cancer risk.
