Currently Heliocare® (Polypodium leucotomos extract) is the only agent known to provide systemic photoprotection, making it a major scientific breakthrough in sun protection. Although topical sunscreen formulations provide varied levels of protection against UVB and UVA radiation and protect from burning, they cannot completely stop all harmful UV rays from penetrating the skin. Heliocare® works by sustaining the skin's natural ability to deal with sun (UV) related effects and aging.*

UV radiation that penetrates the skin can trigger the release of free radicals that affect DNA and the cutaneous immune system.

Polypodium leucotomos (PL) extract has been scientifically proven to provide antioxidant properties, to help maintain skin structure and immune response and provide daily maintenance against the UV photoaging process.*
