Ingredient Profiles
Heliocare 360 Airgel SPF 50+
Heliocare 360 Airgel SPF 50+ unveils a new era in dermatological sun protection, offering an innovative, ultra-light foaming mousse that melts into the skin for a weightless, invisible finish. This professional-grade formula provides maximum broad-spectrum defense, making it an essential component of any advanced skincare regimen.
At the heart of this formulation is Fernblock® FC, a potent botanical extract derived from Polypodium leucotomos, clinically shown to protect skin cells and support natural DNA repair mechanisms. This is particularly vital for maintaining skin integrity after professional treatments where the skin barrier requires enhanced protection (Clinical Study).
Enriched with a stabilized form of Vitamin C and Vitamin E, this airgel neutralizes free radicals to dramatically refine texture and prevent the visible signs of photo-ageing. While it is highly suitable for sensitive and acne-prone skin due to its non-comedogenic, anti-bacterial technology (Clinical Research), it remains a popular choice for all skin types seeking a non-greasy, refreshing feel.
Heliocare Gelcream Colour Light SPF 50
Unveil a flawless, radiant complexion while providing your skin with ultimate protection. The Heliocare Gelcream Colour Light SPF 50 is a multi-tasking marvel that combines high-level sun protection with the skin-perfecting benefits of a natural foundation. This non-oily, hydrating fluid is expertly designed to mask uneven skin tone and blemishes, leaving a healthy, bronzed glow that lasts all day.
At the heart of this formulation is Polypodium Leucotomos Leaf Extract, a powerful photobiological protectant clinically proven to defend against oxidative stress and solar radiation (Clinical Study). To ensure your skin remains plump and youthful, it features Sodium Hyaluronate for deep hydration and Tocopheryl Acetate (Vitamin E) to bolster the skin's natural barrier against environmental aggressors (Clinical Evidence).
Whether you are looking for daily photoageing protection or a post-procedure skin enhancer, this gel-cream provides a seamless, dewy finish. For those seeking advanced water-resistance or oil-free options, consider the Heliocare 360 Airgel SPF 50 or the Heliocare 360 Fluid Cream SPF 50.

Safety & Application
Directions
Shake the canister well before use. Holding the bottle in an upright position, dispense a small amount into the palm of your hand—the mousse will expand significantly. Apply approximately two full finger lengths of product to the face and neck, ensuring even coverage up to the hairline and around the eyes. Reapply every 2-3 hours during periods of intensive sun exposure, or immediately after swimming, sweating, or towelling the skin to maintain optimal protection levels.
Safety Notice
For external use only. Avoid direct contact with eyes and mucous membranes; if contact occurs, rinse thoroughly with water. Discontinue use if irritation develops. This is a pressurized container; do not expose to temperatures exceeding 50°C or store in direct sunlight. Keep out of reach of children. While topical antioxidants like Vitamin E are highly beneficial, patients should be mindful of over-supplementation if using oral variants alongside topical application ([Safety Study](https://europepmc.org/article/MED/41278416)).
Directions
Shake well before use. Apply approximately two full finger lengths of product to the face, ensuring even distribution. Pay close attention to the hairline and the area around the eyes. For sustained protection, reapply every 2 hours during high sun exposure, or immediately after sweating, swimming, or towel-drying. This product serves as an excellent adjunctive step in a routine containing [Niacinamide](/ingredients/niacinamide) to support overall skin health ([Clinical Study](https://europepmc.org/article/MED/41923969)).
Safety Notice
For external use only. Avoid direct contact with the eyes; if contact occurs, rinse thoroughly with water. High-factor sunscreens are essential for preventing photoageing, but over-supplementation of certain vitamins should be monitored by a professional ([Clinical Reference](https://europepmc.org/article/MED/41278416)). Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
