Ingredient Profiles
Heliocare Gelcream Colour Brown SPF 50
Heliocare Gelcream Colour Brown SPF 50 is a sophisticated, multi-tasking formulation that unveils radiant skin while providing elite-level protection against UV damage. This non-oily, hydrating fluid expertly combines advanced mineral and non-mineral filters to safeguard the complexion from photoageing. At its core is the clinically-proven Polypodium Leucotomos Leaf Extract, a powerful botanical antioxidant that helps prevent and repair skin damage caused by solar radiation (Clinical Study).
Designed to act as a breathable foundation, it masks uneven skin tone and blemishes with a healthy, bronzed look. The inclusion of Tocopheryl Acetate (Vitamin E) enhances the formula's antioxidant profile, protecting against environmental stressors (Clinical Study). For those with specific texture preferences, this product pairs beautifully with the Heliocare 360 Fluid Cream SPF 50 for a more matte alternative.

Heliocare Oral Capsules
Unveil a resilient, radiant complexion from the inside out with Heliocare Oral Capsules. Formulated with the revolutionary Polypodium Leucotomos Leaf Extract (Fernblock®), these supplements provide a vital secondary layer of protection against free radical damage caused by UV radiation. Clinically proven to enhance the skin's natural defences (Clinical Study), they are particularly effective for individuals prone to sun-induced sensitivities or Polymorphic Light Eruption (PLE). By neutralising oxidative stress, this internal supplement helps maintain DNA integrity and prevents premature Ageing. The addition of Niacinamide and Tocopheryl Acetate further supports the skin barrier and overall health. For maximum efficacy, always pair these capsules with a high-protection topical like Heliocare 360 Airgel SPF 50. Discover more about the synergy of these ingredients in our clinical deep-dive.
Safety & Application
Directions
Shake well before use. Apply approximately two full finger lengths of product to the face, ensuring even distribution. Extend coverage to the hairline and around the eyes, taking care to avoid direct contact with the eyes. Reapply every 2 hours during periods of high sun exposure, or immediately after sweating, swimming, or towel-drying the skin.
Safety Notice
For external use only. Avoid contact with eyes; if contact occurs, rinse thoroughly with water. Discontinue use if irritation develops. While this product contains antioxidants like Vitamin E, users should be mindful of total supplement intake to avoid toxicity ([Clinical Study](https://europepmc.org/article/MED/41278416)). This product is an excellent adjunctive for those managing blemish-prone skin alongside traditional skincare routines ([Clinical Study](https://europepmc.org/article/MED/41923969)).
Directions
Take one capsule daily in the morning, approximately 30 minutes before sun exposure. During periods of high intensity or prolonged exposure, a second capsule can be taken 4-6 hours later. **Note:** These capsules are a supplement and MUST be used in conjunction with a topical sunscreen such as [Heliocare 360 Fluid Cream SPF 50](/shop/heliocare-360-fluid-cream-spf-50).
Safety Notice
Food supplements should not be used as a substitute for a varied diet. Do not exceed the recommended daily dose. Keep out of reach of children. While antioxidants support skin health, over-supplementation of fat-soluble vitamins should be monitored ([Clinical Review](https://europepmc.org/article/MED/41278416)). If pregnant, breastfeeding, or taking medication, consult your doctor before use. This product does not replace the need for topical SPF.
