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 Ultra-D Capsules
Elevate your daily photoprotection with Heliocare Ultra-D Capsules, the ultimate internal defense against environmental aggressors. Formulated with a high concentration of Polypodium Leucotomos Leaf Extract (Fernblock®), these capsules provide systemic antioxidant support to defend the skin's underlying architecture from the inside out. Unlike standard Heliocare Oral Capsules, the Ultra-D variant is supercharged with Vitamin D (Cholecalciferol), ensuring your body maintains optimal levels even when using high-factor topical sunscreens.
Clinical evidence highlights the importance of antioxidant supplementation in maintaining skin quality and radiance. By neutralizing free radicals generated by UVA, UVB, visible light, and infrared-A, this formula helps reduce the risk of sun-induced Ageing and supports the skin's natural immunological functions. It is particularly beneficial for those prone to sun-sensitive reactions, providing an extra layer of resilience during periods of high UV exposure. For comprehensive protection, always pair with a topical Heliocare 360 Airgel SPF 50.
