Ingredient Profiles
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.
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.
