Product Features

  • Provides daytime protection from pollutants in a nourishing but light formulation suited to all skin types
  • Prebiotics and probiotic extracts improve barrier function by bolstering the formation of tight junctions.
  • An extract of Devil’s Claw is used to modulate your skin’s inflammatory response, which slows the ageing process
  • A targeted extract of Kigelia is added to firm the skin and improve elasticity

Key ingredients

  • Manketti and Yangu – these two ingredients work together to help block UVA and UVB rays at a low (but natural) SPF factor of around 4.
  • Prebiotics – Inulin and Alpha-Glucan Oligosaccharides have been included to shift the microbial population in a direction that will reduce inflammation and boost barrier function.
  • Probiotic extracts – the Defence Moisturiser uses BIOME+ level 2 and 3 probiotic Lactobacillus species to improve the beneficial microbial populations on the skin by having an anti-microbial effect on opportunistic microbes. The overall effect is to boost skin condition and plump the skin by improving hydration and T-junction activity.
  • Devil’s Claw Extract – Harpagoside and related compounds permeate the stratum corneum and reduce immunoreactive compounds to help with the protection of elastin and collagen.
  • Kigelia Extract – Kigelia extract has a strong firming effect on the skin. Results are seen after two weeks of continuous use.
  • Low Molecular Mass Hyaluronic Acid – the Hyaluronic Acid levels in this product are high. A strong hydrating and anti-wrinkle effect will be seen.
