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 + 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.
