The skin's need for protection from the sun's rays increases, especially in the summer months, and Heliocare, a brand of Cantabria Labs, is developed specifically to meet this need. That is why it offers great protection against the sun, thanks to its exclusive Fernblock® technology, which acts as a protective barrier and helps to prevent damage to the skin, both in the short term, such as sunburn, and in the long term (ageing, loss of defences or major problems such as skin cancer).
This revolutionary technology has natural protection, which comes from Polypodium leucotomos, an American plant, a type of tropical fern, which generates powerful defence and repair mechanisms against the sun. And it combines physical, chemical and biological filters that stop all types of solar radiation.
Heliocare is a brand that has a complete line of photo-immunoprotective products, with products that take care on the outside (topical) and also protect from the inside (oral), such as Heliocare Ultra D.
All the products are designed with the most demanding skins in mind, those that need and are looking for sun protection that covers the entire spectrum of possibilities and is complete. That is why the range of products is adapted to the different needs of each skin type. There are different textures and formats, which has earned Heliocare very favourable opinions among sunscreen users.
Cantabria Labs is a Spanish pharmaceutical company specialising in dermatology. It is a reference brand in dermatological prescription in Europe, leader in Spain, and aspires to be recognised internationally as one of the leading Spanish companies in the health sector. The company focuses on innovation and entrepreneurship to build a better and healthier world, and its product range includes photoprotection, hair care, and products for the proper functioning of the immune system. Cantabria Labs is present in more than 85 countries with its dermatological, cosmeceutical, food and nutriceutical products.
Before being called Cantabria Labs, the company was called Industrial Farmacéutica Cantabria (IFC). Founded in 1989, the company specialised in the manufacture of medicines and cosmetic products related to skin problems, and eventually diversified into other areas such as nutrition and pet care. In 2018, the company changed its name to Cantabria Labs to symbolise its internationalisation, evolution and growth.
Sunbathing is one of the favourite activities for many Spaniards in summer, as it provides a very flattering skin tone. It is true that sunbathing can be very beneficial for our health, as the sun helps us to assimilate certain vitamins, among other health benefits. But without protection, sun exposure can become a real problem.
At Farmaciasdirect you can buy Heliocare, which has a long list of products that offer effective protection. The oral line starts that protection from the inside, fully compatible with the topical line. Heliocare capsules complete the deficiencies that may have creams and fluids, which can, at some point, see their effectiveness diminished due to sweating or bathing. It provides full coverage of the skin against the sun and also contains defences that prevent the effects of photo-ageing and erythema.
Among the products in this range is Heliocare 360 capsules, which is a novel photo-immunoprotector with dermatologically proven efficacy, as it protects against visible and infrared radiation.
Heliocare Ultra D is also part of the brand's oral line, and provides the body with a large amount of Vitamin D. It has powerful antioxidant properties that protect the skin. It also creates a uniform shield on the body's surface that prevents the harmful effects of the sun's radiation. It protects, repairs and neutralises free radicals.
Another product is Heliocare capsules, a total sun defence from the inside out. It strengthens the skin while helping it to tan, beautifully and healthily. And last but not least, Heliocare Bronze, which enhances the tan and makes it more intense.
Within the brand's protective creams and fluids there is a very well-known range, the 360º. Heliocare's new dermatological protection. It is a line of sun protection products that aims to go further, and has a 360º effect, as it protects, neutralises rays and their effects, repairs and has a very innovative texture. This is the case of the Fluid Cream, which melts into the skin and leaves a silk touch finish.
Heliocare 360 Gel is more melting, although it is quickly absorbed and leaves no shine. Ideal for the beach, mountains, snow, water sports, for the city or for sports or work to be done outdoors. There is also this same Oil Free product, without oil, for skins that need a dry touch and an anti-shine finish, as well as a sebum-regulating and mattifying action.
Cantabria Labs have come up with a texture that did not exist on the market before, an ultra-light, air-textured gel that is applied with an aerosol spray. This is Heliocare Airgel. All this maximises the photo-immunoprotective action of these sunscreens at all times.
Advanced is another of the ranges. With fernblock technology, it protects any day of the year with an ultra-light texture that immediately melts into the skin without leaving any trace of sunscreen. Heliocare Gel 50 is one of the most popular products among customers, as it absorbs quickly and easily and leaves no white traces when applied. It has a very high sun protection SPF 50, just like the XF Gel. It is also available in a cream format and also with a slightly lower SPF 30 protection. All of them generate very favourable reviews for Heliocare.
These sunscreens developed with the high cosmetic technology provided by a laboratory like Cantabria Labs for a brand like Heliocare, is what makes the confidence of consumers very high, something that adds to the great protection with the maximum sensation of lightness that their products provide.
Heliocare Gel 90 is presented by the brand itself as "the lightest and most comfortable armour", as it completely protects against all the harmful effects of the sun, without the discomfort often caused by greasy and pasty creams, which leave the skin greasy and sticky.
It is a non-comedogenic sunscreen, with a gel texture, as its name suggests, which is quickly absorbed. Heliocare 90 has a combination of very advanced filters, which makes possible such a high Sun Protection Factor, indicated for skins with a very high sensitivity to radiation. It is suitable for normal to oily skin.
The other Heliocare ultra product is in cream format. It prevents the appearance of unwanted wrinkles, and something very important, not only for aesthetic reasons but also because of the problems it can cause in the long term: blemishes. In this case, this Heliocare 90 cream format is designed for normal to dry skin, as the nutrition and hydration is greater.
On the Farmaciasdirect website you can buy Heliocare at pharmacy prices. Its pharmacists and professionals in aesthetics and cosmetics are available, via email, to answer any questions that may arise before or after the purchase of these or other products.
