Fernblock Technology®

Fernblock Technology®
Fernblock® is the base active ingredient of HELIOCARE®. It is an exclusive standardised extract of Polypodium Leucotomos with powerful protective, antioxidant and restorative action that works both topically and orally. Its active ingredients act on all four types of radiation (UVB, UVA, Visible and IR) and prevent both their immediate damage (burns) and those that arise over time: skin aging, dark spots, loss of defences, allergies and even skin cancer.

Fernblock® protection levels
Fernblock® has shown numerous benefits, both topically and orally, in more than 50 studies and scientific publications. The effectiveness of this technology continues to be investigated with excellent results. In addition, its extraction method has been optimised, enhancing its activity and resulting in a new generation extract: Fernblock®+.

Sun protection
Fernblock® has been shown to multiply the skin’s resistance to sunburn. Its protective activity extends to the entire radiation spectrum protecting our skin from the specific damage caused by the 4 types of radiation (UVB, UVA, Visible and IR).

Repairing DNA damage
Solar radiation causes damage to our cell DNA, which builds up and can lead to health problems. Fernblock® technology has been shown to prevent the formation of this damage and increase and accelerate its repair. This activity helps prevent sun damage from accumulating, achieving advanced photoprotection levels.

Antioxidant activity
The powerful antioxidant action of Fernblock® is due to different molecules concentrated in the extract, able to neutralise and eliminate the free radicals generated during and after exposure.

Prevention of photoaging and pigmentation control
Fernblock® technology protects our skin cells and increases collagen, hyaluronic acid and elastin, fundamental components to maintain its structure. This prevents wrinkle formation and loss of firmness. It also helps reduce the intensity and size of sun spots and improves skin resistance to pigmentation.

Immune defence
Our skin has an important defence system against external aggressions that is negatively affected by the sun. Increased sun exposure increases our vulnerability. Fernblock® protects and regulates skin defences so that they remain intact against external threats.
