Heliocare: New ASPA-Fernblock technology and Opti-D
Heliocare are globally renowned for their original, patented Fernblock technology. Now, Cantabria Labs has introduced an even more advanced formulation: ASPA-Fernblock. If you are looking to upgrade your sun protection routine, here is a complete breakdown of what makes this new technology a game-changer for your skin's health.
What is the difference between Fernblock and ASPA-Fernblock?
Fernblock (The Original)
The original core Heliocare technology is based on a standardized extract of Polypodium leucotomos, a tropical fern native to Central America that developed a natural self-defense mechanism against the sun. It provides powerful antioxidant, protective, and repairing activity against UVB, UVA, visible light, and infrared radiation.
ASPA-Fernblock (The Upgrade)
ASPA-Fernblock is the newer, expanded version. It is an exclusive technology that combines the original Polypodium leucotomos with Aspalathus linearis, a shrub native to South Africa highly recognized for its intense antioxidant properties.
This unique combination creates a powerful dual effect:
Photo-Stabilizing Filter: It acts as a natural booster, providing up to 15% more SPF protection when combined with chemical filters.
Enhanced Cell Repair: It actively induces natural cell repair mechanisms to reverse sun damage at a deeper level.
