- Boosting your body's own UV protection
- Providing antioxidant and anti-inflammatory support for healthier hair, skin and nails
Contains
- Green Tea Extract - The polyphenols in green tea help protect against UVB light-induced skin disorders associated with immune suppression and DNA damage.
- Olive Fruit Extract - The olive fruit has potent antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, supporting skin, hair and nail health.
- Vitamins A and D- Vitamin A is a powerful antioxidant that prevents oxidative stress from free radicals that are damaging to the skin. Vitamin D plays a role in hair follicle growth and is a critical vitamin for hair regeneration.
- Zinc - Helps to maintain the integrity of the skin, as many dermatologic conditions are associated with zinc insufficiency.
- Copper - Involved in the formation of collagen and elastin, helpful for skin cell regeneration.
- Manganese - Necessary to activate the enzyme prolidase for collagen formation.
- Biotin - Helps to increase nail plate thickness in those with brittle nails.
- Grape Seed Extract - Promotes hair cell growth
