Fernblock®

Exclusive standardised Polypodium leucotomos extract

It is our innovative, patented technology present in all HELIOCARE products. Naturally occurring, it comes from the tropical Polypodium Leucotomos fern that has developed unique protection mechanisms against the sun.

This technology was developed by Cantabria Labs in collaboration with Harvard Medical School and its effectiveness has been demonstrated in numerous scientific journals.

Beyond sunburn protection, Fernblock® offers us four new levels of protection that help prevent photoaging and the onset of certain skin cancers.


SCA® Growth Factor Technology

Technology rich in growth factors obtained from the purified secretion of Cryptomphalus aspersa

SCA® Growth Factor Technology, is a technology rich in growth factors that is present in most of ENDOCARE’s products. It comes from the secretion of Cryptomphalus aspersa, a natural source of skin regeneration with antioxidant and restorative properties. It has been developed by Cantabria Labs thanks to the research carried out by Dr. Rafael Abad in his studies on radiotherapy at Ramón y Cajal Hospital.

It has the ability to repair and stimulate aged cells to behave like young cells and has been designed specifically for the treatment of photoaging and recovery of skin affected by dermocosmetic techniques.


EDAFENCE® Powerful Anti-pollution Defence

Standardised Deschampsia antarctica extract with proven efficacy against pollution

It is the first patented, anti-pollution technology present in our brands ENDOCARE and NEORETIN that has proven effective against external aggressors. It is extracted from Deschampsia antartica, a plant in the Antarctica that survives in extreme environmental conditions. Cantabria Labs has developed an extraction process that allows the complete preservation of its beneficial activity. It helps prevent and repair skin damage caused by pollution, UV radiation, free radicals and environmental stressors, as well as demonstrating powerful, anti-aging activity.
