Fernblock® Technology

Fernblock® is the signature ingredient in Heliocare — an exclusive, standardized extract of Polypodium leucotomos with potent antioxidant properties, studied both topically and orally. Rich in antioxidants, it helps support the skin’s natural defenses against the oxidative stress caused by everyday environmental exposure, including sun, pollution and visible light.*

THE STORY BEHIND FERNBLOCK®

Fernblock® technology was developed through research by Cantabria Labs together with Dr Fitzpatrick’s team at Harvard Medical School, exploring how a botanical antioxidant could help support skin exposed to the sun.

This patented, standardized extract is supported by more than 50 clinical studies and scientific publications examining its antioxidant properties and its role in helping support skin against the effects of environmental oxidative stress.

The key lies in our exclusive extraction method, which ensures the purity and consistency of the extract. It’s obtained from carefully selected plants grown under controlled conditions and processed to high pharmaceutical quality standards.

PROPERTIES OF FERNBLOCK®

Protection levels

 

Fernblock® has been shown in more than 80 scientific studies and publications to have numerous benefits, both topically and orally. The efficacy of this technology continues to be investigated today with excellent results. In addition, its extraction method has been optimized, enhancing its activity and giving rise to a new generation extract: Fernblock®+.

 

Antioxidant defense across the light spectrum

 

Fernblock®is rich in antioxidants that help neutralize free radicals generated by exposure to UV, visible and infrared light — the everyday oxidative stress that can affect the look and resilience of skin over time.

Qué es Fernblock®

Antioxidant Support

Free radicals generated by sun and other environmental exposure contribute to oxidative stress in skin over time. Fernblock®’s antioxidant properties help support the skin’s natural defenses against this everyday oxidative stress.

Antioxidant activity

Its antioxidant action comes from a specific pattern of molecules concentrated in the extract, such as phenolic compounds, that help neutralize free radicals generated during and after sun exposure.

Helping skin look its best

By helping defend against oxidative stress, Fernblock® supports skin exposed to daily environmental factors — helping maintain a smooth, even and youthful-looking appearance.
