Outstanding photostable protection across the UVA/UVB spectrum
Helioplex® represents a breadth of stabilized sunscreen technologies specifically engineered to deliver broad-spectrum, superior protection from UVA/UVB damage.
Exceptional absorbance throughout the UV spectrum
- Maintains over 85% of UVA protection after 5 hours (simulated UV irradiation levels approximating 5 hours of midday sun exposure)1
- Resists photodegradation, even under high-intensity irradiation2
UV absorbance compared with other broad spectrum sunscreens1
Outstanding protection against harsh UVA insult
UVA protection factor: Ultra Sheer® SPF 85 with Helioplex® technology1
Protection against UV-induced cellular damage
A single application of broad spectrum SPF 55 sunscreen with Helioplex® technology provided protection for multiple cellular markers against a UV insult of 55 minimal erythema doses (MED).3
Suppresses thymine-dimer formation3
UV-induced skin damage may cause skin cells to mutate and lead to skin cancer.
Thymine dimers2
Minimizes depletion of Langerhans cells3
UV exposure is known to reduce the presence of Langerhans cells in the epidermis, compromising skin immunity and leading to immune suppression.
Langerhans cells (CD1a+)
