heliocare

Heliocare is a suncare brand, developed by Cantabria Labs in Spain, that specialises in advanced sun protection. Founded in 2001, Heliocare is best known for its innovative products that combine both topical and oral solutions for comprehensive protection against sun damage. Their unique Fernblock technology, derived from a tropical fern, helps protect the skin from harmful UV rays, visible light, and infrared radiation. Whether you’re looking for daily sun protection or extra care for sensitive skin, Heliocare’s got you covered.

Heliocare's most popular products are part of their 360° range, designed to provide comprehensive sun protection. The 360° Oil-Free Gel is a standout, offering broad-spectrum protection with a matte finish, making it ideal for oily and acne-prone skin.

For those with sensitive skin, the 360° Mineral Tolerance Fluid provides gentle, mineral-based protection.

The 360° Water Gel is another favourite, known for its lightweight, hydrating formula that absorbs quickly without leaving a greasy residue. Additionally, Heliocare's 360° Oral Capsules are popular for internal sun protection, helping to shield the skin from within. These products reflect Heliocare's commitment to advanced skincare and sun protection.

Most Heliocare sunscreens combine both mineral (physical) and chemical filters to provide broad-spectrum protection, while also offering lightweight textures that suit different skin types. If you prefer a mineral-only formula, the Mineral Tolerance Fluid is a great option. It absorbs quickly and is ideal for sensitive skin.

All Heliocare sunscreens are SPF50 or higher to ensure the best chance of giving skin a high level of protection. By using a higher SPF, such as SPF50 or 50+, even if we don't apply as much product or reapply as regularly, we increase the chances of providing our skin with adequate protection against heightened sun exposure, whether on holiday or in daily life.

Most Heliocare products are designed with reef safety in mind, but a few still contain filters like octinoxate, which are being phased out. If you're looking for a reef-friendly option, go for the Heliocare 360° Water Gel — it's kind to marine life.
