This improves the health and appearance of the skin by “hacking” the communication systems of potentially harmful skin microbiota and has benefits for those with skin conditions, such as psoriasis, rosacea, acne, atopic dermatitis, and seborrheic dermatitis, among others.

Beta-carotene
Beta-carotene belongs to a group of coloured pigments called carotenoids. Our bodies convert beta carotene into vitamin A, which is essential for healthy skin. When used in RADICARE®-GOLD with xanthophylls and crambe abyssinica seed oil in Instant Glow Tinted Complexion Balm™ it becomes a core part of a powerful antioxidant complex that acts as your personal Faraday shield – a barrier to oxidative stress from natural and digital radiation, such as high-energy visible light (HEV light, or blue light). RADICARE®-GOLD contains a blend of natural carotenoids from the freshwater alga Tetradesmus obliquus. It simulates the protective mechanism algae use to shield themselves against the oxidative stress caused by radiation. This exclusive blend of carotenoids (the orange pigments found in food) with crambe abyssinica seed oil (high in omega-9) and xanthophylls replenishes the valuable carotenoids of the skin barrier, helping protect skin from the premature ageing and improve skin resilience to the stressors of modern life.
-
Crambe abyssinica seed oil

Sunflower
Essential fatty acids and Vitamin E promote skin health, while selenium repairs cellular DNA. Phytoestrogens fight free radicals and reduce wrinkles.
