While some sunscreens can prevent sunburn, they fail to protect against free radicals that are generated in response to solar radiation.31
Free radicals not only destroy the skin’s youthful support structure, but their DNA-mutating effect increases their harmful effects on skin.31,32 Startling findings reveal that conventional sunscreens may not prevent skin damage.33
Scientists have discovered that the same antioxidants that suppress free radicals when ingested also protect the skin when topically applied.34-39 Life Extension has developed a cream that provides full-spectrum defense against all three types of ultraviolet radiation (short-wave UVA, long-wave UVA, and UVB). The formula’s SPF (sun protection factor) of 30 offers significant protection.
Total Sun Protection Cream contains standardized extracts of green tea, grape seed, silibinin, licorice, rosemary, and curcumin, along with the three most powerful sun-blocking agents. Total Sun Protection Cream is further enhanced with Phytosome™ Recovery Complex that binds antioxidant plant extracts to soy phospholipids, enhancing the delivery of the active ingredients into the skin.
