HelioJoy

Skin Defense from Within, Without Compromise

Inside-out skin and sun-resilience support built entirely from clinically-studied, branded ingredients — dosed the way the research actually intended.

Your skin takes more from the sun than a burn — UV and the free radicals it generates drive much of what we think of as skin ageing. Topical sunscreen is essential and irreplaceable, but it isn't the whole story: it sits on the surface, and it's only as good as how evenly and often you apply it. HelioJoy works from the inside, supporting your skin's own antioxidant defences against the oxidative stress that sunlight and daily life generate. Premium, branded, clinically-studied actives at meaningful doses — to complement your sunscreen, never replace it. No filler. No compromise.

What's Inside — and Why It Matters

Polypodium leucotomos Extract 480 mg (Fernblock® by Cantabria Labs — Spain) A fern extract that's become the most-studied botanical in oral photoprotection. Fernblock® is the specific standardized extract behind that research — across numerous human studies, the consistent finding is an increase in the skin's minimal erythema dose (the amount of UV needed to start visibly reddening the skin), meaning skin that's measurably more resilient to UV stress from within. The natural cornerstone of this formula.

Astaxanthin 8 mg (AstaReal® by AstaReal — Sweden/Japan) One of the most powerful antioxidants found in nature, a deep-red carotenoid from microalgae — and AstaReal® is the most clinically-studied form. In a 16-week trial in 65 women, skin moisture and wrinkle depth significantly worsened in the placebo group over the autumn-to-winter test period, while the AstaReal® groups held steady — with elasticity gains in the higher-dose group. The takeaway: it helped skin resist the seasonal and environmental decline the placebo group couldn't. A standout active that punches well above its 8 mg weight.

Lycopene 10 mg (Lyc-O-Mato® by Lycored — USA) The red carotenoid antioxidant from tomatoes. In a 12-week study, people taking the Lyc-O-Mato® tomato complex at around 10 mg of lycopene daily showed a 38% reduction in UV-induced skin redness versus baseline — notably more than synthetic lycopene managed in the same study, thanks to the full spectrum of tomato carotenoids. Lyc-O-Mato® by Lycored is the exact branded complex used in that research.

Lutein 20 mg (FloraGLO® by Kemin — USA) Best known for the eyes, lutein also concentrates in skin, where it filters high-energy light and adds antioxidant protection. In a 12-week trial, oral lutein and zeaxanthin improved skin tone, elasticity, and resistance to UV (a measurable rise in minimal erythema dose); an earlier study found oral lutein raised skin hydration and elasticity over placebo. FloraGLO® is the most-studied lutein in the world, here at a full 20 mg.

Nicotinamide (Vitamin B3) 500 mg The amide form of vitamin B3, well-studied in skin. Oral nicotinamide supports the skin's energy metabolism and barrier — in controlled research it reduced transepidermal water loss (how fast skin loses moisture through the surface) by roughly 6–7% within a few months, reflecting a stronger moisture barrier, and it helps replenish the cellular energy UV exposure depletes in skin cells. A genuinely skin-relevant B-vitamin, dosed meaningfully rather than as a token amount.

Why HelioJoy Is Different

✓ Branded, traceable actives — Fernblock®, AstaReal®, Lyc-O-Mato®, FloraGLO® ✓ Built around the most-studied photoprotection botanical — Fernblock® Polypodium, not a generic extract ✓ A layered carotenoid defence— astaxanthin, lutein, and lycopene, each studied in its own human trials ✓ Clinically-relevant doses — the amounts used in the actual research, not fairy dust ✓ No proprietary blends — every milligram is on the label

The Synergy That Sets It Apart

HelioJoy builds the skin's antioxidant defence in layers. Fernblock® Polypodium anchors the formula as the most-studied inside-out photoprotection botanical, shown to raise the skin's UV-resilience threshold. Around it, three complementary carotenoids — astaxanthin, lutein, and lycopene — each concentrate in skin and quench UV-driven free radicals in their own way, and each has its own human research behind it, so together they cover more ground than any one alone. Nicotinamide supports the skin's own energy metabolism and moisture barrier underneath it all. A botanical cornerstone, a multi-carotenoid antioxidant layer, and skin-cell support — in one daily formula.

Who It's For

Anyone who spends time in the sun and thinks about what it does to their skin over the years. People who already use sunscreen diligently and want to support their skin from the inside as well, frequent travellers and outdoor types, and anyone focused on protecting their skin against the oxidative stress behind visible ageing. People who understand this is one layer of a smart approach — not a replacement for the basics.

How to Use It — and What It Isn't

Take daily as directed. Skin defence and resilience build with consistent use — the studies behind these ingredients ran over 8 to 16 weeks, so make HelioJoy part of your daily routine and give it time.

One thing we'll always be straight about: HelioJoy is not a sunscreen and not a substitute for one. It does not have an SPF, it does not block UV, and it will not stop you burning. It's designed to complement proper sun protection — sunscreen, shade, clothing, and sensible sun habits — by supporting your skin's antioxidant defences from within. Keep using your sunscreen exactly as you always should.

Smart sun habits, supported from within. One more layer of defence.
