    Organic Grape Powder is very high in a naturally occurring compound known as Polyphenols. Which growing evidence suggest helps prevent skin cancer.

    Polypodium Leucotomos A tropical fern native to Central and South America, traditionally used to treat sunburn, eczema, melasma, psoriasis, and other skin issues. This plant's high antioxidants may reduce inflammation linked to increased sunburn risk and help prevent damage from excessive sun exposure. Polypodium Leucotomos prevents skin cell changes linked to premature aging and supports healthy DNA function affected by UV exposure.

    Epigallocatechin Gallate (EGCG) The primary ingredient in Green Tea Extract. EGCG effectively prevents UV-induced cell damage, sunburn, immunosuppression, and skin cancer, demonstrating strong chemopreventive properties against UV. Enhances skin elasticity, hydration, and smooths fine lines and roughness. Proven to prevent wrinkles and rejuvenate skin cells through its anti-inflammatory effects.

    Astaxanthin A red pigment belonging to the carotenoid group. It is found in certain algae and gives salmon their pink-red color. Daily use may help you develop a natural tan without sun exposure. This is caused by the red pigment. Astaxanthin's antioxidants protect cells, enhance immune, eye, and cognitive functions, and offer internal UV protection by reducing sun damage absorbed through cell membranes. Evidence from studies on humans, animals, and cells shows astaxanthin boosts sun protection and mitigates UV damage and skin aging. Sunscreen brands are now recognizing Astaxanthin's exceptional UV protection and beginning to include it in their products.

    Take one ½ teaspoon/1 scoop (2g) daily, mixed well into 200ml water or your favourite juice or smoothie blend. Allow two weeks to build in your body before sun exposure. Absorbed well when taken with fats and dietary oils. Eg. Can be taken with fatty foods for maximum absorption. Think butter, milk, avocado and yoghurt.

    Continue use throughout the entire period of your daily sun exposure.

    Note: Long extended periods of intense sun exposure is not recommended.

This not only reduces the damage caused by sun exposure but supports overall skin health.

    Things to take note of when using this product and having sun exposure after the initial 2 week “loading” period are:


    • Many people may notice they can stay longer than usual in the sun before any reddening to their skin may occur.
    • Even if getting colour from too much sun exposure, people may notice it is not red or pink like it usually may be.
    • Even if getting colour from too much sun exposure, people may notice it is not as sore or painful as it usually is.
    • Even if getting colour from too much sun exposure, people may notice that they never experience any skin peeling like it used to from too much sun exposure in the days or weeks after.
    • Even if getting colour from too much such exposure, people may notice their skin may recover much faster than they're used to.
    • People may notice an improvement in skin conditions, such as pigmentation, vitiligo, eczema, psoriasis, melasma etc.
    • People may notice their skin is looking more plump, hydrated, softer, smoother and have a nice glow.

    Please note some ingredients cannot be sourced in Australia and the best, high-quality options come from overseas suppliers where they are grown due to the right climate and terrains.

    We are extremely picky when it comes to our ingredients and make it a priority to source the best. The current climate proves challenging when it comes to organic, natural ingredients; crops are affected seasonally due to droughts, flooding, extreme temperatures, or natural disasters and as a result we flex to leverage the best available supplier at the time of purchasing.

    Health is our number one priority – it’s why we exist. That’s why it’s important that we are constantly adapting with our suppliers to ensure we can continue to provide high-quality ingredients for you, ourselves, our family, and our team.
