NIOD Survival 10 | 30ml

Avoid contact with clothing. The carotenoids in Survival can cause staining.

SPF 10 UVA and UVB protection with;

Purified Lutein
Isolated from non-GMO marigold flower, this exceptional carotenoid antioxidant counteracts adverse effects of blue light and increases visible dermal elasticity.

Yeast-Derived Superoxide Dismutase
Superoxide is the main reactive oxygen species in each cell and SOD is the body's natural way of out-competing the ongoing and very damaging effect of superoxide in cells. Arguably, SOD is the most important force against oxidation in the human body. Under direct UVB exposure, topical SOD was shown to reduce the look of additional inflammation by nearly 100%. Survival contains a form of SOD with extraordinary high activity level against the superoxide radical.

Dimethylmethoxy Chromanol
An extremely potent scavenger of reactive oxygen species and reactive nitrogen species, this superb technology is far more effective than resveratrol and ferulic acid in fighting radicals formed as a result of UV exposure, stress and pollution exposure. Additionally, this exceptional molecule prevents carbonylation of proteins.

Fractionated Melanin
While melanin within the skin protects from many forms of environmental assault, its potency is limited with respect to High Energy Visible (HEV) light. Survival includes a fractionated form of melanin that is tailored specifically to absorb light in the range of 400-500 nm wavelengths.

Pycnogenol®
A well-studied derivative of maritime pine, this highly-potent antioxidant supports a wide range of protective functions while minimising and reversing the appearance of photo damage.

Tomato Carotenoid Complex
Targets a broad range in the invisible light spectrum and reduces the appearance of redness associated with light exposure.

Prebiotic Complex of Gluco-Oligosaccharides and Inulin
Both friendly and unfriendly microorganisms reside on the skin. A number of factors disturb the balance of good microorganisms including abrupt changes in temperature, stress, pollution, malnutrition, use of household chemicals, use of certain cosmetics and UV exposure. This skin prebiotic complex supports friendly skin microorganisms without stimulating harmful ones.

Purified Deep-Sea Algae (Alteromonas Ferment)
Forms a physical shield against urban pollution and smog both of which contribute significantly to premature ageing.

Purified Mediterranean Brown Algae (Padina Pavonica)
Supports calcium bioavailability, essential to protective functions of healthy skin.

Purified Knotgrass
Fights visible adverse effects caused by infrared while helping to prevent and reduce the appearance of photo damage.

The UV Protection Mechanism in Survival 30, Survival 20 and Survival 10 is:

Silicone-Dispersed Zinc Oxide (ZnO) and Titanium Dioxide (TiO2)
Survival formulations avoid use of all chemical sun blocking agents that can lead to further oxidative stress. The formulations also avoid the use of any nanoparticles. Instead, a refined dispersion of micronised ZnO and TiO2 in flexible, high-volatility, non-comedogenic silicones allows the formulations to remain extremely lightweight by optimising the amount of the blocking agents. These advanced silicones are crucial to the effectiveness of Survival's protective systems given the relatively low amounts of ZnO and TiO2 used, allowing the formulations to be very low in viscosity such that the broader protection technologies can be delivered effectively (this low viscosity is the reason Survival is offered in a dropper format). Survival uses mainly ZnO for its protective effects (because in addition to reflecting/refracting light, ZnO is actually also able to absorb UV rays without creating oxygen radicals) and the supporting TiO2 that is used is only in rutile form (no anatase form of TiO2 is used at all since it's an aggressive producer of free radicals).

We have listed important points about UV protection and environmental protection at large below. While this information may appear extensive, if you wish to take the safe approach always and not worry about these details, we would suggest using Survival 30 whenever UV exposure is possible and Survival 0 at nighttime.
