Cleanse & Polish The Results

Blueberry Seed Oil

BLUEBERRY SEED OIL
(Vaccinium myrtillus)

High in potent antioxidants, we use blueberry seed oil in our Environmental Defence Cream SPF 25, as it helps the cream work as a natural shield against blue light. Thanks to its high fatty acid composition, it also supports skin’s natural moisture barrier, resulting in hydrated and nourished skin. Sustainably sourced and produced; we extract this ingredient from 100% upcycled blueberries – a waste product of the juice production industry.

Lingonberry Seed Oil

LINGONBERRY SEED OIL
(Vaccinium vitis-idaea)

Known to be a powerful antioxidant with a reputation as a health-promoting superfruit, we use lingonberry seed oil in our Environmental Defence Cream SPF 25, as it helps the cream work as a natural shield against blue light. This botanical is also known for its conditioning properties and for helping boost skin’s natural moisture barrier. We source these wild self-sustainable berries from Finland and Sweden.

Shea Butter

SHEA BUTTER
(Butyrospermum parkii)

Renowned for its excellent emollient properties and ability to help improve the barrier function of the skin, we source our shea butter from West Africa, where the pulp of the fruit is removed to reveal the kernel, which is boiled and dried in the sun before being shelled for pressing.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Darker tint please I have been using it for 2 weeks. I find it makes me look pale. The tint needs to be darker.

Rated 2 out of 5 by from Environmental defence cream I’ve been using a variety of Liz Earle products for many many years and love them all. However there is something in this product that has given me an allergic reaction on my skin. I’ve never had this before with any other product. No idea what the offending ingredient could be.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Everyday protection I bought this product about a month ago after having very much enjoyed a facial at a Liz Earle counter. It is slightly coloured and easy to apply. Prone to Rosacea, using this product gives me confidence that my skin is protected when out and about.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Perfect for my very sensitive skin. I have incredibly sensitive skin and can only use mineral spf. This one is perfect - im not allergic to it and it is tinted so unlike the other mineral sunblocks I have used - i don't get the horrid white face look. Please can you make it in a spf 50 too.

Rated 1 out of 5 by from Poor from Liz Earle Very disappointed with this. It does not rub in well and is only SPF25 and has to be applied separately . Don't like the way my skin looks A waste of money

Rated 5 out of 5 by from A healthy looking skin! I’ve been using this product for quite some time now. Environmental Defence gives my skin all the protection it needs including protection from the sun all year round.

Why does your suncream contain Titanium Dioxide, if it is banned all over European countries in food,causing lung cancers in animals and humans ?.

Asked by: Great Toner
I don't think Liz Earle really answered the question - I would also like to know why is it used when it's banned in Europe and is carcinogenic?

Do you still need a primer before applying make up, or is this sufficient?

Asked by: Casonator
Hi, thanks for getting in touch. Our easily absorbed fluid contains SPF25 that protects your skin against UV, blue light and pollution without harming the planet, suitable for all skin types and tones through a mineral formulation. This primes and protects for visibly healthy-looking skin. You may find that you don't need to use a primer alongside this however, should you wish to continue using a primer, this should be applied before our Environmental Defence Cream SPF25. We hope this information helps however, should you require more bespoke skincare advice or, product recommendations, we would ask you to kindly contact our Customer Care Team by calling 01983 813913 or, email naturallyactive@lilzearle.com - The Customer Care Centre Team

Hi, is this suitable for young skin, 12 years? I'm looking for an SPF product for my daughter, many thanks.

Asked by: Lulu9
Hi, thanks for getting in touch. Whilst all our formulations are made as mild and gentle as possible, when choosing an SPF for someone of this age group, we would recommend opting for one which has been specifically formulated for those with younger skin. We hope this helps - The Customer Care Centre

Why does this product( the environmental defence cream) need moisturiser on first ? I just want to put moisturiser on that has SPF in it - every other company seems to manage this. 

Asked by: Micah
Hi, thanks for getting in touch. As our moisturisers can be used both morning and evening, we have chosen not to include SPF as this is not required in the evening. We would recommend applying this after your moisturiser to ensure your skin is fully mosturised so the product melts nicely into the skin. We hope this information helps - The Customer Care Centre Team

 Does this need makeup removal?

Asked by: Gloria Qin
Hi, thanks for getting in touch. You shouldn't need to use a separate makeup remover to remove our Environmental Defence Cream, this should be easily removed, in the evening with your usual cleanser. We hope this information helps - The Liz Earle Beauty Co. Team
