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 3 out of 5 by from Sticky! I found this cream both thick and sticky..a bit heavy to use on holiday which is why I had ordered it

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Great SPF I bought this a few weeks ago, a little disappointed that the cream is coloured as I don’t wear make up and would prefer the SPF without the skin tone

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Protection even in the hottest of temperatures! I'm so glad I purchased this cream, it has been my saviour over the past few weeks as we experience the hottest temperatures on record! If I could make one suggestion it would be to offer a slightly darker tint and then, for me, it would be just perfect!

Rated 1 out of 5 by from Sadly found a Liz Earle product that I don’t like I bought this very recently and used it earlier this week. I applied as instructed early in morning and it was greasy and didn’t seem to dry out at all. It felt heavy and it smeared over my glasses. I may use on my body but definitely won’t be applying to my face.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Excellent product Bought this for my daughter who uses it regularly and says it also works well as an under makeup primer.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Light cream with slight tint At last a protective cream I can use every day. I’ve tried various sun lotions, but they are too heavy and icky, so I’ve been going without any sun protection on my face. This cream is light and gives my skin a subtle glow. A little goes a long way, so use sparingly after toning and moisturising. I like that it gives protection against pollution too.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great sunscreen I found this really easy to appy and spreads evenly. I have mild rosacea of my face, and have to use sun screen daily. Lots of products irritate or feel heavy and greasy on my skin but this doesn't. Will continue to use this, glad that I found this cream.

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

Is the environmental defence cream slightly tinted. I hoped it would give a little coverage to be able to leave off foundation. 

Asked by: Deb58
Hi, thanks for getting in touch. Suitable for all skin types and tones, our Environmental Defence Cream has been developed with a naturally derived tinted pigment that blends well with all skin tones in order to dispel any pale cast on skin. The also makes a great primer for makeup. I hope this information helps however, should you require any further assistance with this, please contact our Customer Centre by emailing naturallyactive@lizearel.com - The Liz Earle Beauty Co. Team
