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
(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
(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.

Good primer with spf25
My second purchase of this primer, my current favourite & it’s got SPF25. It’s easy to use just blend until it’s absorbed into the skin. It’s a good base for foundation, even though I have visible pours on my nose & chin it seems to prevent my foundation sitting in my pours. I’ve used some premium brand primers but find this has been the best for my skin & foundation application. It’s a very light tint & i find I still need foundation even though I am quite fair skinned & apply my foundation lightly.

Nice product - but the smell is awful.
I purchased this product as I like to go bare faced to give my face a rest from full make up, and just wanted a little something extra. The product is lovely and massages well in to the skin. But I can't get past the fragrance of it. It's supposed to be fragrance free, but there is definitely a musty odour to it. Luckily it wears off after a while. But it is unpleasant. Because of this, I can only give it a 3⭐️

Great product
I be used this a few times since I bought it. It goes on nicely over my usual Liz Earle moisturiser. It doesn’t give a lot of coverage but it does give a nice glow and seems to even out my skin fairly well. Ive tried building coverage but then it pills. Saying that, I’m very happy with the product.

An Essential Product
I have used this product for several weeks now and so pleased it is a good defence cream
which blends into my skin colour. After cleansing, toning and moisturising I apply Skin Defence Cream. A perfect product for the Summer and all through the year.

Heavy texture
I'm new to the liz earle range and have loved every product so far and thought I'd try the tinted moisturiser as I was looking for sun/pollution protection. The colour is nice even on pale skin like mine but the texture is a bit too heavy/clumpy for my liking. I'll stick to just regular moisturiser in the future as its just not my cup of tea.

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

I have been desperate for something with an Spf and so was very excited when this came out even though it's very expensive for daily use but how can I prevent it forming rolls when I use foundation after?
Hello, thank you for getting in touch and for your feedback. Here are a few tips that might help make your mineral formula work for you:
1. Make sure you’re applying Environmental Defence Cream after your moisturiser – this will ensure you are protecting your skin’s natural barrier. Allowing the cream to sink in for at least 30 seconds – 1 minute can also make a big difference to how the formula sits on your skin before you apply your foundation.
2. You may find you get a better finish by applying Environmental Defence Cream to your face section by section. Dot generously onto the forehead, nose, cheeks and neck before gently blending with your fingertips one section at a time, ensuring you’re using enough cream to fully protect your skin. If you prefer an all-over approach that’s also okay – whatever works best for you!
3. Be gentle with your application. As our formula is rich in physical UV filters in powder form, over rubbing can cause a pilling effect where the minerals separate and accumulate on your skin. This can make it harder for them to blend in , especially when you’re using the defence cream before make up.
4. Check how much you’re applying – too much can lead to over rubbing and the above pilling effect may occur. We recommend using a grape sized amount to start and then determining if you need a little more or less depending on your particular skin type.
We do hope this information helps. Quality and service are at the heart of everything we do, so please do not hesitate to contact our customer centre on 01983 813913 if you require any further assistance. - Liz Earle Beauty Co.

Does the Environmental Defence Cream SPF25 provide protection equivalent to regular SPF25 sunscreen - or is it necessary to wear sunscreen as well?
Hello, thank you for getting in touch. Our Environmental defence cream is designed to be perfect for all year round protection. It is a 3-in-1 protection designed for your day to day protection needs as 90% of sun exposure happens in daily life- this include cloud cover- not just sunny days. We recommend reapplying Environmental Defence Cream at least once during a regular day, similar to how you may top up your make up at lunchtime. However on hotter days, or when you know your skin will be more exposed, we recommend reapplying more often while also wearing a wide brim hat. Remember, our formula is designed to protect skin from a range of everyday environmental aggressors, such as UV rays, blue light and pollution, but should not be used to protect skin while sunbathing.
If you were intentionally exposing yourself in an environment much stronger than the UK sun, we would always advise a higher SPF specifically designed for Sun protection as opposed to an all round protection product. I do hope this information helps. – Liz Earle Beauty Co.
