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.

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.

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.

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.

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

A great cream for all year round protection.
I have bought this cream several times now. It's a great product if like me you don't use foundation anymore. It provides just enough coverage to give my skin a bit of colour and it contains SPF 25. I use it all year round. I have sensitive skin and have never had any stinging or rash. Please don't change this product or worse still stop making it.

Love that it’s a mineral spf
Like this product as it is a mineral spf. Goes on well and is slightly tinted. Can only wear it in the winter months as the spf is not high enough to wear in the summer months etc. Please could you consider doing a higher mineral spf.

Horrid application and finish
Unfortunately I have to say that this is the worst product I’ve tried from Liz Earle.
The application is horrible as it goes all clumpy when you first start to rub it in, not like anything else I’ve ever put on my face. It does eventually even out but then for the rest of the day my skin felt like it has a layer of grease over it.
The one star is because the slight tint looked good on my light coloured skin.

Not very good
I tried this over superskin moisturiser and it just seems to spread unevenly on my skin , it’s really weird . I am wondering if it is faulty . I’ve tried lots of spfs over the years and this isn’t good . It looks patchy and doesn’t absorb very well at all . My skin doesn’t like it . I’ve wasted my money buying this . It’s a shame because I enjoy using all my other Liz Earle products.

Great Cream
I have been using this product since it's early days. I have to agree with a lot of the negative remarks on previous reviews but I found workarounds. Firstly I use it after cleansing toning and applying one of the lighter Liz Earle moisturisers. I make sure I don't over apply otherwise it won't rub in nicely with too thick a layer. The environmental defence cream then gives a good natural look to my skin. I wouldn't use a foundation over it as again it would be too heavy. This on it's own is fine for me in my seventies as less is more and a lighter look much bette for most days of going out walking or shopping. However, I still have some Liz Earle sheer tint which I use for proper going out. That has an SP factor in, however will need to look for another brand of foundation soon as nearly running out of that and Liz Earle no longer offer it, which is a shame. Overall at the end of the summer, as now I have a healthy glow and don't sunbathe.

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.

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

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.
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

Is this product pregnancy safe?
Hi, thanks for getting in touch.
We can confirm that all our products have been safety assessed to ensure they are safe for intended use, which includes use during pregnancy – however, if you have any specific questions or concerns, please speak to your GP or midwife.
We hope this information helps - The Liz Earle Customer Care Centre Team

Do you have any plans to have a similar product with a higher sun factor like a spf 50?
Yes

Is it vegan?
I would assume all Liz Earle’s produce is vegan.

Does this need makeup removal?
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.
