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.

A lovely surprise!
I received this as an added gift in a recent order and will certainly be buying it in future. I don't wear face make-up because, although I would like to have something that very lightly covers the various blemishes on my face, I've always disliked the rather pasty feel and texture of make-up (and that includes, sadly, the Liz Earle Sheer Skin Tint, although it's better than most.) I decided, without much hope, to give this Defence cream a try because of its gentle tint; and I'm very pleasantly surprised! It does a great job on the look of my skin and I don't notice it's there! Thank you, Liz Earle!

Unpleasant scent!
I have been an avid user of Liz Earle products for over 20 years and am very pleased with all their products. However, I bought the Defence Cream about a month ago and have used it just twice; the scent is so unpleasant and rather off-putting that I won't be using it again. Also, it barely added any tint to my skin, so still needed a light foundation. Very disappointing Liz Earle!

Good but not really working for my skin type
I love the idea of this cream and it is a great product for most everyone else but me. I have overactive sebum production. I really need some kind of mattifying or balancing in this product to work better for me. Its such a shame as i wanted to love it more.

Liz Earle Environmental Defence Cream Mineral SPF
I bought this item quite recently for the first time. I really like using it as it does what it says on the tube! It's great under makeup as well as just on top of a moisturiser, as a little goes a long way. Will definitely be purchasing this again.

Lovely base for makeup
I've used environmental defense cream for a couple of years and wouldn't be without it. As well as feeling protected all year round this is the perfect base and I only need one pump of my foundation focused on the centre of my face for a natural day time look.
I apply a small amount after my moisturiser has settled, smoothing it gently but quickly then apply foundation straight after so it blends nicely.

Allergic reaction to the cream
I did initially love the cream, however after 2 days my face was red and I developed lumps (blisters) on my skin, and was reacting to the product. I have used Liz Earle for years, from body cream to face cream and never had such a reaction.
Returning unfortunately.

My skin glows when I wear this!
Love this product whether I'm wearing it just on top of my moisturiser or under my foundation. I've been told my skin looks like it glows! It lasts all day and doesn't become greasy as the day goes on. This will be my second purchase of this product.

Great protection
Due to a history of skin cancer, I need to protect my face even more. Sunscreen under foundation isnt comfortable but this is really lovely. A tint when used alone, but great under foundation for extra protection.

Lovely tinted moisturiser
I bought this without realising it is tinted, but having tried it I am very hapoy with the result. It is light enough to wear under make-up but I find I can wear it on its own, on days when I am not going far. It gives my skin a lovely glow, hides the dark circles and feels good on my skin.

Surprisingly good
This is perfect for my needs. It gives my face a lovely matte affect and works perfectly as a light base under my makeup. It does have an odd smell to it, but it isn’t noticeable after a couple minutes. It is nice not to have to worry about my face being exposed to too much sun whilst wearing this.

Different!
I bought this for the first time and really like it. I don’t know if it’s my imagination though, but creams etc that come in tubes never seem to last as long as they do in a pot, even though they are the same volume! The cream itself is smooth and leaves a lovely finish on the skin. It goes without saying really, all your products are excellent which why I’ve been using them for so many years!

Wow, this was an impulse buy
I honestly didn't expect a tinted moisturizer tobwoke with my viitigilo which looks like a patch work quilt. Very surprised how amazing it is. I haven't tried it for defence yet, but plan to use it in India where the pollution is horrendous

Great SPF cream
I love this Environmental Defense Cream. I use it every day, it absorbs into the skin and leaves a nice glow. The only negative is I would like a higher SPF for summer.

Love this!
Been using this for about a month now and I love it. I wear it on the days I am working in the office and definitely feel its protecting my skin against pollution and the awful air con in work. I don't wear make-up and I apply 10 mins after moisturiser and it gives a lovely even look to my skin. Was a bit wary when I saw the tint but it doesn't show after application. Will definitely buy again.

Fantastic product
I have fair sensitive skin prone to prickly heat and have struggled to find a good facial sunscreen . This product was lovely to wear. It didn’t feel greasy or cause a breakout, the tint was subtle and it was very effective and long lasting. I have already ordered another one .

Not sure
I wanted an SPF moisturiser, I am not sure if I like it, you need to use enough to feel like you had moisturiser on, but then to much and it comes off on my glassses.

Great defence mineral cream SPF 25
Excellent SPF 25 cream for non white skin tones. Blends in well to natural skin colour, giving it a dewy glow. Usually mix it with Superskin moisturizer. Highly recommend it.

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.

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.
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.
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

Is it possible to buy small samples of this product to try before I commit to the larger size?
Hi there, thanks for getting in touch.

We do hope this helps! - The Liz Earle Beauty Co. Team
