NIOD Survival 10 (SPF10) offers intense anti-oxidant protection to combat premature aging and promote healthy skin. It offers a low level of UV protection, ideal for darker skins.
Why you need it:
NIOD Survival 10 (SPF10, PA++) has a lightweight formula that provides intense protection from the damaging effects of environmental and lifestyle-related assaults. Free radical activity has been linked to premature ageing, and can be caused by anything from exposure to pollution, stress or exercise.
NIOD's Survival range draws on the latest research and technological advances to provide the most comprehensive skin defence system to date. It contains four networked defence systems to combat environmental and internal stresses, targeting free radicals, glycation (sugar-induced aging), pollution, smog, stress, infrared and blue light.
NIOD Survival 10 has been specially developed for darker skins that are less at risk of burning but still need protection from UVA and UVB rays. Use it when the UV index is low (less than 2).
NIOD Survival 10 uses Zinc Oxide and Titanium Dioxide mineral sunscreens. Zinc Oxide is especially effective as it can actually absorb UV rays as well as reflecting them away from skin. The sunscreen particles are suspended in non-comedogenic silicones to offer lightweight UV protection in a very fluid, spreadable formula that doesn't block pores or harm the skin in any way. Survival products are free from nanoparticles and don't cause any oxidative stress.
Like other products in the Survival range, NIOD Survival 1O offers powerful protection from the damaging effects of modern life. Superoxide Dismutase (derived from Yeast) supplements the body's own natural anti-oxidant defences, combating the very damaging effects of superoxides in cells. It is perhaps the most important anti-oxidant force in the human body. Applied to the skin, Superoxide Dismutase has been shown to reduce the additional inflammation caused by UVB rays by nearly 100%.
Dimethylmethoxy Chromanol is another highly effective anti-oxidant, targeting free radicals caused by UV exposure, stress and pollution. Fractionated Melanin is especially potent in protecting from High-Energy Visible light (also known as blue light), absorbing light in the range of 400-500 nm wavelengths. A range of Prebiotics and natural Botanical Extracts support healthy skin functions and offer additional anti-oxidant protections, helping to reduce redness while reducing the appearance photo-damage, combating premature aging and increasing skin's elasticity.
How to use:
Apply generously to the face before UV exposure. For continuous protection, reapply every 2 hours and after intense perspiration, towel-drying, swimming or bathing.
NIOD Survival 10 offers a low level of protection agains UV rays and is designed for darker skin tones that rarely or never burn (skin types V and VI on the Fitzpatrick scale) and for use when the UV index is low (under 2). For lighter skin tones or days with a higher UV index, a formula offering minimum SPF20 is recommended.
