Scientific innovation
Built on decades of dermatological research, we specialise in developing innovative, patented technologies, harnessing the power of nature and translating it into evidence-based skincare innovations.
Fernblock® Technology
Developed through research by Cantabria Labs and Dr Fitzpatrick's team at Harvard Medical School, Fernblock® Technology was created to provide comprehensive protection against the damaging effects of the sun. Derived from the tropical fern Polypodium leucotomos, Fernblock delivers powerful antioxidant activity to help prevent and repair skin damage caused by UVA, UVB, Visible Light and Infrared A.
ASPA-Fernblock®
ASPA-Fernblock® is a patented, plant-derived technology developed by Cantabria Labs that combines Fernblock® (Polypodium leucotomos) with ASPA (Aspalathus linearis). This advanced bioactive complex provides powerful antioxidant activity and enhanced full-spectrum protection against UVA, UVB, visible light and infrared-A radiation, while supporting the skin's natural repair mechanisms and optimising vitamin D function to help keep skin healthy, resilient and protected.
RETINDUO® Technology
An exclusive dual-retinoid system that combines pure retinol in microsponges with AOX Tech-encapsulated retinal, supported by a targeted natural booster complex to optimise bioavailability, enhance retinoid stability and deliver powerful yet controlled skin renewal enhancing stability and skin comfort.
RETINSPHERE® Technology
RETINSPHERE® combines two stable, effective retinoids with excellent tolerability - hydroxypinacolone retinoate and stabilised, encapsulated retinol - to deliver both immediate and sustained release, maximising efficacy while minimising irritation.
EDAFENCE® Technology
EDAFENCE® Technology is unique anti-pollution technology, derived from the Antarctic grass, Deschampsia antarctica, that is clinically proven to reduce free radical damage and prevent the cascade of damage caused by pollution such as oxidising agents, cigarette smoke, heavy metals and urban pollutants.
AOX-TECH
AOX-TECH is an advanced delivery technology that uses multilamellar nanovesicles to protect, transport and release active ingredients within the skin. It helps support improved penetration, stability and tolerability, allowing formulations to work effectively while maintaining comfort. By delivering active ingredients through multiple layers of the skin, AOX-TECH can enhance their action and effectiveness by up to five times.
