Natural Glow: the ultimate skin supplement
We all want naturally glowing skin, but sun exposure is one of the primary causes of accelerated skin ageing. Learn how Natural Glow supports your skin’s very own UV protection, helping you enjoy the sun while achieving a sun-kissed radiance from within.
When it comes to skin, the sun often receives a lot of bad press. Yet sunlight is essential for good health. Your skin requires it to make Vitamin D – a vital nutrient that helps maintain a healthy immune system, strong bones and muscles.
Sunlight also makes you feel happier by triggering the production of serotonin – otherwise known as the ‘happy hormone’, it helps you feel invigorated, joyful and calm. So it's no wonder that after a long, dark winter, a huge number of us suffer from Vitamin D deficiency and low moods – often referred to as SAD (Seasonal Affective Disorder).
Sun damage & skin ageing
That said, the relationship between our skin and UV light is complex, and sunscreen is a year-round skincare staple for good reason. A quality SPF is vital for broad-spectrum protection against:
- UVA rays, responsible for ageing, wrinkles, pigmentation and age spots
- and UVB radiation, which is responsible for burning and linked to skin cancer
So, our skin, body and mental health rely on healthy amounts of sun exposure, with experts suggesting that just 20 minutes outside is enough for us to get our daily dose.
What is melanin?
Melanin is a naturally occurring pigment found in the skin that causes your skin to tan, giving it that gorgeous holiday glow. But it also provides antioxidant protection against free radical damage caused by sunlight and other contributors, such as:
- Pollution
- Cigarettes
- Smoke
- Diet
- Medication
- and other lifestyle factors.
How to protect skin with Natural Glow
As a result, suncream is a non-negotiable for protecting your skin against sun damage and ageing. But there are other ways of increasing your skin’s natural sun protection – from the inside out.
Taking this holistic approach to sun protection is exactly what our Founder + Formulator, Henrietta Norton, set out to do when she created Natural Glow: a pioneering supplement that contains a breakthrough ingredient, Melaline®. Extensive research shows it can bolster the skin’s melanin stores and support pigmentation and tanning, helping to achieve healthy-looking radiance all year round.
Derived from responsibly sourced black sheep’s wool, naturally rich in melanin, this naturally pigmented keratin complex has been seen to encourage a 225% rise in skin pigmentation and a 106% increase in melanin*.
It works progressively over time, so we recommend starting Natural Glow around 10 days before your holiday or increased sun exposure. Not only does it enhance your skin's natural defence against sun damage, but it also supports collagen formation and a deeper, longer-lasting tan thanks to Copper, Biotin and Vitamins A, C and E.
