Overview The Sunguard Body Complex is a multi-faceted approach to keeping your body's anti aging program in tune with your face's age-reversal therapies. To avoid this gradually increasing contrast between the face and body as the years progress we must subject all of the body’s structures to anti aging and age reversing therapies. This formula was designed to do exactly that by restoring and maintaining youthful tightness and tone to body skin structures while boosting moisture content and guarding against free radical damage. This formula offers broad-spectrum photoprotection and a wide range of nutritive antioxidants that intercept UV-generated free radicals before they can damage cellular structures. Natural moisturizers in this product keep skin hydrated throughout the day without leaving an oily film. Because over time the skin of the body begins to sag and lose tone, this formula includes a wide range of key nutrients that specifically aid in restoring a tighter appearance to skin structures. This complex can be applied at any time and is especially suggested as a day therapy. Formula Mechanisms Broad Spectrum UPF Photoprotection Mineral Photoprotection Zinc Oxide and Titanium Dioxide are naturally occurring minerals that have been used for years in photoprotective formulas to reflect away both UVA and UVB radiation. In the past, though, products containing these compounds would go on very thick and pasty, making them cosmetically impractical for daily use. But thanks to advances in research and technology this no longer has to be the case. We precisely balance Titanium Dioxide with a microfine form of Zinc Oxide to create a broad-spectrum Universal Photoprotective Factor (UPF) that shields the skin from the full UVA, UVB, and UVC spectrums of light without any cosmetic drawbacks. Botanical Sun-Shielding – Photoprotective extracts of Seaberry, Red Raspberry, Rosemary, and mixed Carotenoids (sun-shielding plant pigments) are included to intercept UV exposure. Clinical studies have demonstrated that compounds in these botanical extracts have a particularly high affinity at mitigating damage induced by ultraviolet light. Antioxidant Vitamin Support For Body Skin Multi-Faceted Antioxidant Protection It’s not enough to simply shield the skin from damaging spectrums of light; there must also be an antioxidant network in place capable of protecting cellular structures directly. We have included in this formula Ascorbyl Palmitate (a gentle, lipophilic ester of Vitamin C), and Vitamin E Tocopherols/Tocotrienols (the full Vitamin E family). Clinical studies have shown that during UV exposure Vitamin E can regenerate Vitamin C after it has neutralized free radicals so that they can both mitigate significantly more damage during the day. Skin Regenerating – Regenerating Retinyl Palmitate in this formula is a retinol ester of Vitamin A that has both antioxidant and skin renewal properties. It stimulates faster cell division to replace damaged epidermal structures and continually brings younger cells to the surface. Moisturizing Healing For Body Skin Botanical Oil Skin Hydration This complex contains a powerful infusion of organic oils to form a lipophillic barrier against transdermal water loss. This barrier seals in hydration all day long and leaves a soft texture to the skin. To enhance skin moisture even further this complex also includes hydrophilic compounds that bind to water directly, holding several time their own weight in hydration. As these natural moisturizers hold on to water molecules they dramatically plump the skin, leaving a youthful, dewy finish that moisturizes for several hours. Capillary Repairing The Vitamin K in this formula aids in the repair of capillaries and blood vessels that in turn ensures healthier skin functioning due to efficient delivery of vital nutrients and oxygen. As an added bonus these reparative properties make this product effective in the treatment of bruises and dark undereye circles. Scientific Support See our publications on broad-spectrum photoprotection, antioxidant therapies, and optimal hydration for the skin for more information about how the active therapies in this product work. Directions For Use The Sunguard Body Complex can be used on virtually any area of the body. For most areas a quarter sized amount pumped onto the hand then gently massaged into the skin should be sufficient.
