ASPA-Fernblock® provides all the dermatologically proven benefits of Fernblock® Technology, and more:

ASPA-Fernblock® is a revolutionary bioactive skin innovation. It utilises the power of Aspalathus linearis (Rooibos) extract, a plant native to South Africa. Rooibos is rich in flavonoids and widely recognised for its potent antioxidant and skin-protective properties, therefore enhancing photoprotection and further strengthening the skin’s defences while neutralising harmful free radicals.
Its unique OptiD Effect also supports the skin’s natural ability to optimise Vitamin D synthesis, allowing the skin to benefit from essential sun-derived nutrients while maintaining superior protection.
