A light, sun-activated serum with provitamin D to increase the skin's vitamin D levels when spending less time in the sun.

Our skin is the natural factory for vitamin D, and it needs healthy levels for several important functions. These include:

Control of cell division: vitamin D controls cell division in the layers of our epidermis and is therefore very important for maintaining the thickness of our skin. Healthy vitamin D levels mean a plumper epidermis with a lower risk of hyperkeratinization (which would lead to rough skin and congestion).

Maintaining barrier function: Vitamin D helps to maintain several elements of the skin barrier. With healthy vitamin D levels and the resulting good barrier function, the skin loses less water (resulting in hydrated skin) and better protects us from external stressors (reducing sensitivity and inflammation).

Supporting a healthy microbiome: Vitamin D enables our skin to produce more antimicrobial peptides (AMPs). AMPs are important substances that keep harmful microbes at bay while respecting our beneficial skin microbes. This allows the skin to cultivate a healthier microbiome, which is the foundation for our overall skin health.

Reducing inflammation: Chronic inflammation in the skin is one of the main causes of premature skin aging. Vitamin D plays a very important role in regulating our skin's immune system. With healthy vitamin D levels, our immune responses can be controlled and inflammation curbed, slowing down the ageing process and improving skin health.

Vitamin D also has other important benefits, including an anti-cancer effect.
