British Skincare brand, Oskia, is set to launch an SPF Vitamin face cream which hydrates, protects and enhances the look of the skin, as well as reducing the appearance of fine lines.

The 100 per cent mineral, antioxidant and chemical-free SPF30 face cream stimulates the skin’s defence barrier to protect natural microflora, while nourishing the skin using pro-vitamin D3 and vitamin D.

The multi-purpose product also protects against cellular damage from free radicals and pollution, and is scheduled to launch on 22 May.

“We realised that a good sunscreen should be far more than just an SPF,” said Georgie Cleeve, founder of Oskia founder, “so our latest SPF Vitamin Face Cream not only offers sun protection but also includes nutrients for our overall health as well as skin health, along with ingredients to cool hydrate and refresh the skin.”

Oskia has included hydrating ingredients such as hyaluronic acid and encapsulated swiss glacier water – an ingredient which will also protect skin against heat stress.

In addition, the cream incorporates snow algae – an ingredient known for surviving harsh alpine conditions – to help protect against collagen degradation.
