Sun Care: Ultraceuticals Essentials
As summer approaches, you may find that sun protection has come more to the forefront of your mind. Though we should be wearing sunscreen daily and often do through our makeup, summertime often requires us to work a bit harder to protect our skin.
Summer is a great time to take stock of your cabinets and reevaluate your sun care habits! Recently, Neroli added Ultraceuticals to our retail shelves.
This skin care line is one of Australia’s leading cosmeceutical brands and we are one of the first places in the United States to offer this results driven brand. Ultraceuticals is born of some of the harshest sun conditions in the world. I’d like to highlight a few of their products that will really help protect your skin from sun damage.
Ultra Protective Daily Mineral Defense
Proper sun protection is your first defense against premature aging and hyperpigmentation. Using a broad spectrum sunscreen, such as this, will help protect your skin from both UVA and UVB rays. This SPF contains no nanoparticles, parabens, or synthetic fragrances.
The Ultra Protective Mineral Defense is lightweight and fast absorbing delivering a vital blend of antioxidants and moisturizing ingredients that support the skin’s lipid shield.
Ingredients include:
- Shea Butter
- Sodium Hyaluronate
- Panthenol (Vitamin B5)
- Niacinamide (Vitamin B3)
- Tocopheral (Vitamin E)
- Silica
Active Ingredients include:
- Butyl Methoxydibenzoylmethane
- Phenylbenzimidazole Sulfonic Acid
- Octocrylene
- Bemotrizinol
- Octyl Methoxycinnaamate
Ultra Protective Antioxidant Complex
Another great product to help protect your skin during the day, is the Ultra Protective Antioxidant Complex. This product is great for all skin types to guard against non UV environmental stress.
The Ultra Protective Antioxidant Complex has powerhouse Antioxidants in it including Milk Thistle Extract, Ferulic Acid, Vitamin C, Vitamin E, and Caffeine. This Complex should go on in the morning directly before applying SPF. Together these products will keep your skin guarded from both UV and free radical damage.

Face and Body Recovery Cream
Finally, the third Ultraceuticals product I’d like to highlight, is the Face and Body Recovery Cream. This cream helps to moisturize the skin following exposure to the sun and environmental stressors.
It contains powerful blends of Antioxidants including:
- Vitamin E Acetate
- Vitamin E Phosphate
- Caffeine
- Ferrulic Acid
- Soy DNA Complex
- Tasmanian Berry Extract
The Face and Body Recovery Cream also has great hydrating and conditioning ingredients including:
- Shea Butter
- Allantoin
- Sodium Hyaluronate
- Urea
Hopefully, you have the opportunity to experience all of these amazing Ultraceutical products. Take care and enjoy the rising temperatures!
