Vitamin A & Sun Protection – The FAQs

by

Vitamin A has a myriad of potent benefits when it comes to sun protection.

Firstly, vitamin A’s functions regulating, maintaining and repairing the skin are vital in offsetting UV damage.

“Vitamin A in cells supports healthy ageing. So just by its regular activity it reduces the symptoms of ageing in the skin”

states Dr Gaby.

Alongside this, retinyl palmitate – the storage form of vitamin A – has photoprotective properties. Dr Gaby explains that retinyl palmitate is a “chromophore”, meaning it absorbs photons of UV light before they penetrate deeper into skin. Dr Gaby notes that protection varies from person to person, depending on the amount of vitamin A already present. If a client has low levels of vitamin A, any vitamin A taken orally or added topically will be quickly converted into the active form (retinoic acid) to perform its functions in the skin. It is only when there is sufficient vitamin A supplied to the skin that additional vitamin A is stored as retinyl palmitate – where it provides its photoprotective effect.”

Additionally, once retinyl palmitate has performed its photon absorbing function it is deactivated and no longer performs other functions. One molecule cannot both protect and repair.

Maintaining optimum levels of vitamin A in the skin is, therefore, vital to ensure clients benefit from retinyl palmitate’s photoprotective properties while retaining vitamin A’s powerful skin health functions. The body’s stores of vitamin A should be replenished both orally and topically every day, and the younger this replenishment begins, the greater the chance of reducing effects of skin ageing.

A Leading Organic, French, Skincare Brand – Phyts

by

A lot more people are now more concerned about the ingredients that are found in their skin care products and swapping the harsh ingredients for plant-based ones. It is very clear why anyone would want to change their products when seeing a chemical-based ingredient on the packaging. The vitamins featured in plant-based skin care products are vital to maintaining the health of your skin, these active ingredients also work to restore and strengthen kin cells by combatting free radicals, whilst doing this they also support cell repair ad help decrease signs of ageing.

What if I told you there was a skincare company that is set on creating natural, organic skin and body care products to help not only your skin, but the environment around us? Well, there is, and it is called Phyt’s, this company will be celebrating its 49th anniversary in 2021. The brand started in 1972, when Jean Paul Llopart, a Naturopath and Biologist and Rosanne Verle, a Beautician brought their dreams to reality. From the onset, Phyt’s was born to be a skin and body care range made entirely with natural ingredients and without the use of preservatives.


Phyt’s is a pioneer in organic skin care and uses the highest quality, sustainable, raw materials. The brand is certified COSMEBIO by QUALITE FRANCE. These quality standards guarantee natural cosmetics which only contain ingredients from organic and sustainable farms, with complete traceability od all the cosmetic raw materials and their manufacturing process. The COSMEBIO label is designed to protect both the consumers wellbeing and to promote environmental sustainability at every stage of the manufacturing process.

Phyt’s products are defined as Bio-Active skincare. Bio-Active means that aside for the absence of chemicals and pollutants used in the raw ingredients such as: pesticides, chemical fertilisers, GMO, parabens, which over time can accumulate in the body.

The products contain a significant amount of active ingredients, which generate unbelievable results you can feel and see.

The need to innovate packaging came from the necessity to protect the formulations from bacterial contaminants and the external environment. Phyt’s introduced single use packaging in the form of disposable glass ampoules. In the 1990’s, Phyt’s turned to multi layered polyfoil tubes, a perfect environmentally friendly alternative to plastic, a waterproof material that protects all creams from external contaminants.
