Collection: Natural Day Creams

It's really important to nourish your skin with a diverse range of fatty acids with different chain lengths in order to give your skin the tools it needs to manufacture ceramides. Ceramides make up 50% of the natural oils that create a breathable seal to keep moisture locked in and pathogens out.

Some of these fatty acids are sun stable while others will oxidise in sunlight and cause free radical damage. Free radical damage contributes to premature ageing and can even lead to cancer.

At Lyonsleaf we use a lot of tropical oils which have evolved a myriad of antioxidants to combat the damaging UV rays of the tropics. The products rich in tropical oils are the ones we recommend using on skin exposed to sunlight.

Please be aware these products are not sunscreens and should never be used in place of sunscreens.
