When it comes to skincare, daily SPF all year round is non-negotiable, even in the depths of winter. But did you know that not all sunscreens are created equal? Enter Celligent, an innovative ingredient derived from plant stem cells that not only shields your skin from harmful UV rays but also helps repair and rejuvenate it — an essential benefit during the colder winter months. Adding Celligent in SPF products is a game-changer for anyone serious about protecting their skin and maintaining a healthy glow.

In winter, our skin faces a different kind of stress. Cold air, biting winds, and indoor heating can strip away natural moisture, leaving the skin dry, tight, and more vulnerable to irritation. Combine that with UV exposure (yes, it still reaches us through clouds and windows) and you’ve got a recipe for compromised skin health. That’s why Celligent-enriched SPF formulas are a winter skincare essential — protecting your skin from both environmental aggressors and long-term damage while maintaining a radiant glow.

What is Celligent?

Celligent is a naturally derived stem cell extract, most commonly sourced from plants like the Swiss apple or other regenerative plants. Unlike traditional ingredients that only offer surface-level protection, Celligent works on a cellular level to help your skin fight free radicals, repair DNA damage, and support overall skin health — an essential for the colder winter months when your skin barrier is more compromised.

Key benefits include:
• Boosting skin hydration and elasticity, and supporting the skin barrier overall.
• Enhancing the skin’s natural ability to recover from sun exposure.

How Celligent Works in SPF Products

While SPF protects your skin by blocking or absorbing UV rays, it doesn’t prevent oxidative stress caused by sun exposure. This is where Celligent comes in. By acting as a potent antioxidant, Celligent neutralises free radicals generated by UV rays and helps repair cellular damage. During the winter, when your skin is under stress, ingredients that can support your skin barrier and provide a shield of protection are always welcome!
