Designed for nighttime use by all skin tones. Offers no UV Protection.
- NIOD's Survival is a range of two networked protection systems with technologies that help support healthy skin defenses against environmental and lifestyle-related aggressors. Despite their lightweight texture, these formulations offer a broad selection of advanced technologies to support the skin against the effects of oxygen radicals and other aggressors like pollution, smog, and stress.
- In addition to these protection systems, Survival 30 offers mineral-based UVB and UVA protection of SPF30 (PA+++). Survival 0 does not offer UV protection and is intended for evening/nighttime use. Survival 0 can also be used during the day alongside other sun protection formulations that may not offer environmental protection beyond UV (Note: Survival 30 already offers comprehensive networked protection and do not need the addition of Survival 0 during daytime).
- Survival is not a tinted formulation. The slight tinted appearance is derived from the active technologies. This colouring should not be mistaken for pigmented offerings on the market that use makeup pigments to reduce the whitening effect of mineral UV filters.
The technologies shared in the survival range are:
- Yeast-Derived Superoxide Dismutase SOD is one of the skin’s primary oxyradical fighting mechanisms. This particular form of SOD has a high activity level against topically formed superoxide radicals.
- Dimethylmethoxy Chromanol This superb technology uses an extremely potent scavenger of free radicals, aiming to target environmental stressors which result from stress and pollution exposure.
- Fractionated Melanin While melanin within the skin protects from many forms of environmental assault, its potency is limited with respect to High Energy Visible (HEV) light. Survival includes a fractionated form of melanin that is tailored specifically to absorb light in the range of 400-500 nm wavelengths.
- Prebiotic Complex of Gluco-Oligosaccharides and Inulin Both friendly and unfriendly microorganisms reside on the skin. A number of factors can disturb the balance of good microorganisms including abrupt changes in temperature, stress, pollution, malnutrition, use of household chemicals, use of certain cosmetics, and UV exposure. This skin prebiotic complex supports friendly skin microorganisms
- Purified Deep-Sea Algae (Alteromonas Ferment) Aims to provide support against urban pollution and smog, both of which can contribute to premature aging.
- Purified Mediterranean Brown Algae (Padina Pavonica) A purified extract of Padina, a brown algae originating from the Mediterranean Sea. This ingredient helps to support calcium bioavailability within the epidermis, which is essential to protective functions of healthy skin.
- Purified Knotgrass A flavonoid rich extract helps to reduce the appearance of signs of aging, such as wrinkles and skin texture.
