Origins' Mega-Defense Oil Forms a Barrier Against Environmental Pollutants

Mega-Defense is a new line from Origins that was specifically created for the purpose of protecting skin against environmental pollutants.

While it is not always possible to avoid environmental stressors, especially while living in an urban setting, one can take steps to protect the skin against irritants. This product from Origins is branded as a 'Barrier-Boosting Essence Oil,' which is capable of forming a defensive layer between one's skin and the outside world, effectively neutralizing threats before they can create any lasting damage. One of the most potent ingredients in the product is the antioxidant and anti-irritant Lady’s Thistle Extract, which plays a part in reducing redness, sensitivity and visible signs of premature aging.

Also in Origins' Mega-Defense collection is an Advanced Daily UV Defender SPF 45, which also provides more than just protection from the sun.
