Oral Sunscreens: Sun Protection from Within

Did you know oral sunscreens can protect your skin from the inside out? With antioxidants like Polypodium leucotomos and carotenoids, they help fight UV-induced damage, photoaging, and pigmentation. Meant to complement and not replace topical sunscreens, they’re ideal for sun-sensitive individuals seeking added defense and holistic skin protection in high-exposure environments. They are gaining much traction in India, with growing awareness, research, and demand paving the way for a promising future in holistic sun protection.

Oral sunscreens are dietary supplements (usually capsules or tablets) that claim to protect the skin from sun damage from the inside out. Unlike topical sunscreens (creams, lotions, gels), they work through antioxidants or plant extracts that reduce UV-induced damage, but they are not a full substitute for SPF creams.
