🛡️ Oral photoprotective ingredients with scientific evidence :
• Polypodium leucotomos extract

⚠️ What oral sun protection DOES:
✅ Helps reduce UV-induced oxidative stress
✅ Supports your skin’s natural defense against sun damage
✅ May reduce pigmentation, redness, and photoaging in some individuals
✅ Can be a useful adjunct in people with melasma, photosensitive disorders, or high UV exposure
🚫 What it DOES NOT do:
❌ It does not block UV rays like sunscreen.
❌ It does not replace SPF.
❌ It does not prevent sunburn on its own.
💊 Think of oral photoprotection as strengthening your skin from within, while sunscreen creates the primary protective shield on the outside. For the best protection, you need both—when indicated.
