Could we take our sunscreen in pill form? In this chat with Dr. Noreen Galaria, board-certified dermatologist and founder of Inner Glow Vitamins, we dive into how antioxidants protect skin from sun damage.

Dr. Galaria highlights polypodium, a fern used by indigenous communities for centuries as internal sun protection. Its compounds prevent sunburn, slow photoaging, and support tumor suppression. Polypodium starts working within an hour and lasts 4-6 hours, providing extra protection alongside sunscreen.

Her company combines polypodium with other antioxidants like green tea and cacao to protect skin from immediate and long-term sun damage. With rising global temperatures, these natural compounds are key to enhancing sun safety.
