Meet your sunscreen's new best friend!

The Skin Real

Sun protection is so much more than just sunscreen. Seeking shade, wearing wide-brimmed hats, avoiding those peak UV hours, and wearing sun-protective clothing are all great ways to safeguard our skin. But here's something you might not know—there’s a powerful fern extract that can help protect your skin when you’re exposed to the sun!

Polypodium leucotomos is a tropical fern native to Central and South America, commonly used in skincare and health supplements due to its antioxidant and photoprotective properties!

Be sure to listen to this week's podcast featuring Dr. Noreen Galaria as she discusses the benefits of polypodium leucotomos, its safety for children and during pregnancy, and whether anyone can take it!

Key Takeaways:

- Inner Glow supplements contain polypodium, a natural plant extract that provides sun protection and helps prevent sunburn, photoaging, and skin cancer.

- Inner Glow supplements are safe for children over the age of three and are vegan, sugar-free, kosher, and halal.

- When choosing supplements, it is important to look for products made in the USA, non-GMO, and third-party verified. Supplement testing is crucial to ensure that the ingredients in the product match the claims made on the packaging.
