Everyone's heard the refrain to keep skin protected from the sun with sunscreen, but 'Sundots' are a new product that makes controlling sun damage as easy as eating candy. The gummies provide full-body sun protection thanks to a compound found naturally in a certain species of fern.
The active ingredient in Sundots comes from polypodium leucotomos, a fern native to Central and South America. More than a dozen clinical studies indicate that ingesting the fern provides ample protection against sun damage, complementing sunscreen in one's regime. For many people, sunscreen isn't a part of their daily regime, so Sundots provide an easy and far more passive way to reduce the risk of skin cancer and fight skin aging.
Sundots are vegan, made with organic ingredients, non-GMO, and safe for daily consumption. The supplement is currently funding on Indiegogo.
