Sunburn cream is no longer needed: take a pill!
The Israeli company LycoRed has developed a carotenoid dietary supplement designed to protect the skin from sunburn. The creation of this drug is a significant step in the promotion of the developing direction of cosmeceutics, called "beauty from the inside".
The drug is a combination of carotenoids (precursors of vitamin A – lycopene, phytoene, phytofluene) and vitamin E, which protect the skin from the damaging effects of ultraviolet radiation. It can be taken all year round as a dietary supplement, as well as in the form of fortified foods or beverages.
Of course, in certain conditions, it is not worth neglecting sunscreens, but daily use of a carotenoid drink or capsules with the drug will provide a certain level of protection from ultraviolet radiation in the A and B spectrum zones, even in those months of the year when the use of sunscreens is unnecessary.
