    Polypodium Leuctomos

    A tropical fern rich in antioxidants, helps protect skin from sun damage, reduce inflammation, slow premature aging, and support healthy DNA function under UV exposure.

    Clinical Study

    A controlled human study found that oral PLE reduced UV-induced skin damage—showing less redness, fewer sunburn cells, reduced DNA damage, and lower mast-cell infiltration.

    Astaxanthin

    A potent red antioxidant that builds natural UV protection, supports skin, eye, and brain health, and helps reduce sun damage, inflammation, and signs of aging from within.

    Clinical Study

    Human trials show astaxanthin (oral) can improve markers of UV resistance, most notably increasing the minimal erythema dose (MED) and reducing UV-induced skin moisture loss and some subjective measures of skin conditions.

    Epigallocatechin Gallate

    EGCG, the active compound in Green Tea Extract, protects against UV damage, sunburn, and aging—enhancing skin elasticity, hydration, and smoothing wrinkles.

    Clinical Study

    A meta-analysis found that oral green tea catechins (EGCG) significantly increased minimal erythema dose (MED), meaning skin needed more UV to redden—showing enhanced UV protection.

    Clinical Study

    A key open-label intervention study involving 29 healthy volunteers (ages 19-plus, skin types I–III) found that consuming freeze-dried grape powder—equivalent to about 2¼ cups of grapes per day—for 14 days significantly increased their minimal erythema dose (MED), meaning their skin could tolerate more UV before reddening.

    The Science of Building Internal Sun Protection

    1

    Week 1

    Getting Started

    Your body begins absorbing protective antioxidants. Early activity helps fight oxidative stress, though sunburn resistance hasn’t increased yet.

    Week 2

    Building Protection

    Sun Shield compounds start storing in the skin. Redness from short sun exposure is less noticeable, and antioxidant levels continue to rise.

    Week 3

    Stronger Tolerance

    Skin begins to tolerate longer sun exposure compared to no protection. Inflammation is reduced, collagen is safeguarded, and repair processes are supported.

    Week 4

    Noticeable Defence

    Clearer changes become visible: skin looks more hydrated, plumper, less red, and more resilient. Protection against moderate sun exposure is measurable, and a subtle natural tan may appear from the carotenoids in astaxanthin.

    Week 5

    Noticeable Defence

    Pigmentation issues such as melasma and uneven tone begin to fade. Skin recovers faster after long days in the sun, with less redness, pain, and a significant decrease in the chance of peeling.

    Long-Term Benefits

    Your natural “internal sun protection” is fully active. The sunburn threshold is much higher, and skin appears calmer, plumper, more hydrated, and more even. Long-term defence against photoaging is now in place, with noticeable improvements reported in conditions such as melasma, psoriasis, and eczema.

    Serving: One scoop (½ teaspoon) daily mixed in water, juice or smoothie.

    Sun Shield acts as an internal sunscreen, strengthening your body’s natural defenses against harmful UV rays. Beyond sun protection, it may also support those managing skin conditions such as eczema, psoriasis, vitiligo, and melasma.

    The high-antioxidant formula helps to:

    • Neutralise free radicals and protect against cell damage
    • Relieve inflammation with natural anti-inflammatory effects
    • Support collagen production and overall skin health
    • Improve hydration, sensitivity, and skin resilience
    • Enhance skin structure, firmness, and elasticity
    • Support cognitive function as you age
    • Promote eye health and reduce visual fatigue

    Taken daily, Sun Shield loads your body with protective antioxidants that strengthen your skin’s natural defenses. Over time, it builds an internal shield that reduces the effects of UV exposure, protects collagen, and supports healthier, more radiant skin from within.

    After the initial 2-week “loading phase,” many people notice:

    • Longer sun tolerance before redness occurs
    • Less redness, pain, or peeling after sun exposure
    • Faster skin recovery after time in the sun
    • Improvements in pigmentation and skin conditions
    • Skin that looks plumper, more hydrated, smoother, and glowing

    Yes. Sun Shield is generally suitable for all skin types and may even benefit those with eczema, psoriasis, or vitiligo. If you have allergies or specific concerns, consult your healthcare provider before use.

    No. While Sun Shield strengthens your internal protection, we still recommend practising safe sun habits—especially during peak UV hours when the UV index is high or extreme.

    Sun Shield contains a powerful blend of antioxidant-rich nutrients, naturally high in vitamins C, K, and E, beta-carotene, and plant-based extracts known for their skin-protective and nourishing benefits.

    Yes. Sun
    Shield is safe to combine with our other products. For specific guidance on
    Activated Charcoal and Heavy Metal Detox please see the Activated Charcoal and
    Heavy Metal Detox FAQ.

    Our formula is generally safe, but we recommend consulting your healthcare provider if you are on prescription medication.

    Not advised: Those taking immune-suppressant medication

    Caution: If taking blood pressure medication or blood thinners, consult your healthcare provider to monitor levels while using this product

    No. There is not enough research to confirm its safety during pregnancy or breastfeeding, so we do not recommend its use.

    Not at this stage. While the ingredients are approved for children at lower doses in Europe, Australian approval is still pending with the TGA. Currently, Sun Shield is for adult use only.

    For best results, take for at least two weeks before full sun exposure and continue daily throughout periods of sun exposure. Many people choose to take it year-round, as the antioxidant benefits also support skin health, inflammation balance, eye function, and cognitive health.

    Note: Long periods of intense sun exposure are not recommended.

    Some users may notice:

    • Increased bowel movements or a red tint in stool
    • A natural golden glow or tan (completely safe and often welcomed)

    Most people tolerate Sun Shield well, but mild digestive discomfort or allergic reactions may occur. Rare side effects can include bloating, headaches, fatigue, increased heart rate, or stomach pain. If concerned, consult your healthcare provider.

    Yes. Sun Shield is proudly Australian-owned and manufactured locally.

    Some ingredients are sourced overseas from certified organic suppliers in climates where they grow best. Seasonal challenges such as droughts, floods, or natural disasters may affect sourcing, but we always adapt to secure the highest quality.

    All suppliers are certified organic and hold ISO, BRAC, or FSSC certifications.

    Yes. The formula helps reduce inflammation, prevent metabolic disturbances linked to obesity, and support fat burning—contributing to healthy weight management and reduced body fat over time.

    We have complete confidence in the quality and effectiveness of our products, which is why we proudly offer our Vitality risk free 60-day money-back guarantee to ensure your satisfaction and peace of mind.
