8 ingredients backed by thousands of clinical studies.

As you age, sun damages your skin. This damage can be exhibited through visible indicators like fine lines and wrinkles, but can also cause invisible effects on the cellular level through DNA damage.

Beyond Skin Deep

As you age, your skin gradually loses its strongest defenses.

Over time, your skin’s natural protectors weaken, the proteins that keep it firm and hydrated break down, and its immune guardians become less numerous and less active.

Together, these shifts make skin more vulnerable to everyday stress, slower to repair, and more likely to speed up the visible signs of aging.

HOW KEY PROTECTIVE COMPOUNDS AFFECT YOUR SKIN HEALTH AS YOU AGE

WHAT CAN WE DO ABOUT IT?

Despite these declining levels, the ingredients in Sun Powder are shown to protect your skin from further damage while slowing down this natural aging process.

Preliminary Study

Sun Powder’s clinical study shows promising results

Clinical Study Whitepaper

Method

Controlled broad-spectrum laser calibrated to simulate 6 hours of peak midday sun (UVA + UVB).

One hour post-exposure, measured erythema (redness).
Participants then consumed one dose of Sun Powder and were exposed again to the laser.
One hour post-ingestion, measured erythema again.

Why measure redness?

Redness is the earliest, most visible sign of UV damage — a proxy for DNA damage, inflammation, and sunburn. Reducing it post-exposure signals faster recovery and protection.

Preliminary Results

In a significant portion of participants, post-ingestion redness was visibly reduced compared to the baseline data.

80%

erythema reduction

Baseline 1 hour post-exposure to UVA + UVB

With Sun Powder 1 hour post-ingestion & more UVA + UVB exposure

What these results suggest

Potential anti-inflammatory effects can occur within just 1 hour — even after UV damage has begun.
This could indicate Sun Powder's ingredients act fast to mitigate visible sun damage, rather than just offering long-term support.

Subsequently, he underwent additional specialized fellowship training in Lasers and Cosmetic Dermatologic Surgery at Harvard School of Medicine / Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston with the team that invented and pioneered nearly all lasers used in medicine and dermatology today.

Every week in our practices, we see the real consequences of sun exposure: from stubborn redness and premature aging to the early stages of skin cancer.

We love the sun. Our patients love the sun. But we also see what happens when skin isn't properly supported from the inside.

For years, we've recommended specific vitamins and antioxidants to help patients strengthen their skin: nicotinamide for DNA repair, polypodium to reduce UV inflammation, astaxanthin for antioxidant defense. These aren't trendy ingredients. They're backed by published clinical trials.

The problem? Our patients were juggling 10 different bottles, often in doses that didn't match the research or from brands we couldn't fully verify.

So we built Sun Powder. Clinical doses of the exact ingredients we've been recommending for years. The same forms and amounts used in the studies. Nothing proprietary, nothing hidden.

What started as a solution for our own patients is now available to anyone who wants calmer, stronger, more sun-resilient skin.

Here's what matters most:

This doesn't replace sunscreen. Keep wearing SPF. Reapply every two hours. Seek shade. Sun Powder works alongside those habits, supporting how your skin responds to UV stress and builds resilience over time.

One scoop a day. Keep wearing sunscreen. And hopefully, you never need to see us in the office for the wrong reasons.
