7 Reasons a Skin Cancer Surgeon and Cosmetic Dermatologist Created Sun Powder

“After 10,000+ skin cancer surgeries, this is what I developed and recommend to all of my patients.”
Sunscreen is essential. But after years treating skin cancer, sun damage, dark spots, wrinkles, and premature aging, we saw the same problem again and again: most people only protect their skin from the outside.
Sun Powder was made to support your skin from the inside, helping treat sun sensitivity, dark spots, signs of skin aging, and promote overall skin longevity.
Most people apply only 25–50% of the recommended sunscreen amount.
Sunscreen is one of the best tools we have. But almost nobody uses it perfectly.
They apply too little. They miss spots. They forget to reapply. They sweat. They swim. They stay outside longer than planned.
We’re dermatologists, we love sunscreen, we recommend it, but we know first hand what real life looks like.
Sun Powder was made to support your skin from the inside, so your daily defense does not depend only on perfect sunscreen habits.
02
Sun Damage Accumulates Daily, Leading To Skin Aging
Up to 80% of visible skin aging comes from sun exposure, not genetics.
Most people think they’re sun exposed only when they’re on the beach, or on vacation. There’s a famous image of a truck driver’s face in dermatology. The left side of his face is aged, the right side is smooth. That’s from constant, incidental, daily sun exposure.
That is why we think skin protection should be a daily habit, not a beach-day decision. Cumulative exposure causes cumulative damage. Cumulative damage shows up later as dark spots, uneven tone, rough texture, fine lines, redness, and in more serious cases, spots that Dr. Soleymani has to remove.
Sun Powder gives you a simple way to support your skin every day, even when the sun is not the obvious problem.
03
Skincare Should Work From the Outside AND the Inside
8 ingredients tested in 150+ clinical trials to improve skin appearance.
Most skincare starts on the surface. Sunscreen. Moisturizer. Serums. Retinol. Vitamin C.
All of that matters, but your skin isn’t just a surface. It’s a living tissue that regenerates every 28 days. It needs support to repair and protect from within.
Sun Powder was made to work beneath the surface with ingredients that support your skin’s response to sun exposure, oxidative stress, hydration, and long-term skin health.
This is the inside layer most routines miss.
04
Our Clinical Study Showed Less Redness After UV Exposure
100% of participants showed reduced UV-induced redness in our clinical study.
This is one of the biggest reasons we made Sun Powder.
In our clinical study, people taking Sun Powder showed less redness after controlled UV exposure.
Why does that matter? Redness is the visible sign of burning. It is one of the clearest ways to see how skin responds to the sun.
Sun Powder was not built on a vague beauty claim. It was built around a real skin outcome people understand.
Think of it like a backup layer for when you’re outdoors.
05
Supports More Even Skin Tone, Including Melasma
5+ million Americans have melasma. Most are women aged 20–50.
Melasma is one of the most stubborn skin concerns dermatologists see. Patches of darker pigmentation, most often on the cheeks, forehead, or upper lip. UV makes it worse. Heat makes it worse. Hormones can trigger it.
Topicals can help. But melasma is also internal. Pigmentation is a response your skin makes to stress, and that stress includes the everyday UV exposure most people never think about.
Sun Powder includes a group of ingredients dermatologists associate with more even, brighter skin tone:
Polypodium leucotomos, studied for melasma severity
Nicotinamide, studied for the pigmentation pathway
Glutathione, an antioxidant linked to skin brightening
Vitamin C, which supports skin clarity from within
Sun Powder is not a melasma treatment. It is a daily internal layer that helps support your skin against the things that make melasma worse.
06
Ingredients Dermatologists Trust, That Science Backs
Studied in 34,000 patients; showed up to 54% reduction in risk.
Most skin supplements are not made for sun exposure. They talk about glow. They talk about beauty. They talk about hair, skin, and nails.
Sun Powder is different. It was built around ingredients dermatologists actually think about for sun damage.
Polypodium leucotomos is a fern extract studied for how it helps support the skin’s response to UV exposure. For 20 years, dermatologists have recommended it to patients who get a lot of sun. Sun Powder includes 240mg, the clinical dose.
Nicotinamide is a form of vitamin B3 studied in dermatology for its relationship to UV-related skin damage and long-term skin health. Most multivitamins include 25mg as a token amount. Sun Powder includes 1,000mg, the clinical dose.
These are not trendy. They are not exotic. They are serious skin nutrients with real places in dermatology.
That is why our founders included them in Sun Powder, alongside 6 other ingredients chosen for the same reason: serious skin science, not surface-level claims.

One Drink, Once Daily, 10 Seconds, Total Skin Health
Sun Powder combines 8 skin-supporting ingredients into one daily drink, dosed by dermatologists. Mix it with cold water, a smoothie, or your morning routine.

Why Sun Powder keeps selling out online and in dermatology offices around the country
Sun Powder was created by two dermatologists who kept seeing the same problem.
Dr. Teo Soleymani, a skin cancer surgeon, saw patients dealing with skin cancer, precancers, and years of sun exposure.
Dr. Michael Abrouk, a cosmetic dermatologic surgeon, saw patients spending thousands of dollars trying to improve dark spots, wrinkles, texture, and visible aging caused by the sun.
Different patients. Same root problem.
People were using sunscreen. People were buying skincare. People were getting treatments. But almost no one had a simple way to support their skin from the inside.
So they created Sun Powder.
A daily drink made for people who get sun, with 8 ingredients chosen to support your skin’s response to UV exposure, oxidative stress, hydration, collagen, and long-term skin health.
And the timing hit.
Because once people understand the problem, they get it fast.
They forget to reapply sunscreen.
They burn more easily than they used to.
They are starting to see dark spots or sun damage.
They spend a lot of time outside.
They have had moles and spots removed, or know someone who has had surgery.
They want to do more for their skin before the damage is harder to ignore.
That is why Sun Powder sold out online 6x last year.

It is why dermatology offices and medspas across the country are carrying it.
And it is why customers are making it part of their daily routine before summer, before vacation, and before their next long day in the sun.

Not even getting pink from the sun
“I have blonde hair, blue eyes, white skin and freckles. I have been trying to get my Vitamin D in daily by laying out in the sun with no sunscreen. I lay out for an hour each day. Since I started using this, I am not even getting PINK from the sun (this has never happened before). This stuff is great!!!!”
Joann LichtmanVerified buyer
My dermatologist sees the difference
“For me it’s another tool in the toolkit. I have red hair, blue eyes. I used to put oil on and turn on a rotisserie. I put on sunscreen every day but it’s imperfect. This just gives me that added protection. It tastes good. There’s no question my skin is better. My dermatologist tells me that every 3 months.”
Dr. Dylan Greeney, MDVerified buyer
I recommend it to my patients
“I’m a dermatologist and I love the ingredients in here. It’s something I recommend to all my patients who spend time in the sun, or just want added protection. Easy and simple, which I love.”

A week in Cancun, no sunburn
“I’ve had a lot of basal cells. I first heard about this on Max Lugavere’s podcast. I’ve been taking it religiously since then. I was in Cancun recently and was by the pool all week, and noticed that I didn’t get any kind of sunburn. It is just part of my daily routine, and I love how my skin looks.”
Amy ChartierVerified buyer
I truly see a difference in my skin
“I had started using nicotinamide with resveratrol several years ago, then switched to Sun Powder. I don’t ever anticipate not using Sun Powder. I had no criticism (other than not the best tasting) but really do appreciate the new options. I use the unflavored (still awful taste lol) but I do not like any additives if at all possible. Anyways, it is one supplement I take that I truly see a difference in my skin and skin health. I am always recommending it to people.”
