Polypodium leucotomos is a tropical fern native to Central and South America, commonly used in skincare and health supplements due to its antioxidant and photoprotective properties.
The extract from this fern has been shown to help protect the skin from the harmful effects of ultraviolet (UV) radiation, reduce oxidative stress, and improve skin health overall. People in Latin America have been using it for centuries by drinking it as a tea to prevent sun damage. Now, you can take it in pill or gummy form to keep your skin safe when you're outside.
