Solar capsules provide a cosmetic tan but no sun protection

rtbf.be (French)

Solar capsules offer a slight orange hue to the skin but do not provide sun protection or activate tanning. They are primarily for cosmetic effect. These supplements contain antioxidants and beta-carotenes that accumulate in the epidermis, giving a subtle tanned appearance. They do not protect against UV rays or sunburn. While not a substitute for sunscreen, solar capsules can be beneficial for individuals with sun allergies, used preventatively under medical advice. Overdosing and interactions are possible risks.
