Frequently Asked Questions

What makes SUN LOVE different?

As a brand, SUN LOVE is committed to finding holistic solutions to suncare, allowing people to feel confident to safely enjoy the positive effects of the sun.

What is PLE?

Polypodium Leucotomos Extract (PLE) is a natural compound derived from a tropical fern native to South America. It is renowned for its photoprotective properties, offering multiple skin benefits, such as:

  • Powerful antioxidant activity
  • Anti-inflammatory effects
  • Protection against sunburn and UV-induced cell damage
  • Reducing the severity of sun allergies
  • Defending against both UVA and UVB rays
  • Minimizing immediate sun damage and preventing long-term issues like age spots

Is SUN LOVE sunscreen?

SUN LOVE products are not sunscreen. Our products are created to provide a holistic approach to suncare that includes skincare considerations before, during and after sun exposure and address concerns such as protection, hydration and repair. Our products include PLE, which is a strong antioxidant proven to help prevent both immediate and long term sun damage to skin. Think of it as an extra layer of protection to your suncare routine.

Can I use SUN LOVE in addition to sunscreen?

Absolutely! We recommend using a non-toxic, mineral based sunscreen in addition to our products for a well-rounded suncare routine.

When should I take the SUN LOVE supplement?

Our PLE + Vitamin D supplement is designed for daily use to provide antioxidant protection from ongoing sun exposure while also providing necessary vitamin D in less sunny times of the year. We recommend taking one supplement daily with food.

Will the SUN LOVE supplement interfere with my sunscreen?

Not at all! Think of it as an extra layer of protection - especially for those hard to reach places like the scalp and behind the ears. Also, unlike sunscreen, it doesn’t wash off in water!

What does “Holistic Suncare” mean?

“Holistic Suncare” simply means that there is more to suncare than sunscreen. At SUN LOVE, “Holistic Suncare” means caring for skin before, during and after sun exposure - not just putting on sunscreen in the moment. We are developing products to address protection before sun exposure, hydration during exposure and repair after exposure. Join our newsletter to be the first to know about new product launches as we create the first holistic suncare brand for modern day sun worshipers.

Should I continue using sunscreen if I use PLE products?

Yes! While our PLE supplements and mist offer additional sun protection, they should be used alongside sunscreen for comprehensive sun care. 

What makes SUN LOVE products different from other sun care brands?

SUN LOVE stands out by incorporating Polypodium Leucotomos Extract (PLE), a powerful fern extract with antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. Unlike traditional sun care products that only protect from the outside, SUN LOVE products work from the inside out, helping to shield your skin from harmful sun effects and providing comprehensive, long-lasting protection.

Are SUN LOVE products vegan and gluten free?

Yes, our cruelty-free products are vegan and are made without gluten.
