Silymarin and sun protection

Silymarin 80% is a natural skin care ingredient taken from the milk thistle plant. There are many studies that show it to be effective as an anti-oxidant, an anti-inflammatory, and for UV protection and repair. It has also been shown to reduce the spread of skin cancer to a certain degree.

"The milk thistle plant contains silibinin and silymarin, two compounds that are well known for their anti-oxidant, anti-inflammatory properties"

"Topical application of silymarin significantly decreased skin cancer number and size in a validated model of tumor promotion."
