There’s a common — and dangerous — myth that melanin-rich skin doesn’t need sun protection. The truth? All skin needs support when it comes to UV exposure. At bronzebody® we believe that sun care should be inclusive, proactive, and rooted in real science. Here’s what deeper skin tones need to know about protecting and supporting their glow.
Yes, Melanin Offers Some Natural Protection — But Not Enough
Melanin does offer a degree of UV protection. But it’s not armor. Deeper skin tones can still experience:
-
Sunburn
-
Hyperpigmentation
-
Photoaging
-
Increased risk of skin cancer (which often goes undiagnosed longer)
Everyone, regardless of skin tone, benefits from a holistic approach to sun care — including sunscreen and internal skin support.
Why Deeper Skin Tones Are More Prone to Hyperpigmentation
Deeper skin has more active melanocytes (melanin-producing cells). When your skin is stressed by UV rays or inflammation, those cells can overproduce melanin — causing uneven tone, dark spots, and patches that are hard to fade.
Supporting your skin from within can help reduce that overreaction and support even tone.
bronzebody® and Melanin-Rich Skin
Our formulas support all skin tones — and offer particular benefits for deeper skin:
-
GLOW helps support balanced melanin production with beta-carotene and tocotrienols
-
GLITZ provides antioxidant and hydration support to help maintain elasticity and reduce inflammation
-

These aren’t tanning pills. They’re skin support for every body.

Smart Sun Care Tips for Melanin-Rich Skin
-
Always wear SPF 30+ daily (yes, even indoors or in winter)
-
Choose mineral or chemical sunscreens that won’t leave a white cast
-
Reapply every 2 hours when outside
-
Pair sunscreen with bronzebody® supplements to support your skin from the inside out
-
Treat dark spots and uneven tone gently — harsh treatments can worsen inflammation
