The other day somebody said in my presence that it's not the sun which causes skin cancer, it's sunscreen.
Fortunately, they got roasted for it, but apparently some companies are now making dietary supplements that claim they can protect you from the sun.
Nope.
There are things you can eat/take which promote skin health. But none of them can protect you from the sun.
So, don't fall for it and use that sunscreen. If you're concerned about the effects on, say, coral reefs, use a mineral-based sunscreen that uses zinc oxide or titanium oxide. Oh, and wear a hat, it helps.
