For over-the-counter use, Solius Pro aims to deliver the natural health benefits of the sun without causing skin damage.
Launching just in time to keep you out of the summer sun's harmful rays, personalized sunlight tech company Solius Labs' Solius Pro is a portable light panel that sits in a brand-new category: over-the-counter phototherapy technology, which was previously limited to medical settings. The FDA even created a new product code for the device in order to clear it for use without a prescription, per a press statement.
In the US, Solius Pro was specifically FDA-cleared to stimulate vitamin D production for people age 22 and older.
"Solius UVB light therapy provides 12x the healthy UVB [ultraviolet B] health benefits of the sun with 99% less total UV risk," Chris Kiple, CEO of Solius Labs, told CNET. "UVB light has been clinically shown to drive some of the body's most important biological processes."
