Melanotan I

---

Melanotan I (MT-I) is a synthetic peptide that stimulates melanogenesis — the production of melanin, the pigment responsible for skin color.

It is used for safe, controlled tanning, improved skin protection, and enhanced pigmentation consistency.

Unlike Melanotan II, Melanotan I does not typically affect libido or appetite. It offers a more steady, predictable tanning effect with fewer systemic side effects.

Melanotan I activates melanocortin-1 receptors (MC1R), increasing natural melanin levels in the skin.
This leads to:

·  Darker, richer skin pigmentation

·  Better UV resistance

·  More even skin tone

·  Reduced risk of sunburn

MT-I helps the body tan faster, darker, and with less UV exposure.

Promotes a natural, even tan without excessive sun exposure.

Higher melanin levels help protect skin from UV damage.

Ideal for people with fair or sensitive skin who burn easily.

Improves overall skin tone and reduces patchiness.

Tans achieved with MT-I generally last longer than typical sun tans.

A cleaner, more predictable tanning experience compared to MT-II.
