A synthetic analog of α‑melanocyte-stimulating hormone (α‑MSH), FDA‑approved as Scenesse for preventing sun damage in rare conditions like erythropoietic protoporphyria
Binds melanocortin receptors (especially MC1R) to stimulate melanin production, enabling a natural tan with less UV exposure
Clinically shown to reduce sunburn risk, increase melanin retention (up to 3 weeks), and lower UV dose needed for a tan sciencedirect.com+7peptidesciences.com+7en.wikipedia.org+7
Offers additional benefits like photoprotection, potential BP regulation, and emerging cognitive and cardiovascular protection in animal models
Side effects may include flushing, nausea, and freckling; unregulated products carry legal, quality, and safety risks (e.g., moles, melanoma concerns)
Ideal for individuals seeking a safer, clinically studied tanning aid, photoprotection, and potential systemic wellness benefits—but only under regulated medical supervision
