Melanotan I is a synthetic analogue that mimics the body’s α-MSH signaling and binds the MC1R receptor to stimulate melanogenesis. In research contexts, literature has explored its potential to:

• Reduce UV-induced skin damage by increasing eumelanin in epidermal cells.

• Improve photosensitivity and tolerance to sunlight in light-sensitive cohorts.

• Accelerate tanning with UV exposure and even skin tone.

• Support photoprotection in conditions studied such as erythropoietic protoporphyria (EPP).

Note: Responses vary by protocol design, baseline status, and endpoints. This content reflects a research/education context aligned to Live Hebe’s science-backed voice.
