Melanotan 1 (MT-1), often administered as afamelanotide, is a synthetic peptide that induces skin tanning and enhances natural photoprotection by stimulating melanin production. Its primary, evidence-backed benefit is increased skin pigmentation, which reduces sunburn cells and protects against UV radiation. It is also investigated for treating photoinduced skin diseases.
Key Benefits of Melanotan 1:
Enhanced Photoprotection: Studies indicate that MT-1 increases eumelanin (the protective form of melanin), reducing the number of sunburn cells by up to 47%.
Skin Tanning: It induces darkening of the skin, acting as a sunless tanning agent.
Medical Applications: It is studied for treating skin conditions that are sensitive to light, such as erythropoietic protoporphyria, solar dermatitis, and polymorphic light eruption.
Reduction in UV Damage: When combined with UV exposure, it helps the skin tan more efficiently while minimizing damage.
