Melitane (Acetyl Hexapeptide-1) is a biomimetic peptide widely used in the skincare and cosmetic industry for its unique ability to stimulate melanin production, mimicking the action of alpha-melanocyte stimulating hormone (α-MSH) to provide a natural-looking tan without UV exposure. It offers both instant and progressive tanning effects, making it ideal for self-tanning products. Beyond tanning, Melitane supports anti-aging by promoting collagen and elastin synthesis, enhancing skin elasticity, firmness, and overall texture while reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. It also possesses anti-inflammatory properties, soothing sensitive or irritated skin, and helps protect against environmental damage from stressors like UV radiation. Commonly found in tanning lotions, anti-wrinkle creams, serums, and rejuvenating treatments, Melitane is frequently combined with ingredients such as hyaluronic acid, antioxidants, or moisturizers to amplify its benefits and deliver comprehensive skincare results.
