MelanoBronze Biomimetic tanning activator
What is it? And why we use this ingredient in HOLLIDAY SKIN?
MelanoBronze is a tan activator that is based on an extract of the monk’s pepper berries which have ß-endorphin like activity. MelanoBronze stimulates the natural tanning process either with or without sun. This active ingredient also contains a tyrosine derivative to further boost melanin synthesis.
Melanin is a natural pigment found in humans, responsible for the color of skin, hair, and eyes. It is produced by cells called melanocytes, which are located in the bottom layer of the epidermis. The amount and type of melanin produced by these cells determine the wide range of skin tones and hair colors in humans.
In vitro assays performed on melanocytes showed the capacity of monk’s pepper berry extract to independently stimulate melanin synthesis in a dose-dependent way.
In placebo-controlled clinical studies, MelanoBronze was shown to increase the tanning of the skin in a dose-dependent way either with or without simultaneous UV exposure. Furthermore, the results demonstrated the distinct in vivo tanning efficacy of our monk’s pepper berry extract.
Melanin serves several important functions:
- Protection Against UV Radiation: Melanin absorbs harmful ultraviolet (UV) rays from the sun, reducing the risk of DNA damage that can lead to skin cancer. This protective role is one reason why people with darker skin are less susceptible to the damaging effects of UV radiation.
- Antioxidant Properties: Melanin has antioxidant properties, which help neutralize harmful free radicals that can cause cellular damage.
MelanoBronze in HOLLIDAY SKIN benefits:
• Boosts natural melanin synthesis
• Improves the skin’s own UV defense
• Enhances natural skin tan
