Description
What is Melanotan 1?
Melanotan 1 (MT1) is a synthetic peptide widely studied for its role in skin pigmentation, UV protection, and inflammation support. It is a lab-made version of a natural hormone involved in melanin production, which helps determine skin tone and the body’s response to sun exposure.
In research settings, MT1 has also been explored for its potential effects on immune health and inflammatory response, especially in skin models. It continues to gain interest for its use in studies focused on skin repair, sun damage, and natural skin defense mechanisms.

Summary of Preclinical Research Findings
Skin Tone and Pigmentation
Melanotan 1 is often studied for its ability to boost melanin levels in the skin. Research shows it may help regulate skin tone, color uniformity, and support the body’s natural way of handling sun exposure in lab models.
UV Protection and Sun Damage
MT1 has been tested in studies focused on sun damage and UV-related stress. Findings suggest it may support natural skin defense, which is why it’s often used in models exploring photoprotection and sun-related skin aging.
Inflammation and Immune Support
Melanotan 1 has been investigated for its role in reducing inflammation and supporting immune response in the skin. It’s part of a group of peptides studied for helping manage skin stress, redness, and irritation in preclinical research.
