Melanin in Skin

Melanin is already protecting your skin from damage. Skin care products which contain melanin add an extra shield of protection from the UV and HEV light that cause skin damage and accelerates the look of aging. Our award-winning melanin formulation for skin care has been shown to not only protect skin but repair skin by reducing oxidative stress in the cells.

Benefits of Melanin

  • Melanin is nature’s answer to skin protection. Many epidemiological studies have shown lower incidences for skin cancer in individuals with darker skin compared to those with fair skin.
  • Melanin in our skin has antioxidant and radical scavenging properties. HEV Melanin derived from organic materials is designed to protect the skin from UV and HEV light, while allowing red visible light that is beneficial to the skin.

Product Availability

For many years, Photoprotective Technologies has had an exclusive arrangement with Vantage Specialty Chemicals to supply melanin as a cosmetic ingredient. Liposhield HEV Melanin and Liposhield Mel-C are currently used as ingredient in high quality cosmetic products available around the world.
