Functions
Tanning agent
MelanoBronze is a combination of acetyl tyrosine – a stable pigment substrate – and a Monk’s pepper berry extract (Vitex agnus-castus) that actively stimulates the melanin production in melanocytes. This novel tan inducer is a botanical complex that boosts melanin formation in the skin even without exposure to the sun.
Incorporated in skin care applications, MelanoBronze adds an extra value to:
- daily skin care products to achieve a natural and protective tan
- sun protection products designed to enhance tanning
- self-tanning products to stimulate natural melanin formation
MelanoBronze is a practical approach to tanning: gradual, effective, and protective.
