About Melanotan I.
Melanotan I (Afamelanotide) selectively activates the MC1R receptor on melanocytes, stimulating melanin production for a natural tan without significant libido or appetite effects. Approved in some jurisdictions for erythropoietic protoporphyria, it is used clinically and cosmetically for photoprotection.
