Tan Boosting Duo - Peptide Sun Tanning Oils

Melanoboost uses biomimetic peptides to assist the natural tanning process. These intelligent actives are designed to boost melanin in in the lead up to UV exposure.

Melanin is the pigment which makes our skin tan. Naturally, melanin is usually only produced when our skin is exposed to UV light, however the biomimetic peptides used by Melanoboost are designed to mimic melanogenesis without UV exposure which allows you to start the tanning process indoors. This is what makes the science of biomimetic tanning technology so game changing!

The more abundant your melanin levels are before you head outdoors, the better prepared your skin is for exposure to sunlight in moderate amounts, and the better its ability to tan more effectively with minimal sun exposure.

BEFORE: Use Melanoboost Peptide Sun Tanning Oil + Bronzing over 3-5 consecutive days prior to UV exposure to assist melanin production and activate the natural tanning process whilst building a temporary sunless tan - Wash hands after use to avoid staining.

DURING: Use Melanoboost Peptide Sun Tanning Oil during short bursts of UV exposure to advance faster darker tanning with minimal UV exposure.

All Melanoboost products are suitable for use in a sun bed, however if you’re going to use the oil in a sun bed, make sure you allow an extra few minutes for it to absorb into your skin before your session to prevent residual transfer onto the acrylic bed.

Melanoboost only requires short periods of UV exposure to be effective so make sure you limit the amount of time spent in the sunbed.

Melanoboost encourages users to take a balanced approach to UV exposure to maximise benefit and minimise risk. Regular short bursts of sun exposure should be sufficient to tan effectively using Melanoboost.

Melanoboost does not contain sunscreen, so don’t forget your usual sun protection. Apply Melanoboost first, let it absorb, then apply sunscreen. Re-apply both again after swimming.

AFTER: Exposure to the sun and outdoor elements can leave your skin feeling dry, tight and thirsty for moisture. Use Melanoboost Peptide Sun Tanning Oil after spending time in the sun to feed your skin with much needed moisture to quash any dry, after-sun tightness.

If you want to enhance, deepen and prolong your natural sun tan even more, you can also use Melanoboost Peptide Sun Tanning Oil + Bronzing post sun exposure to nourish your skin. The + Bronzing sunless tanning actives will intensify your tan with each application.

Melanoboost Peptide Sun Tanning Oils will continue to assist melanin production with each application , so with continued regular use combined with regular incidental UV exposure, you can potentially keep a level of tan all year round.

All Melanoboost Products contain Melanoboost Peptide Complex: Formulated exclusively for Melanoboost, our Complex is a unique combination of functional peptide actives with Octapeptide-5 at the core; Designed to induce melanogenesis without UV exposure to strengthen the skin’s natural photoprotection and its ability to tan with minimal UV exposure. Further powering the performance of Melanoboost Peptide Complex is another intelligent biomimetic peptide Bronzyl, which offers excellent support to the tanning process when combined with Octapeptide-5.
