Forget about fake tans, tanning booths and all those hours wasted laying under sunbeds. You no longer have to burn your skin and take the risk of developing skin cancer, just to get a perfect looking tan. A perfect natural looking all over tan can easily be made possible using naturally occurring hormones.

Researchers who first developed Melanotan 2 knew that one of the best defenses against skin cancer was a natural tan which has been slowly developed over weeks. They hypothesized that an effective way to reduce skin cancer rates in people would be to induce the body's natural tanning system to produce a protective tan prior to UV exposure. The body's naturally occurring hormone - a-MSH - causes melanogenesis, a process by which the skin's tanning cells (melanocytes) produce the skin's tanning pigment (melanin).
