This synthetic melanin was derived from the aloe vera plant, and was developed and patented by Pawelek, senior research scientist in dermatology , and his team at Yale. Samples from the same bottle appear different on different skin, adapting to a person's own complexion.
People are always amazed when they see it.
It is well-recognized by dermatologists that the more natural melanin in one's skin, the less sun damage one accrues, such as wrinkling, melanoma, and basal and squamous cell cancers. Pawelek said Melasyn not only boosts the skin's melanin, but has a natural appearance on the skin. Additional products to be launched in the spring include a concealer, a self tanner, and a face and body bronzer.
