What is Melanotan 2?
Melanotan II, commonly referred to as Melanotan 2 or MT2, is a synthetic peptide that interacts with melanocortin receptors in the body.
It is commonly discussed in connection with pigmentation because melanocortin activity can influence the production of melanin, the pigment responsible for much of the colour in human skin.
Individual responses can vary considerably depending on natural pigmentation, genetics, skin type and other factors.
Melanotan II is not an approved therapeutic product in Australia. The information on this page is general educational information and is not medical advice or instructions for use.

Understanding your natural skin characteristics is important when learning about pigmentation and how skin responds to ultraviolet exposure.
Melanin

Skin Type
