Bronzing S.F.

Bronzing S.F. is a peptide-based complex that boosts melanin pigment production, suitable for self-tanning applications. Octapeptide-5 is a synthetic peptide that induces melanogenesis by activating the mechanism of action of the alpha-MSH hormone.

Mechanism of action based on the activation of the receptor of alpha-HSM through the MSH mimicking peptide (Octapeptide-5). Induced stimulation of cAMP for the expression of tyrosinase, TRP-1 (tyrosinase-related protein 1), and DTC (dopachrome tautomerase), enzymes involved in the production of melanin.
