Melanotan 2

Melanotan 2 is a synthetic peptide that has been studied for its ability to mimic certain effects of the body’s natural melanocortin hormones and stimulate melanin production. It is not approved by major regulatory agencies for tanning, cosmetic use, or medical treatment. Products marketed online as “tan injections” or “Barbie drug” may carry safety concerns, including risks related to unregulated formulations. Information about Melanotan 2 should be considered from a scientific and regulatory perspective.
