By utilising advanced peptide technologies designed to support the natural tanning process both indoors and outdoors, Melanoboost's innovative product range signifies a highly sought-after evolution in tanning.

Unlike traditional suntan oils, lotions and creams which are designed for use only during UV exposure, Melanoboost, through its use of peptides, helps to prepare your skin for tanning before you even step outside, providing a head start to reduce the time needed outdoors to build your tan. This innovative approach not only helps to maximise your tanning potential, but also works to minimise sun exposure, making the Melanoboost product range a smarter choice for natural tanning.

Use Melanoboost in conjunction with sunscreen and a balanced approach to sun exposure and transform your tanning game.

Taking a balanced approach to UV exposure involves understanding the benefits and risks associated with sun exposure and taking proactive measures to maximise the former while minimising the latter. By knowing your skin type, using adequate sun protection, being aware of the UV index, timing your sun exposure wisely, and avoiding prolonged sun exposure, you can enjoy the sun in moderation.

Melanoboost Peptide Sun Tanning Oils, Lotions and Spray do not contain sunscreen, so don’t forget your usual sun protection. TIP: Apply Melanoboost first, let it absorb, then apply sunscreen over the top. Re-apply both again after swimming.
*Check the expiry on your SPF to ensure adequate protection.

No, wearing sunscreen won't hinder your ability to tan. In fact, it's essential for safeguarding your skin from burning, peeling, and sun damage while outdoors.

We highly encourage the use of sunscreen alongside all Melanoboost products. Here's a tip: apply Melanoboost first, allow it to absorb, then apply sunscreen on top. Remember to reapply both after swimming.

When selecting sunscreen, opt for an SPF factor that matches your needs. A higher SPF provides better UV protection, while a lower SPF offers less protection. Remember to always check the expiry date on your SPF to ensure adequate protection.

It certainly is! Melanoboost products are proudly vegan and cruelty-free. We're delighted to share that Melanoboost is listed on the PETA website as part of their 'Beauty without Bunnies' program. This means that our products are not tested on animals, and we're committed to ethical treatment across our entire range.

You can find Melanoboost listed in the 'CRUELTY-FREE' DATABASE on PETA's website, reaffirming our dedication to cruelty-free practices.

All Melanoboost products contain biomimetic peptides of equivalent effect to assist tanning with minimal sun exposure, however each has its distinct texture and feel on the skin so the choice between an oil, lotion, or spray simply comes down to personal preference.

Some people may like the way oils provide intense moisturisation, particularly during UV exposure when it's needed most. They may also like the way that oils have the unique ability to instantly enhance a natural sun tan with a glistening luminosity that’s hard to beat.

Others may prefer the fast absorption rate, and light, weightless feel of a spray, especially pre and post sun exposure when feeling refreshed and replenished is key to comfortable skin.

Rich and soothing, lotions instantly quench any dryness leaving the skin visibly hydrated and soft to the touch which is why they are always a favourite.

Melanoboost is crafted to assist tanning in all skin types and tones, including those with fair skin.

Melanoboost, through its use of peptides, helps to prepare your skin for tanning before you even step outside, providing a head start to reduce the time needed outdoors to build your tan. This innovative approach not only helps to maximise your tanning potential, but also works to minimise sun exposure, making the Melanoboost product range a smarter choice for natural tanning.

Regardless of whether your skin tone is fair or olive, a balanced approach to sun exposure, along with sunscreen use is always recommended.

Since everyone's skin is different, individual results may differ based on skin type and or personal expectations. For instance, individuals who start with very fair skin should not anticipate achieving results similar to an olive skin tone. Melanoboost is tailored to assist you in achieving your optimal tan while respecting your unique skin attributes.

We're delighted to share that numerous customers who describe their skin as light, pale or fair have provided some great product reviews detailing their tanning success using Melanoboost. These reviews can be found on the product pages of our website. Their experiences offer valuable insights into the effectiveness of Melanoboost for individuals with similar skin types.

The time it takes to see results can vary from person to person based on factors such as their natural skin tone and sun tanning ability.

When used as directed before, during and after UV exposure, some individuals may notice changes more quickly, while others may experience a more gradual progression in their tan. For individuals with fairer skin tanning results may take longer.

We recommend a balanced approach to UV exposure to maximise benefit and minimise risk. Short, regular durations of UV exposure should be sufficient for achieving effective tanning results when using Melanoboost. Prolonged exposure should be avoided.

This will be dependent on a few things: your natural tanning ability, and how well you care for and maintain the health of your skin.

Melanoboost is designed to assist tanning each time you apply it, so with continued daily use combined with regular short bursts of UV exposure, you can potentially keep a level of tan all year round.

Yes, it will fade like a real tan because it is a real tan!

No Melanoboost is not the same as Melanotan.

Melanoboost is a safe and effective range of topically applied suntan oils, lotions, and sprays that contain peptides to assist the tanning process. All ingredients used in the Melanoboost product range have been approved for use in cosmetics ensuring both safety and efficacy.

In contrast, Melanotan is a banned injectable drug that lacks approval from any governmental drug regulatory bodies worldwide due to its extensively documented adverse side effects.

Melanoboost is an Australian based company that has no affiliation with Melanotan.

No Melanoboost is not the same as nasal tanning sprays.

Nasal tanning sprays are unregulated and do not possess approval from any governmental drug regulatory bodies worldwide. This is due to the fact that nasal sprays introduce substances directly into the nasal passages, which may result in systemic absorption and unpredictable effects. Moreover, the ingredients used in nasal tanning sprays are not sanctioned for nasal inhalation. Additionally, the delicate and sensitive nature of the nasal mucosa increases the risk of irritation and adverse reactions from unapproved substances.

Melanoboost is a safe and effective range of topically applied suntan oils, lotions, and sprays that contain peptides to assist the tanning process. All ingredients used in the Melanoboost product range have been approved for cosmetic use ensuring both safety and efficacy.

The coral and green bottles contain additional +Bronzing sunless tanning actives (fake tan). These products are designed to build a temporary fake tan over consecutive days of application while the biomimetic peptides work to to prepare your skin for tanning. By the time you're ready to head out doors to work on your real tan, your skin will be perfectly prepped for sun exposure and beautifully bronzed for social exposure.

The +Bronzing sunless tanning actives will not show colour immediately when applied to the skin; the +Bronzing oil and lotion apply clear so won't stain your clothing or bedding.  The fake tan will start to develop colour on the skin after a few hours and will gradually intensify reaching peak colour development at 24 hours.

Apply daily thereafter to build colour intensity. If you prefer not to have any added fake tan and only want to achieve a natural sun tan only, the yellow, blue or aqua bottles are recommended as they do not contain any added +BRONZING sunless tanning actives.

Melanoboost isn't water-resistant. While it readily absorbs into your skin upon application, if you're swimming or perspiring heavily, you'll need to reapply it afterward.

While solariums are prohibited for commercial use in Australia, for our international customers located in countries where solarium use is permitted, yes Melanoboost can ibe used in a solarium, sunbed, or tanning bed.

Absolutely, but did you know we have that covered?

When you're ready to expose your body, your skin will be perfectly prepped for sun exposure, and beautifully bronzed for social exposure!⁠
⁠
Melanoboost + Bronzing formulas work in three phases:⁠

PHASE 1: Non-tinted sunless tanning actives gradually develop into a temporary sunless tan in the lead up to sun exposure.⁠

PHASE 2: while you're building your sunless tan, the peptides work to prepare your skin for sun exposure.

PHASE 3: Only minimal sun exposure is needed to tan effectively using Melanoboost.

Melanoboost products are formulated to nourish and hydrate the skin, which can be beneficial for maintaining the appearance of tattoos. However, it's important to note that to our understanding, sun exposure can potentially affect tattoos, causing them to fade over time. Therefore, if you're planning to spend time outdoors, it's crucial to protect both your skin and your tattoos by using sunscreen with an adequate SPF.
