MT-1, also called Melanotan I, is an investigational peptide studied for natural melanin production and skin pigmentation. It is intended for adults interested in pigmentation support who want physician oversight rather than an unregulated product.

What it is

MT-1 is a synthetic analog of alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone, a hormone your body already uses to signal pigment-producing cells. It works as a selective melanocortin-1 receptor agonist. That selectivity matters. By targeting the melanocortin-1 receptor specifically, MT-1 is described in research as promoting melanin production without meaningfully engaging the other melanocortin pathways involved in appetite or sexual function. This is what distinguishes it from the broader, non-selective peptide we do not carry.

What the research explores

MT-1 has been studied for melanin production and skin pigmentation, along with a possible mild photoprotective effect. Human data is limited and there are no large randomized controlled trials establishing efficacy or long-term safety for cosmetic use. We describe it as studied and investigational, and individual response varies. It is not a substitute for sun protection.

How it’s made

Every vial is compounded to order by a licensed US 503A pharmacy, then third-party tested for potency, sterility, pH, and endotoxins. It ships reconstituted and ready to use, so there is nothing to mix.
