Melanotane-2 Hilma Biocare

Melanotan-2 by Hilma Biocare is a synthetic peptide that mimics alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (α-MSH) to boost the skin's melanin production. Its main appeal is a deeper, longer-lasting tan achieved with far less sun exposure, but it also carries two well-known side effects that many users seek out: increased libido and appetite suppression. Supplied as lyophilized powder for reconstitution, it is a popular lifestyle and aesthetics peptide rather than a performance compound.
| Active substance | Melanotan-2 (α-MSH analog) |
| Manufacturer | Hilma Biocare |
| Form | Lyophilized powder for reconstitution |
| Typical dosage | 0.25–1 mg per day (loading), then maintenance |
| Class | Melanocortin peptide |
| Focus | Tanning, libido |
Effects and benefits
By stimulating melanocytes, Melanotan-2 darkens the skin and lets a tan build and hold with minimal UV exposure. The same melanocortin pathway drives its secondary effects on sexual function and appetite, which many users consider a bonus.
- Stimulates melanin for a deeper tan
- Reduces the need for sun exposure
- Enhances libido
- Mild appetite suppression
Usage and administration
Melanotan-2 is reconstituted with bacteriostatic water and dosed subcutaneously, usually with a small daily loading phase followed by weekly maintenance once the desired tone is reached. As a research peptide it belongs alongside the rest of the peptides range rather than in an anabolic cycle.
