Melatonin is secreted by the pineal gland in response to sunlight. Topical use of synthetic melatonin appears to be beneficial to the skin in many ways. Used in conjunction with magnesium ascorbyl phosphate (MAP), melatonin improved skin elasticity. It may also help with mouth sores (stomatitis), decrease the effect of radiotherapy on the skin and improve skin texture. Melatonin may help improve hair texture in female alopecia.

Each tube is enough for 4 oz of cream, lotion, or sunscreen and can be combined with our other actives. Use in your favourite cream or purchase our Canvas base cream or Sea Kelp bioferment (sea kelp is perfect for people with oily skin).

Use: use melatonin at about 1% in Canvas base cream (one tube is perfect for 4oz of Canvas). For the scalp, dissolve in sea kelp bioferment or rosehip oil.
