Melitan

A peptide for golden-glow products

Melitan is a cosmetic solution of Acetyl Hexapeptide-1 in the Melitane class, positioned for tan-support and sun-care companion products: pre-sun and after-sun lotions, glow serums and body products for a warmer, more even-looking tone. The catalog INCI is Glycerin (and) Water (and) Dextran (and) Acetyl Hexapeptide-1. CAS is Mixture, with Acetyl Hexapeptide-1 listed as 448944-47-6.

Solution or powder?

The catalog also carries Acetyl Hexapeptide-1 Powder. Melitan is the ready solution with a glycerin and dextran vehicle, which blends easily into water phases. Active content differs between forms, so recalculate when switching.

Formulating with Melitan

Process

Add the solution during cool-down, below 40 °C, and mix gently.

Bases

Body lotions, after-sun gels, glow serums and light face fluids are typical. Record pH and viscosity before and after addition. Take the use level from the supplier documentation for your lot.

A tan-support peptide does not protect the skin from the sun. On the label, remind people to use.

Pairing ideas

Pair Melitan with Exo-P Peptide for a city-and-sun daily fluid, or with soothing after-sun ingredients such as aloe and panthenol. Antioxidants complement the story. Add each active separately in cool-down.

Example: glow body lotion architecture

A light emulsion, glycerin, Melitan added after cooling, an antioxidant and a validated preservative. Exact levels come from the supplier documentation. A subtle shimmer can support the glow positioning.

Claims

Keep claims cosmetic: a warmer, more even-looking glow, a sun-kissed look. Avoid claims about tanning faster or protecting skin from UV.

Lot handling and storage

Record appearance and pH on arrival, compare them with the CoA, and keep the CoA with your batch records so each finished batch can be traced to its lot. Store tightly closed, cool and away from light.

Seasonal range planning

Tan-support products sell around the summer season, so plan stability testing well ahead of launch. A typical range pairs a pre-sun body lotion, an after-sun gel and a face glow serum, all carrying Melitan for a consistent story. Remind people on every pack to use a separate. Store finished products away from heat, since summer products often travel in hot bags and cars.

Ordering

It ships from Florida, usually within 1 to 2 business days, in the pack sizes shown above, and US shipping is free on orders of $50 or more. Compare all peptide solutions.
