Melanotan II is an analog of the peptide hormone alpha-melanocyte stimulating hormone that induces skin tanning. The drug was developed at the University of Arizona. Researchers there knew that one of the best defenses against skin cancer was a natural tan which has been slowly developed over weeks. They hypothesized that an effective way to reduce skin cancer rates in people would be to induce the body's natural tanning system to produce a protective tan prior to UV exposure. They knew the body's naturally occurring hormone alpha-melanocyte stimulating hormone caused melanogenesis, a process by which the skin's tanning cells (melanocytes) produce the skin's tanning pigment (melanin). With that knowledge they tested to see if administering this hormone to the body directly could be an effective method to cause sunless tanning. What they found was that while it appeared to work, natural alpha-MSH had too short a half life in the body to be practical as a therapeutic drug.

Melanotan is popular with athletes and fitness enthusiasts who wish to have the look of a tanned body, but would rather not expose themselves to the potentially harmful rays of the sun.

Or, if you're truly interested in learning and finding out about it, you can always run a search... which everyone should get into the habit of doing anyway as there are very few questions that I see which haven't already been extensively discussed over the years. Back to your interest in Melanotan... if you had run a search you would have found 22 other threads discussing this product. While some only mention it in passing, others discuss it at great length.
