Acetyl Hexapeptide-1 is a synthetic peptide used in skincare, often liposomally encapsulated, to promote an even, long-lasting tan by stimulating melanin production. It mimics the action of alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (α-MSH), which triggers melanocytes in the skin to produce melanin, the pigment responsible for tanning. This results in a natural-looking tan with minimal UV exposure
