SCH Actives™ Lipo Tan

Lipo Tan self-tanning active is a liposomal complex with Acetyl Hexapeptide-1. It stimulates melanin synthesis by activating tyrosinase, enhancing pigmentation without UV exposure. The active improves skin’s natural UV defense and reduces photoaging through anti-inflammatory pathways. In vitro and in vivo studies confirm its ability to support an even, healthy tan. This peptide-liposome delivery system ensures stability, bioavailability, and safe application in cosmetic formulations.
