THE SCIENCE BEHIND MELAVIE
Where melanin-rich skin belongs.
Understanding the science behind melanin-blessed skin.
Melanocytes are located in the basal layer of the epidermis, the outermost layer of our skin. They produce a pigment called melanin, which is what gives our skin its colour. People with darker skin have more melanin-producing cells and produce more melanin than those with lighter skin.
Melanin-rich skin is prone to hyperpigmentation which shows up as discoloured patches on the face and body, often referred to as ‘dark spots.’ Skin blessed with more active melanocytes may need more advanced ingredients to help even out skin tone, reduce sebum and give skin a healthy glow.
