Melanoboost distinguishes itself through its utilisation of biomimetic peptides designed to assist the natural tanning process indoors and out.
These intelligent actives are designed to boost melanin concentration in the skin in the lead up to UV exposure.
Melanin is the pigment which makes our skin tan. Melanin is usually only produced when your skin is exposed to UV light, however the biomimetic peptides used by Melanoboost are designed to mimic melanogenesis without UV exposure which allows you to start the tanning process indoors. This is what makes the science of biomimetic tanning technology so game changing!
The more abundant your melanin levels are before you head outdoors, the better prepared your skin is for exposure to sunlight in moderate amounts, and the better its ability to tan more effectively with minimal sun exposure.
Of course, when spending time outdoors, we always recommend a balanced approach to UV exposure to maximise benefit and minimise risk, and the use sunscreen.

Over the last 10 days, Police have been notified of increasing reports of powerline theft and tampering.
Incidents occurred in multiple central locations such as Disraeli Street in Addington, the area surrounding Hillview Road and Phillips Road in Phillipstown and Brougham Street, they are as wide spanning as West Melton, Halswell, and Marshlands.
Police have informed Community Patrol and Frontline Police units on what to look out for and have communicated with businesses and residents in affected areas.
Police are also engaging with local scrap metal dealers as part of the investigation.
On multiple recent occasions powerline tampering and the theft of copper from the powerlines have led to power outages on affected streets.
Typically once the offenders get what they want, the powerlines are left in an exposed and dangerous state. In one occasion powerlines were tampered with and left broken outside of a Phillip Street Preschool. Fortunately, no one has been harmed, but as far as Police are concerned it is only a matter of time.
Senior Sergeant Roy Appley says: “Our message to offenders is to stop this behaviour before someone, including yourself, gets hurt.
“You are putting yourselves and others at extreme risk of electrocution, for such a small return.”
We are appealing to the public for any information that could assist in identifying and locating those involved.
“If you hear anything out of the ordinary overnight, do not think nothing of it.
“We need Christchurch residents to be aware of the risk of exposed or damaged wires – do not touch them and call Orion on 0800 363 9898 straight away,” says Snr Sgt Appley.
Police urge residents to ring 111 immediately if you see anyone acting suspiciously around power poles and lines, or 105 after the fact

The good news is, keeping up to date with the Covid vaccine can help protect you from serious illness. It’s free. And recommended for you and many others as long as you haven’t had the vaccine, or Covid, in the last 6 months.

North Canterbury schools say supporting children with conditions like autism, ADHD, dyslexia and anxiety is ‘‘not new’’, but there is greater understanding of neurodiversity.
A recent report from the Education Hub, an organisation which connects teachers with education research, warned schools were failing neurodivergent children.
It said the education system was broken and heading for a major crisis, and it called for more funding.
Rangiora High School head of student support Tim Heidmann said up to 15% of students had a diagnosis one or more neurodivergent conditions and/or learning difficulties.
‘‘I don’t think having neurodivergence is anything new, but our understanding has increased.
‘‘We have always had people with autism in our society, so that’s not new, but our ability to respond is better."
Heidmann said he regularly met with whānau to discuss a student’s needs and what supports were available, but this was always limited by resources.
‘‘We can be prepared and forewarned, but in terms of having specific supports, it is responsive to the needs of the child.’’
It meant the school needed to be flexible, as each students’ needs were different.
While a diagnosis helped to guide how a student might be supported, it did no excuse ‘‘bad behaviour’’, he said.
‘‘It does help us to understand why a student might be behaving in this way. It might be their way of asking for help.’’
Kaiapoi High School principal Jason Reid said staff worked out a plan to support neurodivergent students based on a range of information from whānau, previous schools and outside agencies.
‘‘If we know what techniques have worked well and what techniques have been ineffective, we can use that to work out a pathway of learning.
‘‘A lot of it is about putting good information in teachers’ hands.’’
Catering for the diverse needs in a modern classroom provides a challenge for teachers, who are more aware than ever that one size does not fit all, Reid said.
‘‘We were discussing the other day whether there is a greater proportion of neurodivergent students than ever before.
‘‘Our group could not agree on a straightforward ‘yes' or ‘no' answer to this question.
‘‘It seems there is a greater proportion of our community who are neurodiverse.
‘‘However, are we just better at identifying neurodiversity, are we more aware of what neurodiversity looks like?’’
Reid said in the past what we now define as neurodivergent may have been identified ‘‘in different ways, or not at all’’.
Community Wellbeing North Canterbury Trust manager Deirdre Ryan advised parents who were concerned about their children to contact their GP for advice in the first instance.
The trust worked collaboratively with local schools offering a range of services, including being a Mana Ake (years 1 to 8) and a Manu Ka Rere (13-24 years) provider.
Both programmes offer mental health support in schools.
Support was also available through Parent to Parent (parent2parent.org.nz), Autism New Zealand (autismnz.org.nz) and ADHD New Zealand (adhd.org.nz).
