Biocyte Terracotta Tanning Supplement Capsules are a food supplement from the French laboratory Biocyte, built around a double source of melanin taken from black olive and black wool. The box holds 30 capsules, one a day for a 30-day program, to take before, during and after the sunny season.

Key Benefits

  • Double melanin source: the Melaskin complex combines black olive extract and naturally pigmented keratin.
  • Short ingredient list: Melaskin, L-tyrosine and copper in a plant-based capsule.
  • One capsule a day: taken with a meal and a large glass of water.
  • Seasonal routine: designed by Biocyte to start one month before sun exposure.
  • Sunscreen partner: Biocyte states that it never replaces a sunscreen suited to your skin.

Key Ingredients

Each capsule provides 115 mg of the Melaskin complex, made of black olive extract from France and a naturally pigmented keratin hydrolysate from black wool, with 100 mg of L-tyrosine, an amino acid, and copper bisglycinate. The capsule shell is plant-based.

Biocyte advises against using Terracotta Tanning during pregnancy. Ask your doctor or pharmacist for advice.
