Melatonin for Facial Skin

Regarding your question about using Melatonin Forte on the face, according to the product description, Melatonin Forte is specifically recommended for hair growth products. Its formulation is designed for that purpose.

However, Pure-Melatonin™ (Odorless, White Powder) is described as suitable for "any skin care products," which includes facial applications. Melatonin itself has antioxidant properties and can be well-absorbed into the skin, offering potential benefits for skin health and anti-aging.

You mentioned experiencing irritation with the Pure Melatonin powder. This is likely because raw powder needs to be properly dissolved and formulated into a suitable base (like a serum, cream, or lotion) at the correct concentration. Applying powder directly can cause irritation.

If you wish to use Pure Melatonin powder for facial skin, it must be incorporated into a cosmetic formulation. The recommended usage rate for Pure-Melatonin™ (Odorless, White Powder) in skincare products is 0.1-3%. It is advisable to start with a lower concentration, such as 0.1%, especially if you have sensitive skin or have experienced irritation before, and gradually increase if needed and tolerated.

Remember to properly dissolve the powder in a suitable solvent (like some oils or glycols mentioned in the product description) before incorporating it into your final formulation. Ensure the final product is stored away from air, sunlight, and heat to maintain the stability of Melatonin.

In summary:

• Melatonin Forte is recommended for hair growth.
• Pure-Melatonin™ (Odorless, White Powder) is suitable for facial skincare when properly formulated.
• Irritation from the powder is likely due to direct application; it needs to be dissolved and formulated.
• Use Pure-Melatonin™ (Odorless, White Powder) at a concentration of 0.1-3% in facial formulations, starting low (e.g., 0.1%) if sensitive.
