yeah and can safe a lot of money!

Here is the ingredient list from the product I bought from "Never Over the Hill":
 
Water, Jojoba Esters, Vitex Agnus Cactus Extract, Acetyl Tyrosine, Glycerin, Alcohol, Hydrolyzed Jojoba Esters, Macadamia Integrifolia Seed Oil, Ethoxydiglycol, Jojoba Oil PEG-150 Esters, Carbomer, Disodium EDTA, Methylisothiazolinone.
 
I asked John which of those ingredients make up the Melanobronze.  He replied:
 
"The correct cosmetic "INCI" name for MelanoBronze is:  Vitex Agnus Castus Extract (and) Acetyl Tyrosine (and) Glycerin (and) Alcohol (and) Water."

i might consider doing this too. i wonder what is the importance of alcohol in its mixture. whitebb, have you thought about this for when you'll make your own lotion? where do you think you will source it and what kind and also the glycerin too?

The DHA inside the product is doing it's work. My skin is beginning to get a DHA-based coloring.
 
I will stop using the product from Soraya as soon as my trial-amount of MelanoBronze arrives.

Years ago tanning accelerators containing Tyrosine were removed from the market place as they were linked with skin cancer.If you search Tyrosine and safety,you will find people with history of skin cancer are advised not to supplement with  Tyrosine.I used accelerators containing Tyrosine and was able to tan(admittedly very light tan) for the first time ever.I was a type one,and now am a type 2 skin.Tan lightly,burn readily without sun screen.

I received a sample (100ml) of pure MelanoBronze. I mixed 20g with 180g body lotion for a total concentration of 10% MelanoBronze.  
 
I use this special creme twice a day on my face. I will expect results to happen whithin one month.
 
Until now the tanning effect is caused by the DHA which is inside the Soraya product.

The products i used was like a moisturizer,and you applied twice daily for at least 14 days before sun exposure.The products were 'removed from the shelves' after several years of use, much to my horror as they definitley gave me colour(nothing like what people experience with the peptides)I assumed that meant' banned'.I was told there was a possible link to skin cancer from usage.I have e-mailed the companies to see if they have done any studies on long term effects,etc from usage and will report back if they respond.

good good good. full steam ahead with the melanobronze then!
 
do you have any skin conditions currently (especially on your face)? -rosacea, eczema, psoriasis etc that might be exacerbated by this cream?
 
i'd love to see you go all the way with this trial, and would be good if you saw results without side effects.
 
after time, once you have accumulated a decent amount of cream on your face it would be interesting to see what effect some additional UV would have. after all it was part of one of the protocols in that trial. have you thought about this at all?
 
good work so far with the trial. it's appreciated.  

how's it going? any updates?

thanks for updating, have you taken any 'before' pictures of your face for comparison? you took a before picture of your arm -are you using the product in this area too or not?
 
all the best to you
