ABOUT

CephaloMelanin™ Derived from Sepia officinalis Natural Melanin Nanoparticles

CephaloMelanin™ is a high-purity natural melanin pigment isolated from the cuttlefish (Sepia officinalis). The proprietary isolation process ensures the production of a nanoparticle formulation with a controlled particle size verified by SEM analysis.

Each batch is characterized by mean diameter, polydispersity index, structural integrity, and Zetasizer and zeta potential analyses. Sepia melanin, which preserves the natural structure of eumelanin, offers strong photoprotection, antioxidant capacity, and high biocompatibility.

Natural melanin nanoparticles are available for retail and wholesale purchase by cosmetic companies, formulation developers, R&D laboratories, academic researchers, and businesses seeking natural pigment raw materials.

LABORATORY ANALYSES

Characterized by Analyses Natural Melanin

Services were obtained from the Ege University Central Research, Testing, and Analysis Laboratory Application and Research Center (EGE-MATAL) as part of the characterization of natural melanin nanoparticles. Various laboratory analyses were used to examine the product’s particle structure, size distribution, chemical composition, and surface properties.

SEM

SEM, or Scanning Electron Microscopy, is an analytical method used to image the surface structure and particle sizes of materials in detail at the nanoscale. The surface structure and particle morphology of CephaloMelanin™ natural melanin nanoparticles are examined using SEM analysis.

Melanin Nanoparticle Size Distribution

Size distribution analysis is performed to evaluate the average particle diameter and distribution characteristics of melanin nanoparticles. This analysis helps characterize the size distribution and polydispersity of the nanoparticles.

Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) Analysis

Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) is a spectroscopic analytical method used to examine the chemical structure and functional groups of a material. FTIR analysis is used to support the chemical characterization of the natural melanin structure.

Zetasizer Analysis

Services were provided by the Ege University Central Research, Testing, and Analysis/Testing Laboratory Application and Research Center (EGE-MATAL). Zetasizer analysis is a method used to evaluate the size and size distribution characteristics of nanoparticles in a dispersion. This method is used to examine the average diameter and size distribution of natural melanin nanoparticles.

Zeta Potential Analysis

Services were obtained from the Ege University Central Research, Testing, and Analysis/Test Laboratory Application and Research Center (EGE-MATAL). Zeta potential analysis helps evaluate the surface charge and dispersion stability of particles within a dispersion. This analysis is performed to characterize the dispersion properties of natural melanin nanoparticles.

APPLICATIONS

Basic Applications

UV-Blocking Surface Coatings

Natural melanin nanoparticles can be integrated into transparent film coatings, textile applications, and dye research that do not contain synthetic UV blockers.

Cosmetics

It can be used in sunscreens that require natural antioxidants and photoprotective pigments (physical filter enhancers), anti-aging serums, hair dyes, and colored cosmetic formulations.

Medical & Biomedical

The biocompatibility and photoacoustic properties of natural melanin can be utilized in research on wound dressings, bioabsorbable implants, drug delivery systems, and photothermal therapy agents. The suitability of the product for a specific formulation or application, its usage rate, safety, and regulatory compliance should be evaluated by the relevant manufacturer or researcher.

F.A.Q.

Frequently Asked Questions

Tümünü Gör

How does SEPİIDA sunscreen provide protection?

SEPİİDA sunscreen helps reduce the effects of UV rays on the skin with the support of natural melanin and protects the skin against sun-related external factors.

Is cuttlefish melanin safe for the skin?

The natural melanin used in SEPİİDA’s formulation has been developed with skin compatibility in mind.

How often should sunscreen be renewed?

For effective sun protection, sunscreen should be reapplied every 2-3 hours on average. It should also be reapplied after swimming or excessive sweating.

Should sunscreen be used only in summer?

No. UV rays can reach the skin throughout the year. Therefore, regular sunscreen use is important for skin health, particularly in urban life and even during long days spent in front of a screen.

Does the melanin content provide extra benefits to the skin?

In addition to supporting sun protection, natural melanin helps protect the skin against free radicals through its antioxidant effect.
