“Melanin is a broadband UV absorbent, it has antioxidant and radical scavenging properties.” The graph below illustrates the percentage of free radicals that can be removed from the body simply due to the amount of ACTIVE MELANIN a person has.
In this example it is illustrating the differences in super-pigmented skin versus light (white skin).
The importance of activated melanin cannot be stressed enough. Darker 
super- pigmented skin has 35% less free radical production in the skin than lighter pigment.
Without Active Melanin- not only do you subject yourself to additional exposure to the solar rays, but also the inner biology of the body is also under attack by free radicals due to pollution, chemicals in food, alcohol, and drugs. With Active Melanin there is an additional benefit, and this is what is so important to pigmented people of the world.
