Scientists at Northwestern University have developed a "super melanin" skin cream that can continuously heal sun damage and chemical burns. The synthetic melanin cream mimics the natural melanin in human skin and can be topically applied to injured skin, accelerating wound healing. It protects the skin from sun exposure and scavenges free radicals, which can cause skin aging and cancer. The cream has shown promising results in healing blistering and open sores, while also calming inflammation and boosting the immune system. The synthetic melanin may have potential applications in protecting against toxins and radiation burns, and it has been found to be non-irritating to human skin.

Scientists at Northwestern University have developed a synthetic melanin that mimics the natural melanin in human skin. When applied topically, the synthetic melanin accelerates wound healing and protects the skin from sun exposure and damage caused by sunburn or chemical burns. The synthetic melanin acts as a sponge, scavenging free radicals that can cause inflammation and cell damage. It also quiets the immune system, allowing for active healing. The cream could potentially be used for blisters and open sores, and may have applications in treating skin burns from radiation exposure and cancer patients undergoing radiation therapy.
