Storage method

Store in a cool and dry place.

Synthesis method

1. Melatonin exists in the pineal gland of the mammalian brain. The general method is to freeze-dry the pineal gland of the bovine brain, grind it into powder, and remove it with petroleum ether. Fat, mix evenly with deionized water to form a slurry. After centrifugation, take the supernatant and extract it with an equal volume of ethyl acetate. The extract is vacuum dried to obtain crude white melatonin, which is then recrystallized. Then you get the best product.

Purpose

1. Mainly used in whitening and moisturizing cosmetics, and also commonly used in hair growth products. The amount added to cosmetics is 0.05%.
