  • "The Dana-Farber researchers also showed that tans acquired through forskolin conferred significant protection against skin cancer caused by exposure to UV light. Fisher notes that while it is unknown whether forskolin will penetrate deeply enough in human skin to activate melanocytes, these results suggest that the search for other substances that do reach deep into the skin may well have the same pigmentation effects in people."

    this part looks promising. hopefully they'll release it soon for other uses. like they did with that hair stuff for baldness, and viagra - both which were originally created for something else..
  • This is a press release about how a group of researchers were able to pigment fair skinned mice using Forskolin.

    "cAMP then stimulates melanocytes to turn on a large number of genes, causing a pigment called melanin to be produced."
