What is the active ingredient in self tan and what does it do to your skin?

  • Our self-tanning products contain Dihydroxyacetone (DHA) and, in some formulations, Erythrulose – both naturally derived. These active ingredients react with the amino acids in the outer layer of your skin, creating a temporary browning effect that results in a natural-looking tan without sun exposure. The tan gradually develops over a few hours and fades evenly as your skin renews itself.
