Organic Self-Tanning Drops

DHA - Dihydroxyacetone

100% natural and obtained by fermentation, DHA reacts with the amino acids present in the upper layer of the skin (the stratum corneum) to form brown compounds called melanoidins, which give the skin a colour similar to that of a natural tan, but without exposure to the sun. This is the same type of reaction as the 'Maillard reactions' responsible for the browning or 'caramelisation' of food when cooked. This mechanism is completely different from the natural tanning mechanism (production of melanin). DHA only colours the stratum corneum and fades naturally as the cells renew themselves.

Erythrulose

Erythrulose

Obtained from maize, this sugar, like DHA, reacts with amino acids in the stratum corneum of the epidermis to naturally colour the skin a pretty golden glow. Coupled with DHA, erythrulose boosts the product's tanning action and gives the skin a more golden hue with no orange tones. Erythrulose ensures an even, streak-free tan and prolongs the tanning effect on the skin.

Brown seaweed extract & trace elements

Brown seaweed extract & trace elements

Derived from brown seaweed and complexed with trace elements (manganese and magnesium), this complex stimulates melanin synthesis and increases the number of melanocytes, with or without sun exposure. It also helps combat the damage caused by UV exposure.
