WHAT YOU SHOULD KNOW ABOUT DHA
Recent product formulations and enhancements have created a new generation of sunless tanning products. The active ingredient in today's sunless tanning products is dihydroxyacetone (DHA), a clear liquid that reacts with the amino acids in your skin to develop color. DHA, typically derived from plant based sources such as sugar beets, obtained FDA approval as a skin safe coloring agent for consumer use 30 years ago. It has been safely used in thousands of cosmetic products worldwide as an alternative to a UV based tan.
