The detail on Tanbest DHA
from SpecChem
Tanbest™ DHA – (1, 3-Dihydroxyacetone)
When DHA is applied to the skin, it causes a chemical reaction with amino acids in the surface cells producing a darkening effect (Maillard reaction).
DHA does not damage skin as it only affects the outermost cells of the epidermis (stratum corneum). The brown colouring appears after a reaction time of 2 hours; it can not be washed off, but fades as the upper layers of the epidermis are shed.
The best self tanning agent for gaining a natural tan-like appearance without sun exposure.
﹒Significant and proven photoprotection to UVA due to the cutaneous pigmentation induced by DHA.
﹒Incorporation in skin care formulations for daily use to prepare or to prolong the suntan.
Usage levels:
- 2 – 5% DHA in day care applications.
- 5 – 8% DHA in classical self-tanning products.
- 8 – 15% DHA in spray-tanning applications.
DHA should be processed cold (<35 ℃) and is incorporated into the aqueous phase or into the finished formulation. Slightly acidic pH of ca.4, ensures stability of DHA.
