DHA
Dihydroxyacetone (DHA) is a colorless sugar and the main active in self-tanning products. It reacts with amino acids in the stratum corneum to create a temporary brown pigment. This pigment
Lipo Tan self-tanning active is a liposomal complex with Acetyl Hexapeptide-1. It stimulates melanin synthesis by activating tyrosinase, enhancing pigmentation without UV exposure. The active improves skin’s natural UV defense and reduces photoaging through anti-inflammatory pathways. In vitro and in vivo studies confirm its ability to support an even, healthy tan. This peptide-liposome delivery system ensures stability, bioavailability, and safe application in cosmetic formulations.

Erythrulose is an aqueous solution of erythrulose, a low-molecular-weight tetrose keto-sugar. Formulators use it in self-tanning systems to generate gradual surface coloration. Non-enzymatic Maillard-type reactions drive tan formation. Free amino
