Dihydroxyacetone
€9,50 – €29,60
Pure dihydroxyacetone is a popular active ingredient in self-tanning products.
Dihydroxyacetone (DHA) works in the upper layer of the skin, when combined with protein amino acid fragments, it forms pigments – melanoidins, which have a shade similar to melanin and create a tanning effect on the skin. The color obtained in this way lasts until the top layer of the skin is renewed, or it can be removed with abrasive substances (peeling). Normally, the skin acquires a lighter shade after 3-7 days after using DHA.
DHA is the main active ingredient in many self-tanners. DHA is not a pigment, it has a different effect, so it is not easily washed off. Current self-tanning products come in the form of sprays, lotions, gels, foams, and cosmetic wipes.
DHA is often used alone or less often in mixtures with other active substances (eg with erythrulose), but DHA itself is more popular because it has a stronger effect.
The usual concentration in cosmetic products is 3-5%, but there are higher concentrations – up to 20%. It all depends on the desired shade, the higher the concentration, the darker the shade. The effect is noticeable after 2-4 hours after use and the shade darkens up to 24-72 hours later.
