Dihydroxyacetone manufacturer

A quick and easy way to get a healthy wheat-skin tone is to apply a tanning product. When selecting a tanning product, people tend to choose different products based on the degree of color they want to achieve. In fact, the main efficacy substance of most products is dihydroxyacetone(DHA). The dosage of dihydroxyacetone(DHA) added determines the final degree of coloration of the product on the skin. So what's the mechanism of dihydroxyacetone discoloration on the skin? Dihydroxyacetone and proteins in the skin undergo a Malanin reaction, turning the cuticle proteins brown.The specific reaction principle is as follows: Dihydroxyacetone(DHA) does not damage the skin, and is considered a safe skin coloring agent. The color is not removed by simple washing, swimming, or natural perspiration, but it only lasts for 5 to 7 days, as skin cells are continuously being shed. Exfoliation, tape stripping, prolonged water submersion, or heavy sweating can lighten the tan, as these all contribute to rapid dead skin cell pealing. Today, dihydroxyacetone(DHA) is the main active ingredient in virtually all sunless tanning skincare preparations. The above pictures were taken from some subjects in a clinical experiment of DropBio. The coloring was recorded after 3 consecutive times (once a day) of using Instant Tanning Mousse with 10% DropBio@ DHA, and the subsequent fading was continuously recorded. So Dihydroxyacetone(DHA) is a very effective ingredient for self-tanning.  

In the pursuit of a healthy complexion and natural tan, self-tanning products have increasingly become a popular choice. Whether aiming to achieve a uniform and long-lasting tan or hoping to avoid the harmful effects of ultraviolet radiation, self-tanning products offer a variety of solutions. This article introduces two self-tanning products—DropBio® Selftan 50 and DropBio® DHA OilS—and explores their principles, properties, and practical effects.   DropBio® Selftan 50 is a self-tanning agent derived from natural fermentation sources, with dihydroxyacetone as its main ingredient. It reacts chemically with the proteins in the stratum corneum of the skin, similar to the "Maillard reaction," to form a natural brown hue on the skin surface. This reaction is slow and gentle, providing a natural, long-lasting, and streak-free tanning effect. Its features include a natural fermentation source, safety, mildness, and being odorless, making it ideal for users seeking a natural self-tanning experience.   DropBio® DHA OilS is a multifunctional self-tanning ingredient that, in addition to offering self-tanning effects, also provides sun protection. It protects the skin from long-wave ultraviolet radiation (UVA) and offers a UVA protection factor ranging from 1.7 to 2.2, depending on its concentration. This product is not only suitable for self-tanning but can also be used to mask hypopigmented macules caused by conditions such as vitiligo. Furthermore, it provides a durable coloring effect during the self-tanning process, helping users achieve a natural skin tone change while avoiding excessive exposure to sunlight.   In conclusion, self-tanning products can indeed provide safe and effective tanning results. Whether seeking a natural and uniform skin tone or additional sun protection, choosing the right self-tanning product can meet your needs. Through scientific formulations and gentle chemical reactions, these products can help you achieve your desired tanning effect without harming the skin.       If you are interested in our products and want to know more details, please contact judyzhou@drop-bio.com.
