What is DHA?

Dihydroxyacetone or for short DHA, is the primary ingredient in most sunless tanning products.  It is often derived from a plants source such as sugar beets.  DHA simply reacts with the amino acids in your skin.  DHA does not penetrate your skin and studies show that it does not penetrate deeper than your dead skin surface layer.   In simple terms, DHA reacts with the amino acids in your skin to create a brown or bronze color.  Not all DHA ingredients in spray tan solutions are the same which is why you will see different colors when using different spray tan solutions.  The higher the quality of ingredients in your spray tan solution the better and longer lasting the results.   Sunless tanning solutions can range from 1% DHA to 15% DHA, one percent being the lowest concentration and 15% is the highest.  This means that the lower percentage of DHA will be a very light glow  and the 15% will be a very dark, rich brown tan.   Our spray tan technicians will use sunless tanning solutions that range from 6% to 12%.  Most clients can achieve the desired results from within this range.  The sunless tanning products we stock have DHA in them as well but a much smaller dosage.   The main health hazard in spray tan solutions and cosmetics are parabens.  Parabens are the most widely used preservatives in personal care products.  There are many concerns about the safety of parabens which is why we use sunless spray tan solutions that are organic and paraben free.   Take a look below to read about the ingredients in our sunless tanning solutions: Our sunless tanning solution includes the following ingredients:
