Achieve a sun-kissed glow with Tanbest® DHA

 

Tanbest® DHA is dihydroxyacetone. It’s a safe sunless skin-tanning product which is a simple three carbon compound produced by the fermentation of glycerin. It reacts with free amino groups of keratin in the corneum of the epidermis to achieve a dyeing effect, which is called the Maillard Reaction, and the mechanism is similar to the natural sunlight tanning kinetics while without sun exposure, protecting your delicate skin from UVs.

Tanbest® DHA is the main active ingredient in virtually all sunless tanning skincare products.
