What is DHA – active tanning ingredient?
DHA (dihydroxyacetone) is the active ingredient used in sunless tanning products. It is a sugar molecule that reacts to the amino acids on the surface of the skin. The level of DHA controls how dark and natural the color looks. Too much DHA can lead to a “rusty”, irregular look. Too little DHA results in an ineffective tan that fades too quickly. XEN-TAN uses a high level of DHA but is carefully formulated for a dark, natural tan – balanced with moisturizing oils to guarantee a smooth, streak-free application and tan.
