The Science Behind Spray Tanning: Understanding DHA's Magic
Welcome to Coco Tan Co.'s blog, where we delve into the fascinating science behind spray tanning. At the heart of the magic is DHA (dihydroxyacetone), the key ingredient responsible for creating that beautiful, sun-kissed glow. In this blog, we'll explore how DHA works, its safety, and why Coco Tan Co. stands as your go-to destination for safe and effective sunless tanning.
The Power of DHA
DHA is a colorless sugar derived from beets and sugar cane. When applied to the skin, it interacts with the amino acids in the top layer of the skin, producing a browning effect known as the Maillard reaction. This chemical reaction is entirely harmless and creates a tan that looks natural and evenly distributed.
Safety and Approval
The safety of DHA has been thoroughly studied and approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for external use. DHA is non-toxic and does not penetrate beyond the outermost layer of the skin. It is important to note that while DHA is safe for topical use, it should not be ingested or applied to mucous membranes or sensitive areas.
Understanding the Tanning Process
During your spray tan session at Coco Tan Co., our expert technicians apply a fine mist of DHA-infused solution to your skin. As the DHA interacts with the amino acids in your skin's surface, a beautiful tan develops. The tan typically lasts for 5 to 10 days, depending on your skin type and aftercare.
