What Makes Our Dihydroxyacetone Powder Different?

Our product is a breakthrough in sunless tan technology. It combines with keratin amino acids on the surface of the skin to produce a natural-looking bronze hue without exposing it to damaging UV radiation.

This way you avoid the dangers of photoaging and skin cancer that are connected with traditional sunbathing. The molecular framework allows progressive and even colour development 4 to 8 hours post application.

The major technological advantage is high water solubility. Our DHA is readily incorporated into spray formulations, lotions, mousses and gel systems without precipitation difficulties. The powder shows good dispersibility in aqueous solutions and stable colour performance at various pH and storage settings.

Technical Specifications

Application Scenarios You Can Explore

Self-tanning lotions benefit most from DHA's gradual tanning mechanism. Your formulations can offer consumers safe bronzing alternatives without sun damage risks.

Spray tan solutions require high-purity ingredients. Our powder dissolves completely in alcohol-water systems, preventing nozzle clogging and ensuring uniform mist application.

Tinted moisturizers combine daily skincare with subtle color enhancement. Incorporating 2-5% DHA concentration provides buildable tan effects while maintaining moisturizing benefits.

Cosmetic brands increasingly demand clean-label tanning products. Our certified Dihydroxyacetone Powder meets Kosher and Halal requirements, expanding your market reach across diverse consumer segments.

How to Handle and Store Properly?

Store powder in air-tight containers away from direct sunlight. Maximum efficacy is retained for the 24-month shelf life if stored in a controlled temperature environment of 15-25°C.

Avoid exposure to surroundings of excessive humidity. Moisture absorption might lead to early browning responses and reduce product effectiveness.

When formulating use stainless steel or glassware. Reactive metals can catalyse undesired chemical reactions that degrade colour quality.
