Product Efficacy and Application:
  • Tanning: Dihydroxyacetone (DHA) is the primary active ingredient in sunless tanning products, allowing users to achieve a tan without sun exposure. Hair Coloring: DHA can be used in hair care products to darken hair, conceal white hairs, and color hair without damaging its structure. UVA Protection: DHA has shown some UVA protection (1.7 to 2.2 UVA protection factor), but it does not protect against UVB rays.
Product Performance:
  • Dihydroxyacetone (DHA) is primarily known for its role in cosmetic products like sunless tanning lotions. It works by reacting with amino acids in the skin's surface, creating a temporary darkening effect that mimics a tan. This reaction, called the Maillard reaction, produces brown-colored pigments called melanoidins.
