DHA is the active ingredient in the most effective sunless tanning products. DHA is typically derived from a natural source. When DHA is applied to the skin, it causes a reaction with the amino acids in the outermost layer and changes its color.

DHA is FDA-approved for external use only. It sticks to the top layer of skin and isn’t thought to be absorbed past that. To be safe, we require pregnant women to bring a note from their doctor to get spray tanned.

DHA is not recommended for contact to areas of the body surface covered by mucous membranes such as lips, eyes, nostrils, and private parts. If desired, proper eye, nose, mouth protection, and undergarments are available at your discretion.
