Different types of
sunless tanning products
·
Bronzers - Cosmetic bronzers powders and moisturizers, once
applied, create a tan that can easily be removed with soap and water.
·
Tanning Lotions and Sprays - Perhaps the most effective
sunless tanning products are lotions and sprays containing dihydroxyacetone
(DHA) as the active ingredient.
·
Tanning Pills - Tanning pills typically contain the pigment
canthaxanthin. Although the FDA has approved the use of canthaxanthin as a
color additive in food, it has not approved its use as a tanning agent.
·
Tanning Accelerators - Most tanning accelerators are
lotions or pills that contain the amino acid tyrosine. |
