Questions

dihydroxyacetone or DHA as it is commonly known?
Dihydroxyacetone is an ingredient derived from sugar beets and sugar cane
through a fermentation process.
When was DHA
discovered?
DHA as a skin
coloring agent was discovered in the 1920's by German scientists. In the 1950's
it was given orally to children that had glycerin storage disease. Health
workers treating the children noted a brown staining or tanning on the chins of

How does self tanning
work?

effect of dihydroxyacetone is non-toxic and comes from a Maillard reaction. It

1912 by Louis-Camille Maillard. DHA reacts chemically with the amino acid
groups, which are part of the protein containing keratin layer on the skin
surface. Various amino acids react differently to DHA, producing different
tones of coloration from yellow to brown. The resulting pigments are called
melanoidins. These are similar in coloration to melanin, the natural substance
in the deeper skin layers which brown or "tan", from exposure to UV
rays.
