DHA (dihydroxyacetone) is a commonly used cosmetic ingredient for the production of self-tanning products. In cosmetics, it is used in products that are designed to gradually create a color tone on the skin surface after application to the skin. It is used in facial and body cosmetics, both in products for full-surface application and in preparations for topical use.
DHA allows the creation of self-tanning cosmetics with a controlled composition, suitable for both home and professional production.

The finished product must be formulated at a slightly acidic pH to ensure the stability of the raw material. It is recommended to work with precise dosage according to the type of product. It is advisable to store finished products in opaque packaging.
