DHA is listed in the Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FD&C Act) as a color additive for use in imparting color to the human body. However, its use in cosmetics - including sunless “tanning” products - is restricted to external applications. According to CFR “externally applied” cosmetics are those “applied only to external parts of the body and not to the lips or any body surface covered by mucous membrane” (21 CFR 70.3v)
DHA reacts with the skin’s amino acids resulting in a “tan” similar looking to that of the sun. The darker you tan naturally, the darker you can tan with a spray tan. Like most cosmetics, avoid exposure to the eyes, lips, and other parts of the body covered with a mucous membrane. This should be accomplished by following artist’s breathing instructions as to avoid inhaling or ingesting the sunless product.
Your spray tan should last 5-10 days, depending on your skin type and how well you take care of your sunless tan. It’s very important to keep your skin moisturized after your spray tan, avoiding long baths or showers and hot tubs. Salt water exposure or a chlorinated pool can also shorten your spray tan.
Be advised there may be a small percentage of individuals whose skin does not react favorable to spray tanning. Some medications such as birth control pills, hormone replacement medications, or antibiotics may alter your tan, Please consult with your artist if you have any questions.
