Self-Tanning Agent with Natural Results
Dihydroxyacetone is primarily used as a self-tanning agent. When applied to the skin, it interacts with the amino acids and amino groups found in sweat, keratin, and skin proteins. This reaction forms coloured melanoidins, providing a natural-looking tan. The resulting tan closely resembles a sun-kissed glow, offering a safer alternative to sun exposure.
