Ingredient Corner – DHA

Natural Self-Tanning is Here….

Dihydroxyacetone (DHA) is a naturally occurring substance found in plant and animals cells. When applied to the skin, DHA reacts with peptides and amino acids in the horny layer to generate a brown polymer called melanoidin. Groups of these melanoidins produce a safe, natural looking tan without the need for damaging sun or UV exposure.

Here at CoValence, we use a 100% all-natural DHA that is produced using a Gluten and GMO-free fermentation process. Our safe and eco-friendly self-tanning products can give your skin that sun kissed look, sans the skin damage. Speak to your Account Executive today about formulating with all-natural DHA.
