Also known as DHA, ECOCERT-approved Dihydroxyacetone is sourced from the fermentation of vegetable glycerin. When applied to the skin, DHA causes a non-toxic chemical reaction with the skin to produce a tan on the outermost layer of the epidermis.
This plant-derived lipid agent consists of hydroxyproline (natural amino acid essential for skin collagen synthesis) & palmitic acid (natural fatty acid). It has lasting firming & moisturizing effects, powerful anti-wrinkle action by stimulating contraction of collagen fibres, inhibition of age promoting elastase enzymes, inhibition of free radicals and maintains integrity of the skin barrier.
