About

A natural keto-sugar — produces a gentler, more even self-tan than DHA alone, with less orange-tone risk. Topically well-tolerated; same general spray-inhalation caveat applies as for DHA.

Skin benefits

  • Subtle, streak-free sunless tan
  • Pairs with DHA for natural color
  • Lower irritation than DHA-only formulas

Known concerns

  • Avoid inhalation in spray-tan format
  • Mild free-radical generation
  • Tan is not UV-protective
  • Color builds slowly (24–48h)
