Tanning without UV exposure has become a priority for consumers seeking a golden glow while protecting their health and the environment. Say goodbye to the dangers of sun exposure and hello to 100% natural self-tanners that provide a gradual, radiant tan thanks to plant-based active ingredients. Discover the secrets of this new cosmetic trend of high-performance, clean beauty self-tanning products.
How does a natural Self-Tanner work?
Unlike makeup pigments that provide only a temporary colour, self-tanners work through a natural chemical reaction known as the Maillard reaction.
The principle: Self-tanning actives interact with the amino acids in the skin to form melanoidins, compounds responsible for a sun-kissed, natural-looking tan.
The result: A customisable, gradual, and safe tan suitable for all skin tones.
Among the most promising active ingredients, the combination of plant-based DHA + carob pulp stands out for its effectiveness and 100% natural origin. This synergy delivers an even, long-lasting tan while respecting the skin.
DHA & Carob Pulp
DHA: The gold standard of Self-Tanning actives
- Naturally derived: obtained from the fermentation of corn or sugarcane
- Fast-acting: reacts within hours with the skin’s amino acids
- Long-lasting effect: provides a tan that lasts for several days
Carob pulp: a natural Tanning booster
- Extracted from the carob tree, rich in melanoidin precursors
- Enhances and extends the self-tanning effect
- Provides additional hydration thanks to its natural sugar content
Why combine DHA and Carob pulp?
A more even, natural-looking tan: prevents streaks and the dreaded orange effect
- Gradual intensity: a softer, buildable tan
- Enhanced longevity: extends the duration of the tan
- Skincare benefits: hydrates the skin and prevents dryness
