Everything you need to know about Neutrogena MicroMist Airbrush Sunless Tan

Overview

What it is

MicroMist® Airbrush Sunless Tan is a spray application product designed to provide an even, temporary tan without the need for sun exposure. It is applied using a fine mist spray that aims to cover the skin uniformly, allowing for hard-to-reach areas to be tanned easily. The formulation dries quickly and is intended not to obstruct pores.

Key ingredients and their functions

  • Witch Hazel Water - astringent
  • Dihydroxyacetone - tanning agent
  • Ethoxydiglycol - solvent
  • Dimethyl Isorbide - solvent
  • Dipropylene Glycol - humectant
  • Isoceteth 20 - emulsifier
  • Methyl Gluceth 20 - humectant
  • Sodium PCA - humectant

How it works

The product uses a combination of ingredients to achieve a temporary tanning effect on the skin. Witch Hazel Water works as an astringent, possibly helping to prepare the skin. Dihydroxyacetone interacts with the amino acids on the surface of the skin to impart a tanned appearance. Ethoxydiglycol and Dimethyl Isorbide serve as solvents, helping to dissolve and deliver the active ingredients evenly. Dipropylene Glycol, Methyl Gluceth 20, and Sodium PCA function as humectants, helping the skin retain moisture. Isoceteth 20 acts as an emulsifier, ensuring that the formulation stays well-mixed for an even application.
