How it works

The product functions through the key ingredient dihydroxyacetone, which interacts with proteins on the skin's surface to develop a temporary color, giving the appearance of a tan. Tocopheryl acetate and ascorbic acid serve as antioxidants, potentially aiding in protecting the skin's surface from environmental factors. Melaleuca alternifolia (tea tree) leaf oil is included primarily for its fragrance properties. Cucumis sativus (cucumber) fruit extract is noted for its potential soothing characteristics, which may help maintain skin comfort during application. Ethoxydiglycol and propylene glycol act as solvents to help dissolve other ingredients, facilitating an even application, while butylene glycol serves as a humectant to help retain moisture in the skin.
