Everything you need to know about The Organic Pharmacy Self Tan

Overview

What it is

This is a lightweight lotion designed to provide a subtle tanning effect and improve skin hydration and brightness. The product utilizes plant-based components and dihydroxyacetone (DHA) to achieve a streak-free appearance on the skin.

Key ingredients and their functions

  • Dihydroxyacetone - tanning agent
  • Butyrospermum Parkii (Shea) Butter - moisturizing agent
  • Simmondsia Chinensis (Jojoba) Seed Oil - conditioning agent
  • Cocos Nucifera (Coconut) Oil - emollient
  • Sesamum Indicum (Sesame) Seed Oil - emollient
  • Glycerin - humectant
  • Helianthus Annuus (Sunflower) Seed Oil - emollient
  • Glycine Soja (Soybean) Sterols - skin-conditioning agent

How it works

The lotion appears to work by using dihydroxyacetone (DHA) as a key tanning agent that interacts with the skin's outer layer to develop a bronzed appearance. This is complemented by moisturizing agents like shea butter, which helps to maintain skin hydration levels, and jojoba oil, which conditions the skin. Coconut and sesame seed oils act as emollients, contributing to a smooth application and feel. The formulation is further supported by glycerin, which serves as a humectant to retain moisture, while sunflower seed oil provides additional emollient properties. Soybean sterols help with skin conditioning, aiding in achieving an even, hydrated, and brightened look.
