Bronzers vs DHA - tanTALK

redhot · 02-18-2003, 12:52 PM

What is the ingredient name for "bronzers"?? I'd like to be able to look on the back of lotion bottles and see if they contain bronzers or not. I'm NOT talking about DHA (self-tanner) - I mean "bronzer" - for the immediate coloring.

it will say Acti-Bronzer.. Walnut extract.. copper will brown the skin when oxygen hits it if its mixed just so..... oh gosh..... several others......
DHA will say either the "brand name" for it or actualy dihydroxyacetone......
lots of extracts will brown the skin also.......
