DHA self-tan mousse, face drops and gradual body lotion OEM

Custom OEM / ODM · Self-tan

The three variants share DHA chemistry but need different dose control, streak testing and moisturization. Self-tan color does not provide UV protection.

Formula, format & packaging options

Published reference values describe the cited ingredient or study. They are not test results for a FANGKE finished formula. Project options are selections to review in your development brief.

Fast-developing DHA self-tan mousse

Low-viscosity DHA solution with humectants and optional guide color, dispensed through a mechanical foamer; 'fast' is defined only after color-time testing.

Product format
Mechanical-pump mousse, 100–200 mL

100–200 mL non-aerosol foamer with low-metal-contact flow path

Supplier process benchmark5% DHA, addition below 40°C and pH 4.5 in a representative lotionPublished reference[2]

Checks for the selected formula

  • Measure DHA assay/degradation, pH, color curve at multiple skin tones, streaking and odor through stability.
  • Validate foam density, output, collapse, pump compatibility and consumer application/drying instructions.

Destination-market notes

'Fast-developing' must specify the measured window and shade endpoint. The product does not protect from UV and must not be presented as sunscreen.

DHA face tanning drops

Concentrated aqueous DHA drops intended for measured direct use or mixing only when the instructions and dose have been safety-tested.

Product format
Concentrated fluid drops, 15–30 mL
Packaging route

Checks for the selected formula

  • Verify drop/pump mass, dose uniformity, mixing compatibility with named bases and facial tolerance.
  • Track DHA assay, pH, color/odor and package interaction under light, heat and repeated opening.

Destination-market notes

Face-dose clarity is critical. Avoid vague 'mix with anything' directions because moisturizer quantity and incompatible actives can change dose and stability.

Gradual DHA self-tan body lotion

Moisturizing O/W lotion with lower DHA load and optional Erythrulose, designed for buildable color over repeated applications.

Product format
Body lotion, 150–250 mL

Checks for the selected formula

  • Map color build and fade across repeated applications, multiple skin tones and common application errors.
  • Run DHA assay, emulsion/preservative stability, odor and pump/tube compatibility through shelf-life conditions.

Destination-market notes

Position as buildable cosmetic color and moisturization. State that it is not sunscreen; shade, frequency and wash-off/fade expectations require consumer testing.

Project questions

Does a self-tanner replace sunscreen?

No. DHA changes the appearance of the outer skin layer but does not provide the tested UV protection of a sunscreen. The product and directions must keep those functions separate.

Do source-reference values describe a ready Fangke formula?

No. They are traceable supplier, regulatory or research benchmarks. Formula ownership, raw-material grade, dosage, pilot feasibility, MOQ, lead time, claims and destination-market status are confirmed only for the individual project.

Which tests are included before commercialization?

The program is set after the formula, pack, intended use and market are known. Typical work includes specifications, stability, pack compatibility, microbiological quality or preservative efficacy and safety review. SPF, brightening, wrinkle or other performance claims need dedicated substantiation.

Technical references & source scope

These references support ingredient selection, formulation questions and market review. A quoted study, supplier test or regulatory limit does not establish finished-product efficacy or approval.

  1. SCCS opinion on Dihydroxyacetone (DHA) European Commission Scientific Committee on Consumer Safety

    SCCS considered DHA safe up to 10% in self-tanning lotion and face cream under the assessed conditions. This is a safety ceiling for that opinion, not a recommended dose or a global market authorization.

  2. Self Tan Body Lotion L103-7.1-0123 Evonik

    Representative supplier lotion uses 5% DHA, adds the DHA phase below 40°C and adjusts to pH 4.5. It is a development benchmark, not a Fangke formula or a guarantee of color outcome, stability or market compliance.
