How Does Spray Tanning Work. The 2 main layers of the skin are epidermis on the surface and dermis one layer below that. All types of tanning, whether it is UV based or sunless takes place in the epidermis layer. The epidermis is made up of a number of layers. The deepest layer in the epidermis is the stratum basale (basal layer) and is affected during UV tanning. The stratum corneum (horny layer) is the outermost layer of the epidermis and is targeted by most sunless tanning products on the market today. The American Academy of Dermatology states that the most effective sunless products available have Dihydroxyacetone (DHA) as the active ingredient. DHA is a colourless sugar extract that interacts with the dead cells located in the stratum corneum of the epidermis. As the sugar extract interacts with the dead skin cells, a colour change occurs.

The subtle Naturasun formulae contain the active ingredient Dihydroxyacetone (DHA). As stated, DHA is a safe and natural sugar based product that works in harmony with the amino acids on the outer layer of the skin. The natural reaction between the Naturasun DHA products and the skin results in creating the desired effect of a natural, bronzed, tanned appearance without the damage caused by tanning from UV rays.

DHA has been an active ingredient in tanning lotions for over 50 years. The revolutionary element is the quality of the Naturasun liquid incorporated with the ingredient DHA and the process of application. The combination of both results in a perfectly even and streak free natural, bronzed tan. The sun spray is then applied to the body as a spray.
