Tantasia natural self-tanner: ;is
formula works with the user’s own
melanin to develop a safe, long-lasting
and natural tan. Acetyl tyrosine and
Monk’s Pepper are said to stimulate
melanin synthesis, allowing the
developing shade to mimic the user’s
natural tanned color. According to
the company, the contribution of
both ingredients activates a regular,
even and persistent tan while
simultaneously enhancing the natural
protection factor of the skin against
UV radiation. Further, wheat protein is
included to provide soothing, natural
hydration and vegetable-sourced
natural silicone to impart a silky
feeling. ;is product is reportedly free
from any a;er-scent, and has been
sensitivity-tested for use on the body
or face.
