dha in self tanner

DHA (dihydroxyacetone) is the active ingredient that reacts with your skin’s amino acids to create a natural-looking tan. GlowPro formulas use professional-grade DHA for longer-lasting, non-orange results — and we’re the only brand that discloses our DHA % for transparency.

The amount of DHA in a product correlates to you how dark the tan will be. 14% is the maximum concentration of DHA the skin can absorb. Checkout the About page for more info on the science of self tanner.

That depends on your natural skin tone and your tanning experience, plus your desired results! We have a quick DHA matchTanning Quizto help you chooseor here's a basic guide

  • 6% DHA: light/medium skin tones or first-time tanners
  • 10% DHA: medium/tan tones or regular self-tanners
  • 14% DHA: deep tan or experienced users wanting a spray-tan-level result


If you still aren’t sure, ASK! Reach out through Instagram or Email with a picture of your natural skin tone and we’ll give you a DHA recommendation! Include your self tanner experience level and what type of tan result you're looking for.

Most self tanners only contain 5-8% DHA and rely on heavy instant bronzers that rub off on your clothes and rinse off in the first shower. GlowPro Tans uses professional-strength DHA concentrations (the same active ingredient used in salon spray tans), so you get a deeper, longer-lasting glow at home — without messy bronzers, streaks, or orange tones. Every formula is transparent about DHA %, so you know exactly what you’re getting.

14% DHA solution is a high concentration designed to react with virtually all available amino acids in a single, heavy application, reaching the natural saturation limit for a person's skin tone. Any excess solution beyond this point will not result in a darker tan and will simply wash off during the first shower.

GlowPro gives you the same professional-strength formula as a spray tan, but at home — for a fraction of the cost. You’re in control of depth, application, and maintenance.

Application & Usage

Yes! Our Face Mist and Tan Drops are specifically designed for delicate facial skin. You can also mix the 40% DHA Tanning Drops into your daily moisturizer for a custom glow.

GlowPro Mousse comes in large 200ml bottles. Our average consumer gets 12+ full body applications out of one bottle!

GlowPro 6% DHA No-Rinse Lotion provides 10+ full body applications on average.

GlowPro 8% Facial Tanning Mist provides 20+ applications.

GlowPro SoulShine Tanning Drops provide 20+ facial applications and varied body applications.

GlowPro’s 6% DHA No-Rinse Lotion is perfect for first-time tanners — buildable, streak-free, and easy to apply with no rinse required.

GlowPro’s professional-strength self tanning mousse is a no-transfer formula designed with minimal instant bronzer (just enough to see where you're applying) to prevent staining clothes or sheets. Unlike traditional self tanners that rely on heavy cosmetic bronzers, GlowPro’s light guide color delivers a streak-free, transfer-resistant tan while it develops.

There’s a very low risk of color transfer during development (especially if you wear loose, dark clothing), and once you’ve done your first rinse, your tan is fully set — no rub-off, no streaks, and no orange residue.

Reapply tanning mousse lightly over streaky areas to create a cohesive tan. If you want to remove excess tanner from a patchy area, your best bet will be this gentle exfoliating mitt to even out the color. And remember, hydrated skin = smoother fade.

Most GlowPro tans last 5–7 days depending on skin prep and aftercare. Keeping skin moisturized and using a boosting lotion will allow your tan to last 10+ days.

Yes! While GlowPro’s tanning mousses are designed with professional strength DHA so you don't need as many layers as you do with other brands, you can absolutely layer if you want an even richer glow. For extra depth, simply apply a second layer of the tanning mousse or use the Tan Boosting Lotion to enhance and extend your color.

GlowPro tanning mousses are fragrance free and there is no smell to the product! Many users report no smell while some users notice a mild tanning or DHA odor as the product develops on the skin — this is completely normal and occurs naturally when DHA interacts with your skin’s amino acids. The intensity of this odor varies depending on your skin type, body chemistry, and environment.Regardless of these factors, if any odor occurs, it disappears after the first rinse.

Each product will have a different expiration which you can find on the individual product description webpage or on the bottle. To reach the full shelf-life, the products must be stored upright in a cool, dark, dry place away from sunlight. Using the products beyond the expiration date will likely result in a less effective tanning experience.

DHA is a FDA approved ingredient and only effects the stratum corneum (outermost layer of skin). Concerns about DHA's safety typically come from spray tans where the chemical can be inhaled and has contact with membranes.

Many women feel comfortable using GlowPro products while pregnant but you should always check with your physician if you have concerns. We offer our ingredient list on every product page for his/her reference.
