Self-Tanning Formulation Details

Based on your questions and the previous discussion:

• The ingredients you listed are compatible and can be mixed without heat.
• This combination of ingredients, particularly DHA and Easy Tan, is characteristic of a self-tanning product that develops color over several hours.
• The ingredients used for self-tanning face products are generally the same as those for body products.

Ingredient Percentages

Recommended usage rates for each ingredient can be found on their respective product pages on the website. When using Pro Polymer as a thickener, the total oil phase (including ingredients like Fractionated Coconut Oil and fragrance) should not exceed 10% of the formula.

Texture with Added Color

If you add makeup color pigments to a self-tanning formula containing ingredients like Water, Ethoxydiglycol, DHA, Easy Tan, Pro Polymer, Mild Preserved Eco, Aloe Vera Extract, Rice Vitamin, Exotic Coconut fragrance, and Fractionated Coconut Oil, the texture will typically be a gel or a lotion. The exact consistency will depend on the specific amounts of the gelling agent (Pro Polymer) and the oil phase used. The pigments will primarily provide immediate color.
