How it works
ProTan Beaches & Créme Black Bronzer works by combining instant cosmetic bronzers (like Caramel) for immediate visual darkening with Dihydroxyacetone (DHA) for a long-lasting, chemical tan.
DHA reacts with skin proteins to create melanoidins, while a hydrating base with humectants, emollients, and occlusives ensures skin comfort and even color distribution during UV exposure.
The formula supports the skin while delivering a rich, deep bronze.
