Dihydroxyacetone. Acts as a sunless tanning agent. When applied to the skin causes a chemical reaction with amino acids in the surface cells of the skin producing a darkening effect. DHA does not damage skin as it only affects the outermost cells of the epidermis (stratum corneum). It is FDA-approved. Used in self-tanning products.
