Air Brush Sunless TanningIt is the newest crazy to hit the indoor tanning industry.
The booths that apply DHA solution can cost up to $55,000.
An economical alternative is to apply the same solution used in the expensive booths with an airbrush spray.
. Most salons are charging around $35-$45to apply the solution.
It takes about 5 to 7 minutes per application once you get the hang of it.
You will find that many of your existing tanners will use this to augment their regular tanning schedules and you can now offer a tanning alternative to people that have an aversion to UV based tanning of any kind.
Clients should not shower, take a bath or do anything that causes them to sweat for a minimum of 8 hours after application.
How does the D.H.A. solution make your skin tan?
The D.H.A. solution causes the proteins in the outside layer of your skin to react with the oxygen in the air resulting in a bronzing effect.
The best way to understand this can be illustrated in this analogy: When you take a bite out of an apple and set it down the fruit begins to turn brown after it is exposed to the air for a while.
This is a very similar chemical reaction to what takes place with the D.H.A. and your skin after an airbrush session. So you can see that you are not applying a dye or color to your skin but rather creating a situation where your skin develops a beautiful natural bronze color on it's own through a natural chemical enhancement.
Before You Tan24 hours prior to application have your customer use an exfoliating scrub.
Shave or wax legs.
Make up should be removed.
Do not moisturize the morning of the application. Moisturizer will inhibit the ability of the mist to soak in properly.
Wear old dark colored undergarments to be sprayed in.
DHA solution will completely wash out of cotton.
It will not wash out of synthetic, leather or suede.
After You TanBlow dry your body until the solution is absorbed and dry. (About 5 minutes) Wear loose fitting clothing.
We recommend dark colored cotton clothing until the initial shower.
Do not work out for at least 8 hours after application.
Sweat can cause a natural reaction that results in poor color and uneven tanning.
Using our bronzing moisturizer daily between sessions will improve the longevity of the airbrush tan.
Air Brush Sunless Tanning F.A.Q.
1. What is the air-brushed sunless tanning process?
The air-brushed sunless tanning process uses an ingredient called dihydroxyacetone (DHA) to react with the skins amino acids. The reaction is like that of the sun, but is not damaging to the skin. The process results in a golden tan appearance that can last up to 10 days. It is a healthy safe way to tan. This new process appeals to both people who already like tanning beds and those who don't.
2. What kind of results can I expect?
The same results that get from lying in a tanning bed or exposing yourself to the sun.
Even though there is no skin damage from overexposure when you use the air-brushed sunless tanning process, with overexposure you could see a possible orange distortion instead of the bronze we are trying to achieve.
The darker you tan naturally the darker you will become with the air-brushed sunless tanning process.
3. How long will this last?
This really depends on several factors. The air-brushed sunless tanning process only affects the epidermis layer of skin. Since cells are constantly being naturally discarded it is recommended that you exfoliate with some type of scrub before you have the DHA solution applied. Just like with a UV generated tan, using a good moisturizer will prolong the life of your tan. Results can still be seen up to 10 days after application.
4. What are the challenges associated with the air-brushed sunless tanning process?
If you have used a self tanner from the drug store then you know some of the problems associated with the process: orange color, streaking, blotches, and tanned palms etc.
The air-brushed sunless tanning process virtually eliminates most problems associated with self tanning.
After being sprayed you need to avoid perspiration and don't shower for at least 4 hours.
Avoid perspiration and don't shower for at least 4 hours.

Erythrulose : Product Description
When combined with DHA it produces a deep dark tan that is unmatched by solutions that use DHA alone.
Erythrulose is a natural keto-sugar which reacts with free primary or secondary amino groups (Maillard's reaction). This reaction with free amino groups of the amino acids of keratin in the skin leads to the DHA-driven formation of brownish polymers, the so-called melanoids.
Erythrulose has been developed to reduce or even eliminate the disadvantages of the presently available self-tanning solutions, namely an irregular and streaky tan as well as a strong drying effect.
Erythrulose is a clear, preservative free solution of a biotechnologically produced, chiral carbohydrate. The impressive properties of pure Erythrulose includes the aerobic fermentation of the bacterium Gluconobacter followed by several purification steps.

Erythrulose is a clear, preservative free solution of a biotechnologically produced, chiral carbohydrate. The impressive properties of pure Erythrulose includes the aerobic fermentation of the bacterium Gluconobacter followed by several purification steps.
In an in vivo test volunteers were treated with a DHA/ Erythrulose solution and others treated with the DHA solution alone for 20 days.
Erythrulose in combination with DHA produced a more even and longer lasting tan without the undesired streaks. The skin treated with the combination solution were 30% less dry than those treated with DHA alone.
The maximal tanning intensity was reached with the Erythrulose after 4-6 days and with DHA after 2 days. This result shows that Erythrulose reacts with the free amino acids of the horny layer more slowly than DHA.
Due to this fact and to its more uniform distribution in the stratum corneum, Erythrulose is believed to to be responsible for a more uniform and even tan.
Erythrulose in combination with DHA produces a deep, uniform and natural skin tan without undesired streaks. Thanks to its retardation effect, Erythrulose prolongs the tan and leaves the skin less dry.

INGREDIENTS
Aloe Vera (Aloe Barbadensis):
One of the most revered medicinal plants with proven benefits in topical application. Soothing to the skin and especially beneficial in products designed to replenish the skin after damage by the elements.
Antioxidants :
Antioxidants in skin care include the antioxidant vitamins E and C, and beta-carotene. They work by destroying free radicals (oxygen molecules that break down collagen, which causes wrinkles and sagging).
Benzyl Nicotinate :
Imparts a warm, "tingling" effect on the skin. Increases microcirculation, causes the skin to flush. The red flushing that occurs is due to the increased blood flow to the skin and will add color to the skin and depending on the depth and hue of the tan, the person will immediately be darker in color. This coupled with the color generated in the well-documented immediate pigment darkening reaction (IPD) will yield a more intense appearing tan.
Biosaccharide Gum-1 :
Derived from plants, supplies prolonged moisturization and creates a barrier on the skin to reduce after-tanning odor.
Caffeine :
Caffeine stimulates micro circulation and is known for its toning properties.
Canola Oil :
Is a vegetable oil, comes from Canola seed that is very stable, high in Oleic Acid and rich in Vitamin E. It is an excellent emollient and moisturizer, helps reduce irritated skin.
Carbomer :
Thickener and emulsion stabilizer.
Cetyl Alcohol :
It is a fatty alcohol produced from palm and coconut oil. Cetyl Alcohol is used as an emulsifying agent, viscosity increasing agent and emulsion stabilizer in cosmetics.
Citric Acid :
Derived from citrus fruits, has astringent and antioxidant properties. It is also used as a pH regulator.
Cocoa (Theobroma Cacao) Butter :
Is a yellowish white solid obtained from the roasted seeds of Theobroma Cacao whose original home is in the hot jungles of South and Central America. The tree thrives only in countries that lie within 20 degrees of the equator and grows best in lands where the climate is hot and moist. The tree prefers a well-drained porous soil of considerable depth and rich in humus. It is used as an excellent moisturizer and skin protectant to nourish and soften skin. It is also used to help speed the healing of damaged skin, smooth blemishes and soften stretch marks. It can be used to soothe itching from insect bites and rashes.
Copper :
Helps restore skin's firmness and elasticity.
COQ10 :
Powerful antioxidant. Helps diminish the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Strengthens the skin's defense against sun damage and pollutants.
Diazolidinyl Urea :
A broad acting preservative.
Dimethicone :
A form of silicone used to give products lubricity, slip, and good feel. It is reported to protect the skin against moisture loss when it is used in larger quantities. It improves product flow and spreadability.
Dihydroxyacetone (DHA) :
Used as a self-tanning agent. It does not give a "real tan" with protective melanin, but it can create the appearance by way of the development of a brown skin coloring. The action of DHA is limited to the upper layers of the skin and involves a reaction between DHA and skin proteins. DHA reacts with the amino acids and amino groups of the skin keratin forming brown colored compounds. The process takes place in the outer layers of the epidermis. There is much evidence to suggest that the process is similar to Maillard reaction, also known as "non-enzymatic browning". In this reaction, reducing sugars combine with amino acids, proteins and peptides to form various amino carbonyl compounds via a complex chain of reactions, which is not yet completely understood. According to the Maillard reaction, pyruvic acid and other hydroxycarbonyl compounds are probably formed from dihydroxyacetone, which, after further reaction steps, form brown compounds. The development of color takes anywhere from 2 - 4 hours and the intensity is dependent on the formulation concentration of the DHA in the product.
DNA Gel :
Provides rich nutrients for deep skin conditioning to help reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
Erythrulose :
Erythrulose works in a similar way to Dihydroxyacetone. It is a natural keto-sugar which reacts with free primary or secondary amino groups (Maillard's reaction). Erythrulose is used to reduce or even eliminate the disadvantages of many self tanners, namely an irregular and streaky tan as well as intense drying effect. Erythrulose is many times the cost of DHA but we have chosen to use it in many of our products. Erythrulose works synergistically with Dihydroxyacetone to produce premium quality products with a natural looking color and the benefits mentioned above.
Eucalyptus Oil :
An essential oil (Eucalyptol) that has antiseptic properties.
Fragrance (Parfum) :
Used to give an esthetic attribute to the product.
Frescolate or Menthyl Lactate :
A deodorized menthol used to give the skin a cooling sensation.

Hemp Oil :
Essential in the hydration of our skin after UV exposure, this oil is an all natural THC and drug free derivative.
Jojoba Oil (Buxus Chinensis) :
A natural, noncomedogenic moisturizer, providing the skin with suppleness and softness. It has long been held in high regard by Native Americans of the Sonoran Desert for its ability to heal and protect the skin. Its consistency is strikingly similar to human sebum, allowing it to effectively penetrate the skin to deep moisturize and deliver other active ingredients. Jojoba shields much the same way that sebum does, creating a protective film over the skin.
Lanolin :
A mixture of a yellow, oily substance obtained from sheep's wool and purified water that is used as an emollient to treat dry skin.
L-Tyrosine :
An amino acid that penetrates the epidermis to the basal layer where melanocytes are located, producing an extra reserve of tyrosine in the skin, assisting or activating melanin synthesis. This increases and prolongs the effect of the tanning process. Tyrosine's effect is improved with the addition of vitamin B.
Macadamia Nut Oil (Macadamia Ternifolia) :
A carrier for active ingredients and a natural moisturizer with excellent penetration properties. It has long been valued by Hawaiians for its ability to protect, soothe and condition the skin. Macadamia nut oil is high in palmitoleic acid, which is an effective antioxidant and a valuable fatty acid that is lost in skin as we age. Recent research indicates that palmitoleic acid may help protect cell membranes against damage.
Mango :
Produced from a tropical evergreen tree of India and Malaysia this rich, juicy fruit provides skin with hydration.
Matrixyl(aka: Palmitoyl-Pentapeptide-3) :
A cosmetic active proven in clinical studies to improve wrinkle appearance more rapidly than Retinol.

Rosemary Oil (Rosemarinus Officinalis) :
Considered beneficial for acne, dermatitis, and eczema. It may stimulate fibroblast growth with a possible increase in epidermal cell turnover. This would make it useful in products for aging and aged skin.
Sandalwood Extract :
Sandalwood is a small, many-branched evergreen tree, native to and cultivated in tropical Asia (especially India, Sri Lanka, Indonesia and Taiwan). It belongs to the Santalaceae. Its biological activity indicates that it may have astringent and antiseptic properties. Its unique odor is often used for aromatheraputic purposes.
Sepigel 305 (aka Polyacrylamide (and) C13-14 Isoparaffin (and) Laureth-7)Ê:
An emulsifier (a surface-active agent that promotes the formation of an emulsion).
Shea Butter (Butyrospermum Parkii) :
Shea Butter fruit is a fat obtained from the fruit of the karite tree. It is a skin-conditioning ingredient. Shea butter is well-known for its smoothing skin feel. It helps protect and restore skin. It is especially good for dry and sensitive skin types.

Triethanolamine (TEA) :
It is used as a pH adjuster but can also be used as a fragrance ingredient.
Vitamin A : A potent antioxidant and very effective free-radical scavenger, is especially beneficial for dry or damaged skin. Known as "the skin vitamin", it acts as a keratinization regulator, helping to improve the skin's texture, firmness, and smoothness. Vitamin A helps prevent skin dryness and scaliness by hydrating and softening the skin, keeping it healthy, clear, and infection resistant. It is used for anti-aging products due to its ability to stimulate new cell production, which is enhanced when combined with vitamin E. When vitamin A is incorporated into skin care products at adequate levels, it will increase cell proliferation in the epidermis, stimulate fibroblasts to produce elastin and collagen, and induce new blood vessels to grow, all of which result in healthier and younger looking skin.
Vitamin C :
Considered the most powerful water-soluble antioxidant, is also one of today's most dynamic natural skin care ingredients. It has been clinically shown to reverse photoaging (wrinkles and age spots) and boost the skin's collagen production for smoother and firmer skin. In addition, vitamin C inhibits UVA and UVB radiation-induced damage, also resulting in younger looking skin.
Vitamin E :
Considered the most important oil-soluble antioxidant and free radical scavenger, has numerous skin care benefits. In order to efficiently utilize oxygen and keep skin cells at their optimum health, skin tissue requires vitamin E; it is one of nature's most dynamic cellular renewal and healing ingredients.
It is also an extremely effective moisturizer that is easily absorbed by the skin.
Vitamin E is known to improve the appearance of rough, dry, and damaged skin by reducing transepidermal water loss and, when combined with other vitamins, it moisturizes from within. Some clinical research shows that vitamin E can help maintain the skin's connective tissue, helping it stay smooth and elastic. Vitamin E is also a photoprotectant and helps shield the cellular membrane from free radical damage. Studies show that when applied prior to UV light exposure, vitamin E helps protect against epidermal cell damage.
Wheat Amino Acids :
Provide additional moisture binding capabilities while supplying the skin with necessary raw materials for collagen synthesis.

An effective astringent and antibacterial agent.
Retinyl Palmitate Polypeptide :
Vitamin A (Retinyl Palmitate) plays a key role as an initiator of cell growth and protein production. It works to normalize the skin ensuring that it is functioning at an optimal level. The use of Retinyl Palmitate Polypeptide - a glycoprotein complex containing retinyl palmitate, will not only help to optimize the efficient normal working of the skin's cells; but, provides additional moisturizing and protective qualities to the skin.
Riboflavin :
Vitamin B2 - as well as a colorant. This is a co-enzyme in cell metabolism. Important in the building and maintenance of the mucosal and epithelial skin tissues. Plays a role in tissue respiration.
Rosemary Oil (Rosemarinus Officinalis) :
Considered beneficial for acne, dermatitis, and eczema. It may stimulate fibroblast growth with a possible increase in epidermal cell turnover. This would make it useful in products for aging and aged skin.
Sandalwood Extract :
Sandalwood is a small, many-branched evergreen tree, native to and cultivated in tropical Asia (especially India, Sri Lanka, Indonesia and Taiwan). It belongs to the Santalaceae. Its biological activity indicates that it may have astringent and antiseptic properties. Its unique odor is often used for aromatheraputic purposes.
Sepigel 305 (aka Polyacrylamide (and) C13-14 Isoparaffin (and) Laureth-7)Ê:
An emulsifier (a surface-active agent that promotes the formation of an emulsion).
Shea Butter (Butyrospermum Parkii) :
Shea Butter fruit is a fat obtained from the fruit of the karite tree. It is a skin-conditioning ingredient. Shea butter is well-known for its smoothing skin feel. It helps protect and restore skin. It is especially good for dry and sensitive skin types.
Sodium Hyaluronate :
Is another main component of the skin. It is responsible for maintaining cell structure as well as absorbing moisture.
Sodium PCA :
Is found in the skin and acts as its Natural Moisturizing Factor.
Squalane :
Accelerates the penetration of actives into the horny layers of the skin. Increases skin respiration and helps prevent water loss from the surface of the skin. Also a natural emollient, imparting moisture to the skin without a greasy feel.
Stearic Acid Derived from coconut and palm oils, is an emollient and an emulsifier.
Triethanolamine (TEA) :
It is used as a pH adjuster but can also be used as a fragrance ingredient.
Vitamin A : A potent antioxidant and very effective free-radical scavenger, is especially beneficial for dry or damaged skin. Known as "the skin vitamin", it acts as a keratinization regulator, helping to improve the skin's texture, firmness, and smoothness. Vitamin A helps prevent skin dryness and scaliness by hydrating and softening the skin, keeping it healthy, clear, and infection resistant. It is used for anti-aging products due to its ability to stimulate new cell production, which is enhanced when combined with vitamin E. When vitamin A is incorporated into skin care products at adequate levels, it will increase cell proliferation in the epidermis, stimulate fibroblasts to produce elastin and collagen, and induce new blood vessels to grow, all of which result in healthier and younger looking skin.
Vitamin C :
Considered the most powerful water-soluble antioxidant, is also one of today's most dynamic natural skin care ingredients. It has been clinically shown to reverse photoaging (wrinkles and age spots) and boost the skin's collagen production for smoother and firmer skin. In addition, vitamin C inhibits UVA and UVB radiation-induced damage, also resulting in younger looking skin.
Vitamin E :
Considered the most important oil-soluble antioxidant and free radical scavenger, has numerous skin care benefits. In order to efficiently utilize oxygen and keep skin cells at their optimum health, skin tissue requires vitamin E; it is one of nature's most dynamic cellular renewal and healing ingredients.
It is also an extremely effective moisturizer that is easily absorbed by the skin.
Vitamin E is known to improve the appearance of rough, dry, and damaged skin by reducing transepidermal water loss and, when combined with other vitamins, it moisturizes from within. Some clinical research shows that vitamin E can help maintain the skin's connective tissue, helping it stay smooth and elastic. Vitamin E is also a photoprotectant and helps shield the cellular membrane from free radical damage. Studies show that when applied prior to UV light exposure, vitamin E helps protect against epidermal cell damage.
Wheat Amino Acids :
Provide additional moisture binding capabilities while supplying the skin with necessary raw materials for collagen synthesis.
