  • COMPOUNDS AS SELF-TANNING SUBSTANCES AND TANNING COMPOSITIONS THEREOF
    Publication number: 20240058240
    Abstract: A self-tanning composition, such as a sunless tanning composition, a moisturizing composition, or a haircare composition, includes a self-tanning substance. The composition can result in increasing the amount of melanin in melanocytes, increasing melanin synthesis, improving melanin transport, and/or improving the distribution of melanin in suprabasal layers. The composition can be used in methods for darkening skin and/or for sunless tanning.
