Abstract: The sprayable sunless tanning composition with sunscreen protection is an emulsion based up on phase inversion technology that enables the production of highly stable, thin water in oil emulsions. The sunscreen protection is achieved through a blend of UV A, UV B and UV C absorbers. The sunless tanning effect is achieved by the use of tanning agents such as dihydroxyacetone in conjunction with erythrulose-a keto-sugar that minimizes streaking and prolong the residence time of the tan. Spray pattern enhancers such as Alcohol are used to improve sprayability through airbrush systems that also decrease the drying time of the composition when applied to the skin. Preferably, an antioxidant ingredient such as white tea extract is also used to counter the harmful effects that ultraviolet light has on exposed skin.
