DHA is a safe and FDA-approved tanning agent found in self-tanning products. Applied to the skin, it interacts with amino acids present on its surface, resulting in an alluring sunless glow without any unnatural hue. Adding a pure DHA concentrate to your favorite spray tan formula can increase the DHA level by 1%. This is a great option to slightly customize the tan or alter the color to a deeper level when you’re in a pinch!
- Customize the DHA level of your spray tan

What is DHA?
Dihydroxyacetone is a colorless sugar derived from sugar cane and sugar beets. In the 1920s, German scientists first uncovered Dihydroxyacetone (DHA) as a revolutionary skin-coloring agent but it wasn’t until the 1960’s that Coppertone revolutionized the tanning industry by introducing “Quick Tan,” a groundbreaking lotion that promised users an overnight bronze. This product was incredibly alluring for those who wanted to achieve sun-kissed skin without spending hours in direct sunlight and rapidly gained popularity among consumers looking for a convenient alternative. By 1973, Dihydroxyacetone (DHA) – the active ingredient in sunless tanning products – had gained approval from the Food and Drug Administration as a safe cosmetic product. From then onward, DHA-based self-tanner quickly grew popular amongst consumers desiring more consistent bronzing results for their skin without sunlight exposure!

I love the DHA drops! They’re a great way to tweak the color so it’s just right for all of your clients. It’s economical because I purchase the Sjolie Solution 9 and use the drops to darken the color. That way I avoid having to purchase different levels of solution.

I love Sjolie DHA Drops! Sjolie has 50% DHA drops where most other places have 35%! Its great to use to cuatomize any solution! I use it alot in the 14% for my select clients who want to look very dark. These DHA drops make it cost effective because you use less to get more!

Can these be used with Rapid Ultra One solution?
Derek Miller –
The DHA Booster Drops are not required when using the Rapid Solutions because of their already high DHA % content. If the client is looking to achieve a deeper tan, we suggest wearing the solution for additional time. You can refer to our Ultra Rapid Solution page to determine the development color and wear time ratio!
