The UFC Que Choisir association analyzed the composition of six self-tanners. Find out which one gets the best rating according to her, and which poses no health risks.
With the arrival of sunny days, we want to display a tanned complexion and look good even before going on vacation. The most effective solution to brown your skin without exposing yourself to the sun? The self-tanner. Available in the form of capsules or cosmetics, these products allow you to display a tanned complexion without leaving home thanks to DHA, the component present in almost all self-tanners.
As pointed out by theUFC What To Choosewho analyzed the composition of 6 self-tanners: “DHA, which tints the skin, is also known to its propensity to release formaldehyde. However, this substance has been banned since 2019 in cosmetic products because it has proven to be sensitizing for the skin and carcinogenic by inhalation.”. This is why self-tanning formulas are often decried. Find out which self-tanner presents according to Que Choisir the best composition.
