Abstract:

The effects of the types and dosage of thickener, the ratio of solvent, the content of dihydroxyacetone and the preparation technology on the formulation design of dihydroxyacetone sunless tanner gel were studied. Through sensory evaluation such as appearance, spreading property, stability and efficacy evaluation, the better formulation was determined synthetically, which laid a theoretical foundation for the development of dihydroxyacetone sunless tanner gel. The results show that 2% hydroxyethyl cellulose should be used as the thickener of dihydroxyacetone tanner gel. The solvent is ethanol, propylene glycol and glycerol with a mass ratio of 10︰5︰3. The better process is heating to dissolve the thickener, then adding dihydroxyacetone after cooling. The color of tanning can be obtained when the content of dihydroxyacetone is 3%~17%.

Key words: dihydroxyacetone, cosmetics, sunless tanner agent, skin lightness test
