1,3-Dihydroxyacetone

Dihydroxyacetone (DHA) is a key ingredient in sunless tanning. It comes from plant sources like sugar beets. Basically, DHA reacts with amino acids on your skin’s surface. This reaction creates pigments called melanoidins. Consequently, your skin develops a temporary, natural-looking tan. Typically, the color appears within a few hours. Moreover, the tan gradually fades over several days. Importantly, DHA provides color without UV exposure. Therefore, it offers a safer alternative to traditional sunbathing. Finally, this makes DHA very popular in self-tanning lotions, sprays, and mousses.

Dihydroxyacetone/DHA serves as pharmaceutical intermediate. It is a simple carbohydrate with a three-carbon structure. Primarily, the compound acts as a key building block in organic synthesis. For instance, it is essential for producing drugs that treat certain skin conditions. Additionally, DHA plays a significant role in synthesizing antiviral and anticancer agents. The industry values DHA for its stability and water solubility. Ultimately, these properties make it an important material in modern drug development.

Dihydroxyacetone Storage and Delivery:

DHA is not like other chemicals, it need be stored at 2-8℃, dry and cold place. So we need control temperature during delivery.

Sample order, like 500g or 1kg, we ship it by Fedex.

500kg or 1ton order, we advice client to ship by air with normal temperature delivery, and it won’t influence DHA quality.

Mass order, some clients prefer shipping by ocean, because it will have less freight. But considering the storage temperature and long shipping time, we only could book full container with cold chain transportation. LCL is not acceptable.

Our company is a professional supplier for DHA, and cooperate with many US local clients, so the quality could be guaranteed. 1kg sample to test quality or bulk order for mass production of DHA all could be available. If you need COA and MSDS, pls contact us.
