Self-tanner is a product that contains dihydroxyacetone and reacts chemically with its surface layer when applied to the skin to give the appearance of a suntan. Sunless tanners typically contain DHA and moisturizers. DHA is a sugar that interacts with proteins in the skin to form brown pigments called melanoidins. DHA is allowed by the U.S. Food & Drug Administration (FDA) as a color additive in sunless tanning products when applied externally. Refinements in the dihydroxyacetone (DHA) manufacturing process have aided in creating formulations that produce a more natural-looking color and better longevity.

The primary skin diseases due to exposure to sunlight cause a sense of not well-being. However, sunlight can cause skin damage. Damage includes painful sunburn and wrinkling and other changes associated with aging skin (photoaging), actinic keratosis, skin cancers, and even allergic reactions, worsening some skin diseases. For instance, The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention promoted self-tan products by considering them a safer alternative to UV-induced tanning.

Self-Tanning Products Market Segmentation and Shares
The lotion segment held the highest market revenue share of xx% in the year 2021
Based on product type, the lotion segment held the largest market share of xx% in 2021. The increasing incidences of skin malignancies and disorders due to ultraviolet (UV) ray exposure are likely to drive the demand for lotions throughout the forecast period. Lotions maintain the skin's hydration levels by locking in moisture, keeping the skin healthy, soft, and supple. Unlike cream, lotions are less greasy and have more water content. Alcohols are commonly used in these emulsions to prevent the oil and water elements from separating, resulting in a silky sensation when the lotion is applied. Lotions are also less dense, making them easier to apply or pump. Hence, the demand for self-tanning products is increasing.
Based on end-user, the women segment held the largest market share of xx% in 2021 and is expected to maintain dominance over the forecast period. Women are increasingly adding grooming products to their daily routines to enhance their appearance and confidence. Some studies indicate women are more likely to use tanning devices than men. In addition, the increasing tendency of the no-makeup face is gaining traction among women. Thus, the market is expected to register good growth in the upcoming years.
