Active Beauty Vegetan Life UV-free hydra-tan Crafted by white technology
Focus on the product Combining the 2 most in-demand consumer requests: tanning and hydration 1. The holy grail for the perfect skin complexion: a light golden, glowing, even tan Color plays a significant role in one s self-image, explaining the tremendous success of make-up and BB creams. 100% of consumers want perfect and uniform skin color. 63% of consumers want to achieve a medium skin tone. The skin s brightness largely depends on the tone and more specifically on the cutaneous color harmony. Indeed by evening the skin s tone, imperfections are hidden and contrasts are blurred. Wrinkles are also less visible and the age of the skin is less perceptible. As a result, the skin look is more globally radiant. 2. Dry skin issue Almost 50% of consumers suffer from dry or very dry skin on their body, yet only a 25% of them are actually aware of this issue. Dry skin is a result of a lack of moisturisation, usually associated with a weak skin barrier and superficial dry skin cells hindering the proper reflection of light on the skin surface. The skin looks older, uneven and dull. By rehydrating the skin, the light reflection is increased and the skin recovers its natural glow. Vegetan Life s secret: a molecular mirror for hydra-tanning Vegetan Life: an optimised combination of two active molecules with very similar structures: Glycerone (dihydroxyacetone or DHA): the cosmetic UV-free self tanning reference Glycerin: a highly efficient humectant, providing the skin with an amazing self-tanning and moisturising combination. A smart chemical modification makes all the difference! Moisturising glycerin By nature, Vegetan Life is: Multifunctionnal (2 in 1) Ready to formulate Safer for the workers Greener Easier for your supply chain / stock management Vegetan Life is a creative solution to get a fast and long lasting ideal good look. Self-tanning glycerone
Focus on the product Make your supply chain easier Vegetan Life has been designed to avoid last minute orders: with a shelf life of over 12 months, twice more than classical liquid DHA, Vegetan Life makes it possible to smoothly manage stock and anticipate productions. Vegetan Life is the first ready to use liquid self-tanning ingredient with such a convenient shelf life able to be shipped and stored all over the world. The only 2-in-1 UV-free self tanner The self-tanning effect of Vegetan Life is due to the coloring of the horny layer of the epidermis. As opposed to the melanogenesis phenomenon generated by UV stimulation of the skin, the coloring mechanism of Vegetan Life is based on the Maillard reaction. DHA reacts with the amines, peptides and amino-acids of the horny layer to generate brown polymers called melanoidins at the surface of the epidermis. This is the safe way to get a sun tanned look without any UV damages. On top of this, the color is water resistant and can disappear in only one week when the dead cells of the horny layer flake off. The moisturising effect of Vegetan Life is provided by glycerin. This molecule naturally maintains superficial water and acts as a water balance enhancer. It helps prevent the slight dehydration effect of DHA Maillard reaction, known to capture a water molecule. Glycerin A simple and efficient solution to get your face and body to look bright, smooth, and healthy even in winter time.
Eco-responsible by Nature Greener The DHA contained in Vegetan Life is obtained by means of a white biotechnology process from renewable vegetal resources. A cradle to grave Life Cycle Analysis was carried out according to the principles of ISO 14 040 and ISO 14 044. Results: The production process for liquid DHA from Vegetan Life shows a reduction of -40% to -80% in the environmental impact with -84% for photochemical oxidation.

Its use in liquid form in the manufacturing of cosmetic products makes it possible to avoid: Powder DHA Liquid DHA (contained in Vegetan Life) Numerous manipulations of ingredients (such as in stages of premixing and transferring) Any risk of dust inhalation during the production steps Vegetan Life contributes to improving the quality of life of production operators.
Biological activity High performance self tanning efficacy (in vivo) 19 volunteers applied a solution on their forearms containing either Vegetan Life or our reference liquid DHA (Vegetan FL); both lotions having the same final 6.5% DHA concentration. Measurement of the induced pigmentation was realised at 3h, 6h, 24h, 48h, 72h, 96h after application by evaluating the evolution of the a* and b* values with a spectrocolorimeter and expressing them as delta color evolution (Dc).
