It is a common mistake to believe that all sunless tanning solutions are the same. Nothing could be further from the truth. Aviva Labs solutions are truly different. Aviva Labs has won multiple, independent benchmarks conducted by industry experts and salon & spa owners. And, the vast majority of those who try our solutions switch to Aviva Labs. One of the main reasons is the natural color — a sun-kissed bronze glow that looks like you just walked off the beach — not an "orange" or artificial-looking color. Plus, Aviva Labs solutions fade like a real tan. But, there is so much more:

Aviva Labs’ FAQs

1. Is sunless tanning safe?
Yes, it is. The FDA approved Dihydroxyacetone (DHA), a sugar cane derivative that results in the tan, for safety in 1973. When applied to the skin, DHA penetrates only the top layer of skin — it does not absorb into the body or bloodstream.

2. Do Aviva Labs’ sunless tanning products contain erythrulose?
No. Aviva Labs uses the only FDA-approved ingredient for sunless tanning - DHA (dihydroxyacetone.) No other skin colorants, including erythrulose, have been approved by the FDA for sunless tanning, therefore we do not and will not use erythrulose in our products.

3. Do Aviva Labs’ sunless tanning products contain alcohol?
No. Alcohol is very drying to the skin and can cause irritation. Furthermore, alcohol intensifies degradation of DHA and thus shortens the shelf life of the product.

4. Do Aviva Labs’ sunless tanning products contain Aloe Vera?
No. Aloe Vera is an oil-based moisturizer. Though beneficial in other cosmetics and skincare products, Aloe Vera has many negative side effects when used in sunless tanners. It can dramatically slow drying times, clog pores and HVLP spray guns, plus stain clothes and bed sheets. Aloe-based or oil-based products also require more air compressor pressure to spray, are more difficult to clean up, and often require the addition of alcohol (which introduces a whole new set of problems) to speed up the drying time. Aviva Labs does NOT use Aloe Vera or alcohol in our sunless tanners. Instead, we developed a unique, new product that is water-based (oil-free) rather than Aloe Vera-based (oil-based.) Aviva Labs’ solution is highly moisturizing, yet it dries in seconds, rather than minutes like Aloe Vera-based solutions. You can truly feel the difference with Aviva Labs’ solution.

5. Do Aviva Labs’ sunless tanning solutions contain fragrances?
No. First, our sunless tanning solution is designed specifically for people with hypersensitive skin. Second, no one wants sunless tanning solution that smells too flowery, fruity or sweet. Not only can these fragrances be very unpleasant, but also, many salons that have male clients appreciate our fragrance-free solutions.

6. Will I experience allergic reactions or acne with your products?
Aviva Labs sunless solutions are hypoallergenic — oil-free, alcohol-free, and fragrance-free, designed specifically for hypersensitive skin. As part of our philosophy Beauty Today. Health for Life.™, we use only the purest, essential ingredients necessary for optimal results. Dermatologists agree that the greater the number of ingredients, the greater the chances for allergic reactions. Our sunless tanning solution contains only 13 ingredients (including the 3 colors that make up the bronzer.) We have counted up to 33 ingredients in some well-known competitors’ solutions. Please note: if your clients have a hypersensitive skin condition or known allergies to sunless tanning products, have them consult their physician prior to spraying them.

7. Will Aviva Labs’ sunless tanning products stain my clients’ clothes or bed sheets?
Generally, salons will recommend their clients wear garments that are loose and dark in color after an application. However, Aviva Labs’ solutions dry quickly and are water-based so they rarely transfer to clothing or bed sheets. If any color does get transferred to clothing, it can be easily washed in a normal cycle and will not stain.

8. I’m about to sample your sunless tanning solutions. What differences should I look for as I spray on the solutions?
Aviva Labs’ sunless tanning solutions are very different from any others on the market. You can see and feel the difference on the skin. View our formulas page to learn why salon and spa owners who know choose Aviva Labs.

9. How long does a sunless tan last?
An Aviva Labs sunless tan will usually last 5-8 days. To maximize the life of the tan, thoroughly exfoliate thoroughly using Aviva Labs Exfoliant prior to application and moisturize generously with the Aviva Labs Moisturizing Crème each day after the application.

10. What about my clients who always burn (never tan) in the sun. Will they be able to get a sunless tan?
Absolutely. If your client has very fair skin (Skin type 1), and always burns in the sun and therefore has never been able to tan, they can achieve a sunless tan. With Aviva Labs 8% DHA solution, it will look terrific.

11. When should I use DHA booster drops?
There are a very small percentage of people who are so DHA-resistant that they cannot get a tan even from 12%DHA solution, as well as people who just want an exceptionally dark tan. For them, we manufacture concentrated DHA booster drops. By adding 11 drops (less than 0.5ml) of Aviva Labs’ DHA Booster Drops, you will increase the DHA concentration of your solution by 1% per oz., enabling you to customize the darkness level. The Booster Drops are colorless and can be used in both the "Clear" and "With Bronzer" Aviva Labs solutions.

12. What is the difference between "Clear" and "With Bronzer" solution?
Both solutions contain DHA, but the "Clear" solution is completely colorless, while the "With Bronzer" simply means there is ’color guide’ in the solution. This is a bronzer made from very high quality, food-grade food colorants. It serves two purposes. First, since DHA takes 4-8 hours to fully react with the skin and develop the beautiful tan, the bronzer gives clients the "instant gratification" tan so they can leave your salon with a beautiful, instant tan. Once your client showers (a least 8 hours after being sprayed), the color guide (bronzer) washes off to reveal the beautiful DHA tan. Second, this color guide helps the spray technician track where and how much they have sprayed on the client.

13. When should I choose "Clear" solution?
Some people prefer to use the "Clear" versions, especially for facial applications, since the skin is very sensitive. Please note that spraying the "Clear" solution is more challenging because there is no ’color guide’ to indicate where the spray technician has already sprayed.
