I won't have any intention to make the lotion but I was awfully interested in what is actually inside the products that I happily use. This is the most informative video I've found. Thank you so much for making it.

Very interesting video! I have a question! The pigment you add to make the lotion brown is only for a color guide right? It doesnt change the actual color of the developped dha in the skin once it's washed off?

[@theinstituteofpersonalcare6401]

It helps improve the intensity and 'brown' of the DHA in its early stages (to offset any orange) - the dyes only last approx. 2 days of staining after which time only the DHA can be seen, but by then the intense 'orange' has also dissipated. This just gives a better brown from the moment its applied.
