Which ingredient is omitted in the Pure Tan Extender to prevent drying?

The omission of alcohols, sulfates, and parabens in the Pure Tan Extender is a deliberate choice aimed at preventing skin drying and irritation. Alcohols are often used in skin products for their quick-drying properties and ability to enhance the absorption of other ingredients; however, they can lead to skin dehydration, which is counterproductive for a product designed to extend a tan.

Sulfates, commonly found in many cleansers and shampoos, can strip the skin of its natural oils, contributing to dryness. Their absence in the Pure Tan Extender helps maintain moisture levels, making the application more comfortable and ensuring the skin remains hydrated.

Parabens are preservatives used to prolong the shelf life of cosmetic products. Some individuals may experience irritation or allergic reactions to parabens, and there is growing consumer demand for paraben-free products due to concerns about their potential health effects. By excluding parabens, Pure Tan Extender caters to a sensitive audience while also supporting the health of the skin.

By omitting all three ingredients, the Pure Tan Extender prioritizes skin health, ensuring that it maintains its moisture and elasticity, which is essential for a lasting and beautiful tan.
