Sienna-x 12% solution and Tantrick 12%- same colour???

[kylieb]

Hi ladies!

Have any of you had experience with Tantrick and Sienna?

The reason i ask is, I had a client a lil while back and she booked in with me for a spray tan as the lady that normally does it was away on holiday. She has Tantrick 12% I used Solglo 12% on her and she said it wasnt as dark as Tantrick (she likes to be really dark)

I have now changed to Sienna as i am absolutely in love with the stuff. I have told this client that the colour is fab and i find it comes out really dark on me,so to let me know if she would like to try it.

To compare both 12% solutions
in Tantrick and Sienna, which one would you say came out the darkest?

Thanks for your help guys xxx

I use Sienna 12.5% and used to use Tantrick 12%, i'd say that they are similar.. if anything the Sienna probably comes out a more natural shade in my opinion....

In theory,assuming the same grade DHA is used a 12.5% against a 12% solution should be slightly darker...although with the slight difference of the .05% extra concentrate the difference in appearance should be minimal.

Of course what is important is to compare any tan application after the initial colour guide has been washed off as it is this element which probably varies the most from manufacturer to manufacturer.

Other factors to consider are also the duration and even fade off of the tan as this also can be a big variable.

Aye, if all other things are equal, then a 12.5% solution as opposed to 12% should only result in the tan being just over 4% darker - which is probably a barely visible difference even; although other factors which may come into play are whether the formulations include Erythulose too and in what proportion (Erythulose takes longer to develop, but also lasts longer on the skin than DHA once it has developed) - and the effect of any other agents in the tanning liquid too, e.g. surfactants and other compounds which may help the tanning agents to penetrate deeper into the skin.

Spot on Ruth...I think you should get into the spraytan buisness fully :hug:

Brownie point on its way :hug:

LOL thanks Collin; incidentally the research I did at uni was in surfactant chemistry - well computer simulations of it anyway - DynaSURF - sheesh that was a long time ago now (over 12 years), does that web site ever look dated!!!

Generally speaking it is these additives which a brand may add to their solutions which increases the cost of manufacture which is why there is so many price point variations on spray tan solutions.
