Abstract
The present invention relates to a cosmetic composition comprising DHA in combination with defined amounts of acrylates/VA copolymer and acrylates copolymer in a cosmetically acceptable base or delivery vehicle. When applied topically, these compositions have much less malodor that known DHA-containing products while providing a tan with even coloration that is more natural looking than many DHA-induced self-tans. Compositions according to the invention dry quickly after application to an anhydrous state, resist transfer through incidental contact, and exhibit long-wear. Compositions according to the invention are easily removed when scrubbed with water above a certain temperature, but not as easily removed with water below that temperature.
