  Tan Remover

  Posted by cossci21 on February 5, 2019 at 6:09 am

  Hi Everyone,
  Has anyone formulated a tan remover before?
  My client is looking for a tan removing product in a body wash (non physical abrasive)
  Any ideas or is this clutching at straws?
  My only plan so far is to have a high pH assuming this will help strip the skin.
  Thanks!

  Damn. Sorry, I missed the “non physical” part. OK then:

  Yes, you need to use a Chaotropic Denaturant such as Urea or Sodium Bicarbonate that will cause the protein to unfold.

  Hey 
  Ok thanks very much Mark Broussard. I have seen one on the market that has Sodium Bicarb. Makes sense.
  Cheers
