Ultra Dark Spray Tan
The deepest spray tan in Santa Cruz, CA. Double-coat high-DHA Infinity Sun formula. For experienced clients only.
Service Description
Ultra Dark is the highest-concentration Infinity Sun formula deSoleil offers. Two coats are applied in a single session, producing maximum depth and a bold, rich result that develops continuously over 12 hours. This is not an entry-level formula. Jana reviews every client's skin tone and spray tan history before each Ultra Dark session. If this formula is not the right fit for your skin, she will tell you — the goal is always the best result, not the darkest one regardless of suitability. The formula uses a high-DHA base with hyaluronic acid, structural peptides, and antioxidants to support skin integrity under the more intensive development. The result, when correctly matched to skin tone and tan history, is commanding, dimensional, and deeply warm. KEY INGREDIENTS & THEIR BENEFITS High-Concentration DHA — Maximum-strength dihydroxyacetone for deepest possible Maillard reaction output. Applied in two full-body coats to compound depth without streaking — a technique that requires experienced application to execute correctly. Erythrulose — Essential in this formula for tonal balance. The slower keto-sugar reaction moderates the warmth of the DHA result, reducing orange shift and producing a more natural, nuanced deep tan over 24–48 hours. Hyaluronic Acid — High-molecular-weight humectant that binds significant water volume to the stratum corneum. Supports skin plumpness and surface smoothness under a double-coat application — critical for preventing streaking in high-DHA environments. Structural Peptides — Signal proteins that support collagen and skin firmness. Protect the skin matrix during intensive DHA development and contribute to a smooth, even surface for the second coat. Antioxidant Complex — Vitamins A, C, and E plus additional botanical antioxidants. Neutralize the higher free-radical activity generated by maximum-strength DHA.
