With all of the same benefits as the original, TanTowel Plus contains these added ingredients: - DHA - a self-tanning agent - Transcutol CG - a solvent for DHA penetration - Erythrulose - a color accelerator for a faster, deeper and darker natural looking tan - Vitamin A Acetate - an antioxidant TanTowel will not discolor elbows, knees and joints and goes on easily with no streaking. The pulp fiber exfoliates as you apply leaving your skin soft, smooth and evenly tanned. You guage the level of tan by the number of towel applications. TanTowel has a refreshing citris scent but will not compat with perfume or cologne. The fragrance will disipate within 5 minutes. Great for travel as there are no leaks or spills to worry about!
