  deck: "Three formats, one chemistry. The DHA is the same. What changes is how it goes on, how fast it develops, and how much control you have over depth.",
  intro: "Every mainstream self-tanner deposits dihydroxyacetone — DHA — onto the surface of the stratum corneum, where it reacts with amino acids to produce a brown colour. That reaction takes four to eight hours and then it's done. The format you pick doesn't change the chemistry. What it changes is the application experience: how evenly the product goes on, how easy it is to dilute or build, and how much forgiveness you get at the hairline, elbows, and knees. Mousse is fast-drying and opaque, which helps with placement but punishes hesitation. Lotion is slower and more forgiving, good for first-timers and large areas. Drops give you complete control over depth, at the cost of one extra step every night. None of these is objectively best — they're tools for different hands and different intentions.",

  defn: {
    h: "What DHA actually does",
    body: "DHA (dihydroxyacetone) is a simple sugar that reacts with the outermost dead cells of your skin to produce a brownish colour. The reaction happens within the stratum corneum — the surface layer that naturally sheds over one to two weeks. It is a colour reaction, not a stain, not a dye, not a treatment. The depth of colour is determined by DHA concentration, the number of layers applied, your skin's own texture, and how recently you exfoliated. Format is just the delivery vehicle.",
  },
  myths: [
    { m: "Mousse gives a deeper result than lotion.",
      t: "Depth comes from DHA concentration, not format. A 6% DHA lotion will develop deeper colour than a 4% DHA mousse. Check the formulation, not the texture." },
    { m: "Drops are more 'natural' than mousse.",
      t: "Drops, mousse, and lotion all contain DHA and roughly the same supporting ingredients. Drops are simply more dilutable — you control the ratio. There's nothing more natural about the chemistry." },
    { m: "Lotion lasts longer because it's richer.",
      t: "All formats fade at the same rate — as your surface skin sheds, the colour goes with it. Richer lotion ingredients might help the skin look better while the colour fades, but they don't extend DHA development." },
