The bronzer gives the artist clear visual guidance during application. It helps track coverage, identify missed areas, and confirm that the solution has been applied evenly. It also gives the client instant gratification with an immediate, fresh-from-the-beach bronzed appearance while the DHA-developed tan begins to form.

Is Cocoanilla® Advanced Mocha a rapid solution?
No. Mocha is a classic 8-hour development formula. Within the Cocoanilla Collection, Espresso offers dual-function 8-hour or rapid flexibility, while Double Shot Rapid is designed specifically as a rapid system.How is Mocha different from Latte and Espresso?
Mocha contains 12% DHA and provides the rich middle depth of the Cocoanilla Collection. Latte offers the most natural developed depth at 9.5% DHA, while Espresso provides the deepest 14% DHA result with dual-function 8-hour or rapid flexibility.Is Cocoanilla Mocha only for medium or deeper skin tones?
No. Mocha describes the formula’s DHA level and expected developed depth, not who can use it. Artists should consider the client’s skin condition, tanning history, and desired result when choosing a formula.Does the Cocoanilla bronzer determine the final tan color?
No. The cocoa-brown bronzer provides visual guidance during application and gives the client immediate bronzed color while the tan begins developing. The bronzer rinses away. Final tan depth develops from the DHA reaction within the outermost layer of the skin.Can I lighten the Cocoanilla bronzer or customize the DHA level?
Yes. Cocoanilla Mocha can be blended with AYU Plus Clear to reduce the cosmetic bronzer concentration while allowing the artist to customize the final DHA percentage.For a 50/50 blend, average the DHA percentages of the two solutions:
• Mocha 12% + AYU Plus Clear 6% = 9% DHA
• Mocha 12% + AYU Plus Clear 8% = 10% DHA
• Mocha 12% + AYU Plus Clear 10% = 11% DHA
• Mocha 12% + AYU Plus Clear 12% = 12% DHA
• Mocha 12% + AYU Plus Clear 14% = 13% DHAThis gives the artist control over both the visible bronzer depth during application and the DHA percentage of the finished blend.
Mix AYU solutions with AYU solutions only. Store custom blends separately in a clearly labeled container and do not return mixed solution to the original bottle.
This solution is wonderful! It is moisturizing and has the most beautiful brown bronzer. It works well on my mature clients, giving an even result and enhancing their skin tone. It dries quick which is a big plus in Florida!
Holy grail! The BEST. Beautiful brown on all skin types. It is absolutely perfect!
