Other Name: 1,3-Dihydroxyacetone, DHA
Appearance: White crystalline powder
Purity: 98% CAS NO.: 96-26-4
Application: cosmetics and skin care products Dihydroxyacetone, also called glycerone, is a common active ingredient in sunless tanning creams or sprays. As a single carbohydrate, dihydroxyacetone is extracted from sugar beet or sugar cane, or produced through the fermentation process of glycerol. Using dihydroxyacetone to change skin tone is considered a healthier choice than sun tanning or commercial tanning beds. Although this carbohydrate does not damage the skin itself, it is still harmful to health. Within 24 hours of application, the skin becomes highly sensitive and vulnerable to sun damage. During this period, users are advised to take sun protection measures and stay indoors as much as possible.

Erythrulose is a natural ketose. Generally used in conjunction with dihydroxyacetone DHA. Make DHA darker in color and more evenly distributed. Dosage: 1%-3% for water phase below 40�?�¢??. Erythrulose is a natural tanning ingredient that provides a more real, more uniform, and longer-lasting tanning effect. Due to its smooth tanning kinetics, it is a particularly useful progressive tanning product. It can be well combined with ActiBiso-DHA (hydroxyacetone) for two product types, classic self-tanning agent and progressive tanning agent.
Erythrulose is a natural ketose that reacts with the amino groups of protein peptides on the skin surface through Maillard reaction to produce a brown polymer product that directly binds to the skin surface (stratum corneum), which is compatible with 1,3-dihydroxyacetone. In contrast, erythrulose provides a more natural and true tan, lasts longer and the formula is more stable. As a partner of DHA. Erythulose improves key self-tanning product characteristics such as less streaks, more natural color, and it avoids skin dryness and irritation. Erythrulose causes a permanent tanning effect-it can only be removed through the skin's natural desquamation process.
Erythulose is mainly used as a raw material for cosmetic formulations, especially as a sunscreen, it has a special effect, can prevent excessive evaporation of skin moisture, and play a role in moisturizing, sun protection and UV radiation protection. Apply on the skin to darken the complexion.
