DIHYDROXYACETON (DHA)
INCI: Dihydroxyacetone
It’s a safe sunless skin-tanning product which is a simple three carbon compound by the fermentation of glycerin. It reacts with free amino groups of keratin in thecorneum of the epidermis to achieve a dyeing effect, which is called the maillard reaction, and the mechanism is similar to the natural sunlight tanning kinetics while without sun exposure, protecting your delicate skin from UVs. DHA is the main active ingredient in virtually all sunless tanning skincare products.
ERYTHRULOSE
INCI: Erythrulose
It is a water-soluble sunless skin-tanning agent with high purity, is produced by green and natural fermentation. It reacts with free amino groups of keratin in the corneum of the epidermis. This conversion of reducing sugar with amino acids, peptides or proteins is similar to the “Maillard reaction”, imparting long-lasting and long-acting, even and gentle brown color without stripes, similar to the natural sunlight tanning kinetics while without sun exposure, protecting your delicate skin from UVs. It also can be combined with our other product for synergistic interaction. . Thus Erythrulose is easy to use for formulators, providing more flexibility and application in skin & hair products.
