ERYTHRULOSEErythrulose 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.


★What is the difference between Erythrulose and DHA (Dihydroxyacetone)?

Both are self-tanning raw materials. DHA has a fast tanning effect but short duration; Erythrulose has a slower onset but more natural, long-lasting and uniform tanning effect, and is often used in combination with DHA.


★Is Erythrulose natural or synthetic?

Erythrulose is typically produced via fermentation, making it a naturally derived ingredient suitable for natural and clean beauty formulations.


★What is the recommended usage rate of Erythrulose in formulations?

★What shipping methods do you support?

We support international express (DHL/FedEx/UPS), air freight and sea freight, and can arrange delivery according to your time and cost requirements.


★What is the optimal pH range for Erythrulose?

The optimal pH range is typically between 3.0 and 5.0 for best stability and performance.


★Is Erythrulose stable in formulations?

It is more stable than DHA, especially in properly formulated systems with controlled pH and antioxidants.


★Can it discolor over time?

Slight color changes may occur due to Maillard reactions, but proper formulation can minimize this.
