Erythrulose

Product Description

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.

FAQ

★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?

The recommended addition amount is 1%–5%, which can be adjusted according to product positioning and tanning effect requirements.

★Are you a manufacturer or a trading suppliers?

We are a professional Erythrulose manufacturers based in China. ZHENYIBIO has extensive experience in producing high-quality raw materials and operates under strict quality management systems, welcome to visit our factory.

★Is Erythrulose water-soluble?

Yes, Erythrulose has good water solubility, easy to be added to water-based cosmetic formulations, and has good compatibility with most cosmetic raw materials.

★Can you provide COA, MSDS and other documents for Erythrulose?

Yes, we can provide complete certificates including COA, MSDS, TDS, specification sheet, etc., to support your customs clearance and formula filing.

★Can I get a sample of Erythrulose for formulation testing?

Yes, we provide small samples (10g–50g) for your formula R&D and testing, and you only need to bear the shipping cost.

★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.

★Do you support OEM or customized solutions?

Yes, we support customized specifications and formulation guidance.

FAQs

How does ZHENYIBIO ensure the oxidative stability of whitening actives in water-based formulations?

We have developed a proprietary Anti-oxidation Stabilization System specifically designed for oxidation-prone active ingredients (such as glutathione). By controlling residual heavy metals in the raw materials—the primary catalysts for oxidation—and recommending a complementary chelating agent regimen, we ensure that the ingredients remain free from browning over extended periods within a pH range of 5.0 to 7.0.

Are your botanical brightening extracts compatible with high-concentration electrolytes?

Our plant extracts undergo a multi-stage refining process to remove the majority of inorganic salts and impurities; as a result, they exhibit excellent compatibility within serum formulations containing thickeners or high concentrations of electrolytes, without giving rise to flocculation or phase separation.

What technologies does ZHENYIBIO use to improve the skin penetration of plant-derived actives?

For large-molecule plant-derived active ingredients, we employ Liposomal Encapsulation and Micronization technologies. These techniques significantly reduce particle size, enabling active ingredients—such as Alpha-Arbutin—to more easily penetrate the stratum corneum and reach the areas where melanocytes are concentrated.

Can you provide In-vitro or In-vivo efficacy data for your whitening product line?

Yes. In addition to providing standard TDS documents, we can—upon request—supply data from Tyrosinase Inhibition Tests as well as Human Patch Test reports to support clinical claims regarding the "whitening efficacy" of your finished products.

Do ZHENYIBIO whitening ingredients meet the regulatory requirements of EU and North America?

Fully Compliant. Our products strictly adhere to both EU (Regulation EC No 1223/2009) and US MoCRA standards. A complete Certificate of Analysis (COA) is provided for every batch of raw materials, ensuring that levels of heavy metals, microbial contaminants, and residual solvents remain well below international regulatory limits.

Are your products "Clean Beauty" compliant (Vegan, Non-GMO, Cruelty-Free)?

Yes. As experts in Natural Plant Actives, we pledge that all our ingredients are derived from sustainable plant sources, contain no animal-derived components, involve no animal testing, and are accompanied by comprehensive traceability statements—empowering your brand to enter the clean beauty sector.

How do you guarantee a stable supply of botanical raw materials regardless of seasonal changes?

ZHENYIBIO maintains its own proprietary botanical cultivation bases. Through controlled environments and standardized harvesting processes, we are able to not only guarantee year-round stock availability but also ensure a high degree of consistency in the content of active ingredients—such as Glabridin—across different production batches.
