What is Erythrulose?Erythrulose is a natural keto-sugar which reacts with primary or secondary amino acid groups to form the polymer, Melanoidin.
In one study, volunteers treated with the DHA/Erythrulose solution were compared to others treated with DHA solution alone. Erythrulose in combination with DHA produced a more even and longer lasting tan without the undesired streaks. The skin treated with the combination solution was 30% less dry than those treated with DHA alone. The maximum tanning intensity was reached with the Erythrulose after 4-6 days and with DHA after 2 days. Due to this slower reaction and to its more uniform distribution in the outer skin, Erythrulose i believed to be responsible for a more uniform, even, and longer lasting tan.
In summary, Erythrulose in combination with DHA may produce a deep, uniform and natural skin tan without undesired streaks.
Thanks to its retardation effect, Erythrulose prolongs the tan and leaves the skin less dry. |
