erythrulose

Erythrulose is a gently acting self-tanning ingredient that belongs to the carbohydrate compounds which react with the proteins in the outermost skin layer.

In sun-care cosmetics, erythulose supports the immediate effect and ensures that the skin acquires a pleasant, lightly tinted base before or during sun exposure. In combination with tanning boosters it creates an optimized, intense yet very natural tanning result that harmoniously accompanies tanning in the solarium.
