Erythrulose is a natural ketotetrose (four-carbon sugar) classified as a low-calorie sweetener and functional ingredient. It occurs naturally in small amounts in foods like sugarcane, honey, and mushrooms. As a synthetic compound, it is produced via microbial fermentation or chemical synthesis. Erythrulose is valued for its ability to enhance browning reactions (Maillard reaction) in foods and its mild moisturizing/antioxidant properties in cosmetics.
Erythrulose is a naturally occurring keto-sugar that is often used in the cosmetic and skincare industry, particularly in self-tanning products. It is a colorless, odorless compound that reacts with amino acids in the skin to produce a bronzing effect similar to that of dihydroxyacetone (DHA). Derived from red raspberries, it is known for providing a more even and natural-looking tan.
D-Erythrulose is a premium INCI-certified, plant-derived ketose sugar that delivers dual-action hydration and antioxidant protection for innovative skincare solutions. This multifunctional active ingredient naturally enhances skin moisturization and a healthy complexion while being gentle for sensitive skin.
Erythrulose tends to produce a more subtle and even tan, reducing the risk of streaking or orange tones.
The tan created can last longer than that produced by DHA alone, often maintaining its effect for up to 10 days.
Erythrulose helps to hydrate the skin, contributing to a healthier and more radiant appearance.
It can be used in combination with other tanning agents, enhancing the overall depth and quality of the effect.
Generally considered safe for topical use and is less likely to cause irritation compared to aggressive tanning agents.
Erythrulose is primarily used in self-tanning formulations, including lotions, sprays, and mousses. It is often combined with DHA to enhance the tanning effect and improve the overall quality of the product.
