Frequently Asked Questions

Colour Development, Blending Logic and Storage

How does erythrulose differ from dihydroxyacetone?

Dihydroxyacetone colours fast with an orange cast; erythrulose colours slowly but evenly, so the two are blended to balance speed and tone, with the ratio set by trials.

What does erythrulose do in a self-tanning formula?

It reacts with amino acids in the outer skin layer to form brown pigments, more slowly and more evenly than dihydroxyacetone, and is often used to tune the tone. Results vary by user.

What pH and storage does erythrulose need?

It is more stable in mildly acidic systems and should be kept from light and heat, with opened material used promptly. Conditions follow the product data.

Which specifications should a buyer confirm?

Assay, colour, moisture and pack size are the usual items, all following the product data and batch record.
