Dihydroxyacetone tans the skin by binding to amines, peptides and free amino acids of the outer layers of the stratum conrneum to generate a Maillard reaction. A brown ‘tan’ forms within two or three hours after skin contact with the DHA and continues to darken for approximately the next 6 hours.
Sunsafe ERL
Sunsafe ERL is a natural keto sugar tanning agent derived from glucose, designed to create a natural-looking tan. It reacts with amino groups in keratin, producing a brownish color through a Maillard-like reaction. Combined with Sunsafe DHA, it results in a darker, more even tan. The effect appears in 2-3 days, reaching maximum intensity in 4-6 days, and lasts 2 to 10 days depending on application and skin condition.
Tyrosinol
Oil soluble active ingredient derived from Tyrosine able to increase the melanogenesis enhancing a uniform tanning. Thanks to its stimulating action on melanin production, it reduces UV exposure and promotes a long lasting and homogeneous suntan.
Tyrostan PF
Active ingredient derived from Tyrosine able to increase melanogenesis. Tyrostan is a hydro soluble Tyrosine able to improve natural protection to sun exposure. Thanks to its stimulating action on melanin production, it promotes a long lasting and homogeneous suntan.

Tylose H Grades
The Tylose H Series is a range of highly versatile polymers that can be used in many different personal care formulations. The different grades in the range vary how thick the solutions will be of the Tylose, as well as how soluble and pure the grade is. The addition of Tylose H series can help stabilise emulsions, thicken surfactant based formulations and also help improve the foam quality; it can also additionally be used in colour cosmetics such as Mascara’s and Rollon Deodorants due to their feel in the formulations.
