Description
Erythrulose is a natural ketosugar (approved by Ecocert) derived from fermentation that acts as a self-tanning agent. It is designed to provide a deep, even, and long-lasting tan without streaks and without causing skin dryness. Compared to the other self-tanning agent, DHA, erythrulose acts more slowly, taking a few days for the color to develop compared to just a few hours with DHA, but it lasts longer. The two self-tanning agents are usually combined for a quick, long-lasting tan.
