SMA'RT L - Erythrulose (Erythrulose) is a natural, fermented, and water-soluble keto-sugar specifically designed for use in sunless tanning cosmetics. Renowned for its safe and nontoxic reaction, this ingredient creates a temporary browning effect that mirrors the Maillard reaction, effectively reacting with the amino groups of keratin in the skin to form brownish polymers, known as melanoids. Unlike common stains or dyes, this chemical interaction results in a color change that provides a natural-looking suntan appearance, comparable to that achieved through UV exposure, lasting between two to ten days based on the application technique and skin condition. SMA'RT L - Erythrulose not only minimizes common issues associated with sunless tanning, such as streaking and dryness, but can also be used individually or in synergy with DHA for enhanced results, allowing you to enjoy a healthy, vibrant glow while avoiding the damaging effects of UV radiation.
