D-Erythrulose INCI Grade | Moisturizing & Antioxidant for Cosmetics Formulation
01
Product Description
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), another common ingredient in self-tanners. Erythrulose is derived from red raspberries and is known for its ability to provide a more even and natural-looking tan compared to some other tanning agents.
Aogebio® 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, free radical defense, and healthy complexion while being gentle enough for sensitive skin types.
