Erythrulose(DHB) with CAS 533-50-6
What Is Erythrulose(DHB)?
Erythrulose (CAS 533-50-6) is a natural, plant-derived ketose monosaccharide derived from red raspberries. It is a water-soluble self-tanning active widely used in cosmetic and personal care formulations as a safe, effective alternative to conventional tanning agents.
It reacts with the free amino acids in the outermost layer of skin (stratum corneum) through the Maillard reaction, producing a natural-looking, golden-brown tan that develops gradually over 24–72 hours. Unlike DHA alone, Erythrulose produces a longer-lasting, more even color.
Runtai Chemical supplies cosmetic-grade Erythrulose in bulk quantities, with strict quality control and documentation for global export compliance.

Product Advantages
- Even, Natural Tan: Produces a gradual, golden-bronze color with reduced streaking. Combined with DHA, it extends tan longevity and improves color uniformity.
- Skin-Safe & Gentle: Non-irritating, non-sensitizing, and suitable for sensitive skin types. No cytotoxicity at recommended use concentrations (1–5%).
- Synergy with DHA: When combined with DHA, Erythrulose produces a complementary tanning effect — faster onset with DHA, longer duration with Erythrulose.
- Formulation Flexibility: Water-soluble and compatible with a wide range of cosmetic ingredients. Suitable for lotions, sprays, gels, mousses, wipes, and serums.
