Natural Self-Tanning Ingredient

PRODUCT NAME
FM-MH

DESCRIPTION
As a consequence of the increased consumer awareness of the negative health effects of sun bathing and tanning beds there is a high demand for a safe alternative of tanning. FM-MH is a naturally derived self-tanning ingredient that delivers a more authentic, more uniform and longer lasting tan. Due to its smooth tanning kinetics it is particularly useful in gradual tanning products. It can be favourably combined with DHA for both product types, the classical selftanners and the gradual tanning products. FM-MH is a natural keto sugar ((S)-1,3,4-trihydroxy-2-butanone) that reacts via the Maillard reaction with peptidic amino groups of the skin surface proteins, yielding to brown polymeric products (melanoids) that are directly bound to the skin surface (stratum corneum).
