Dihydroxyacetone (CAS 96-26-4) is a simple triose ketone primarily synthesized via enzymatic fermentation of glycerol. It serves as the active tanning agent in sunless products, reacting with skin amino acids to induce coloration without UV exposure.
Store in cool, dry conditions away from oxidizers. Avoid inhalation of dust; use appropriate PPE including gloves and goggles during handling. Not intended for injectable clinical use due to potential systemic toxicity risks.
