Tyrostan® PF is a tanning magnifier, obtained via the condensation of tyrosine with capric acid (as the potassium salt), able to increase its bioavailability delivering the equivalent of about 10% pure tyrosine. Indicated for suncare products to increase pigmentation before and during exposure and for suntan maintenance after exposure. By increasing its melanin content and natural color, it is able to improve cellular defenses from UV rays, enhancing skin protection. It is completely water soluble and compatible with traditional cosmetic ingredients.
