Uses
tyrosine is an amino acid. Cutaneous applications may produce an extra reserve of tyrosine in the skin, assisting or “activating” melanin synthesis. This in turn should increase and prolong the effect of the tanning process. Tyrosine’s effect is improved if the product contains vitamin B (riboflavin) plus an additional compound referred to chemically as ATP (adenosine triphosphate). experiments conducted with l-tyrosine in the form of watersoluble derivatives found that it penetrates the epidermis to the basal layer where the melanocytes are located. It is used in suntan accelerators and in skin-bronzing cosmetics to accelerate the tanning process.
