1,3-Dihydroxyacetone CAS 96-26-4 is used as a pharmaceutical intermediate.
1,3-Dihydroxyacetone CAS 96-26-4 is mainly used as a formula raw material for cosmetics, especially as a sunscreen has a special effect, can prevent the excessive evaporation of skin moisture, and play a role in moisturizing, sun protection and UV radiation. In addition, the ketone functional group in DHA can react with the amino acids and amino groups of skin keratin to form a brown polymer, making people's skin produce an artificial brown, so it can also be used as a simulation agent for sun skin tone, and get brown or tan skin that looks the same as the result of prolonged exposure to sunlight, making it look beautiful.

1,3-Dihydroxyacetone (DHA) is primarily known for its application in the cosmetic industry, specifically in sunless tanning products. It's the active ingredient in many self-tanning lotions, creams, and sprays. When applied to the skin, DHA reacts with the amino acids in the skin's surface layer, resulting in a brown coloration similar to a suntan.
Outside of cosmetics, DHA also has applications in the medical field, such as in the treatment of certain skin conditions like psoriasis and as a component in some diagnostic tests. Additionally, it has been explored for potential applications in pharmaceuticals and as a starting material in organic synthesis.
