Glossary Term
Acetyl Tyrosine is a form of tyrosine, an amino acid, that dissolves more easily in water, so it blends readily into lotions. It is one of the most common ingredients in sunbed accelerators and intensifiers, where it sits alongside moisturisers, conditioning oils and fragrance. Related forms you may see on a label include Tyrosine and Oleoyl Tyrosine.
