    Staining of skin with dihydroxyacetone.

    WITTGENSTEIN E, BERRY HK.

    The reaction of skin with dihydroxyacetone to produce a brown "artificial tan" appears to proceed through combination with free amino groups in skin proteins, and particularly by combination of dihydroxyacetone with the free guanido group in arginine.
