Hydroxyacetone

Description:

Hydroxyacetone, also known as dihydroxyacetone (DHA), is a simple carbohydrate and a ketone with the chemical formula C3H6O3. It is a colorless, odorless liquid that is hygroscopic and soluble in water. Hydroxyacetone is notable for its role in the cosmetic industry, particularly in self-tanning products, as it reacts with amino acids in the skin to produce a temporary browning effect. This reaction is known as the Maillard reaction. The substance has a sweet taste and is used as a food additive in some applications. In terms of safety, hydroxyacetone is generally recognized as safe when used appropriately, but it can cause skin irritation in some individuals. Its molecular structure features a hydroxyl group (-OH) and a ketone group (C=O), contributing to its reactivity and functionality in various chemical reactions. Hydroxyacetone is also used in biochemical research and has applications in the synthesis of other organic compounds.
