Erythrulose is a ketose (monosaccharide containing one ketone group): a ketotetrose similar in structure to dihydroxyacetone, a product of fermentation of sugars (Mizanur 2001).
Applied to the skin, it reacts with the keratin, darkening it.
It is used, on its own or in preparations also containing erythrulose, in the treatment of vitiligo and in cosmetics for sunless tanning (Braunberger 2018, FDA 2018, Fu 2004).
Since the last update we have not found published data on its excretion in breastmilk.
Systemic absorption is considered negligible (Huang 2017, HWA 2009), so its excretion in breastmilk in clinically significant amounts is very unlikely (HWA 2009).
Artificial tanning products should not be inhaled, ingested or enter into contact with eyes, lips or mucous membranes (FDA 2018, Huang 2017), so they should not be applied on the nipple and areola area to prevent them from coming in contact with the mouth or eyes of the infant.
