These substances are also used to intentionally make your skin more photosensitive (There are some skin therapies where treatment is applied through UV-light). Theoretically you can use them to quicken any tanning, but I guess dermatologists are happy that this isn't too widely known.

Before anyone reading this gets the bright idea to retail this as a new & "innovative" beauty product, consider the lawsuit potential from skin damage that will come from using it in an inevitably slapdash manner.

Yeah a while back me and a buddy had the bright idea to use fresh markut limes with our beach beers - embarrassing (but hilarious) bright red puffy lips the rest of the weekend, with I assume chemical + sun burn. I’ll cook with markut in a heartbeat but I’m not messing with the raw juice anymore, that’s for sure.

    Oh yeah I’m sure that’s the case - I burn real easy even without the lime juice’s help.
