This yellow product is the result of the so called xanthoproteic reaction - the nitration of phenyl groups in the proteins in your skin. The phenyl groups are present in the aromatic amino acids phenylalanine, tryptophan and tyrosine...speaking of which, it is the porphyrin pigments in these amino acids that makes the human skin slightly fluorescent. The emission spectrum, unfortunately lies mostly in the low UV range (peak at about 350nm) with a very shallow tail among the bluish hues. The excitation peak is at about 300 nm, plenty of which exists in sunlight.
