Tanning component of sunlight (11)

I believe the answer is:

ultraviolet

(Other definitions for ultraviolet that I've seen before include "Relating to part of non-visible spectrum" , "electromagnetic radiation" , "Type of radiation" , "light range" , "UV in full" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
