Can Tire Dressings Cause the Browning of Tires?

Is it possible that tire dressings accelerate the browning color of tires?

My tires are only 10 months old, and I notice the sidewalls are aren’t jet black like they were when new. I only noticed this recently when I started using a “wet” tire dressing. Is there a correlation? I know all tires will eventually get some brown color due to UV exposure, but could the tire dressing possibly be accelerating the browning effect? It just seems more than I expect for 10 month old tires.
