Kelly, the manager of the Hollywood Tans in Sandy Springs, does an excellent job of demonstrating a UV-free Mystic Tan, and also comments on safety conerns of DHA, the active ingrediant in self tanner, as well as the FDA's advisories regarding self tanner and Hollywood Tans products available to protect consumers from inhaling self tanner. 11 Alive news reporter Duffy Dixon interviews Kelly, as well as an unnamed doctor who cites a mysterious study allegedly shows a link between usage of DHA and alterations of animals DNA. The doctor does not give the source or date of the study, however after scaring viewers with allegations of DNA alterations, she does conclude that it's "... in the right settings it's probably OK to continue your spray tans." Hollywood Tans however supplied 11 Alive with this study, done by the European Commission in 2010, which concluded after extensive study that "the use of Dihydroxyacetone (DHA) as a self-tanning ingredient in spray cabins... will not pose a risk to the health of the consumer."

Thanks for the updates, I want to have some tanning lotion which I can use whenever I have no time tanning my skin. Is it safe? Does this one contain harmful ingredients that could permanently harm my skin? I've read some articles from mercola indoor tanning which said that be careful on choosing on which tanning lotion I should use. It should be all natural and organic ingredients so it will not be harmful.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the comment! HollywoodTansAtlanta.com sells a variety of lotions. Were you looking for lotions to use during indoor UV tanning sessions or are you asking about self tanners to use independent of UV tanning? We have an exclusive line of paraban-free preservative-free indoor tanning lotions called "Pure Glam" if you were talking about lotions to use during a UV indoor tanning session. And if you were asking about self tanners, we primarily sell Mystic Tan brand products, in which the primary ingrediants are water and DIHYDROXYACETONE (aka DHA). If you let me know what specific ingrediant you are trying to avoid I can let you know if it's listed on the Mystic Tan product in question, or you can visit http://labels.mystictan.com/default.aspx?langid=1&siteid=2, and click Product Line on the left and view the listings for "Sunless Spray" and "Sunless Lotion" to see ingrediants on the two primary self-tanners that we sell in our salons. Also feel free to drop in to any of our locations in Atlanta or call 866-970-8267 for more info.
