Chapter 5:  Choosing The Right Airbrush Tanning Solution (cont.)

Recently some of you already in the business have experienced this problem with your solutions. In talking with some of what are now Scentual Sun customers, these problems occurred with varying product labels produced by the same manufacturer thus proving the point I made earlier. Scentual Sun developed and owns its own airbrush tanning formulas and has direct control over their manufacture and consistency. We produce our formulas in small batches ensuring consistency and the freshest products available. All of Scentual Sun's products are manufactured in fully insured labs backed by millions of dollars in product liability insurance. Why is this important? Because if you ever have a problem with a client that potentially files a lawsuit against you or your business you don't have to worry about losing everything provided the case is made.

The active tanning ingredient in all Scentual Sun products, and the only FDA approved sunless tanning ingredient is Dihydroxyacetone, commonly referred to as DHA. DHA is the most expensive ingredient in all tanning formulas with the exception of Erythrulose, a subject that I will cover later. Many formulas utilize polymers and solvents to aid in skin penetration and reduce the need for higher DHA content thus reducing manufacturing cost. Many of these ingredients can be detrimental to your health whether inhaled or absorbed through the skin. There is a big problem with this approach. The solvents as well as DHA are approved for topical application only by the FDA but not for atomized inhalation. Many of these penetrating agents can be harmful and irritating when atomized by the airbrush and inhaled by the technician and the customer.
