2. Is it safe? Yes, when applied properly following FDA regulations. DHA is not to be applied to mucous membranes such as lips, female genitalia, opened eyes or especially inhaled. If you go to a salon that does not provide a ventilation system such as our “Eliminator” series unit you should turn around and leave. Mist on shower type booth operators should always provide you with nose filters to protect against inhalation since the spray cannot be controlled. The FDA has had many complaints of respiratory distress, dizziness, nausea, and fainting from inhaling over spray. In most cases DHA is not the culprit causing these reactions, it is other ingredients used to aid in penetration of the skin that are potentially harmful. DHA has been FDA approved since 1977. The approval is based on the fact that any harmful ingredients remaining from the refining process could not be absorbed into the blood stream through your skin. Since the advent of spray on tanning in all its forms the rules are now changing. Additionally, modern science has now realized that the skin is the largest organ of the body and what we apply to it can actually be causing problems through absorption. It is important that you understand exactly what you are working with to protect not only yourself but also your clients. Scentual Sun products contain none of these ingredients and are globally approved. This information is also covered thoroughly in our training.
