ARE THE SUNFX TANNING SOLUTIONS
SAFE TO USE?
SunFX is always putting the comfort and health of its clients and salons rst. Our own research
and the research from many internationally respected laboratories over the last 30 years has
indicated that DHA is an relatively safe product and current research shows that it is unlikely
DHA can be absorbed through the skin. Other ingredients found in our SunFX Premium Tanning
Solutions are naturally based.
SHOULD CLIENTS BE PROVIDED WITH ANY FORMS OF
PROTECTION?
Recently attention has been given to the safety of spray tanning especially in the USA where spray
tanning is enjoyed by millions of clients. For instance, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in
the United States has responded by making certain recommendations. However, it is important
to note that these are exclusively related to the huge increase in the use of automatic spray
booths for spray tanning. It is also important to note that these recommendations are only for the
territories dened within the United States of America as no other regulatory body elsewhere in
the world has taken this stance. These automatic booths often use a complete saturation method
and rely on the client to remove excess tanning solution after exiting the booth. Many of these
booths allow the clients to breathe in the remaining mist until it is evacuated from the booth. Many
early booths still in use provided little or no evacuation of excess tanning mist. There was some
concern from the FDA that the spray solutions could penetrate and be absorbed into the mucous
membranes of the eye, nose and lips. They have advised clients to ask for suitable eye protection,
nasal plugs and to wear lip balm when using these booths. ( It is good to note that at this point in
time the FDA does not have in it’s possession any test data to provide any substantiation of these
claims indicating that DHA absorption into the body is unsafe.)
MANUAL APPLICATION VS AUTOMATIC BOOTHS
The application process by a manual application like that used by SunFX does not use a
saturation method that is used by common automatic spray booths. The SunFX method utilises
a careful and light application instead. Our High Volume Low Pressure (HVLP) spray technology
holds atomised particles within the air stream. This technology substantially reduces overspray,
keeping airborne particles to a minimum. The extensive training provided to SunFX therapists aids
in the most efcient methods for spray tanning.
However, SunFX recommends having eye protection (usually thin solarium goggles are ne) nasal
plugs and lip balm on hand in the event a client requests one or all of these.
