spray tan with nut allergy

[brownasaberry]

Hi everyone,just a quick question-does anyone know if spray tan solution contains nut extracts,as I have a client whos said that she has heard some solutions do and she has a nut allergy.I use La Tan and cant see any ingredients on the bottle that looks like it might be nut related?
Has anyone got any ideas?thanx in advance.X

Normally this would be listed as walnut oil, or possibly juglone (which is a chemical present in walnut oil which stains the skin in much the same way as lawsone in henna does, as the two are chemically related). I seem to remember that these were present in "express" spray tan formulas as opposed to standard spray tan formulas which would contain dihydroxyacetone (DHA) and erythulose as the active ingredients - which should not normally be derived from nuts.
