As predicted, Good Morning America's revelation that spray tanning could be harmful, has left a lot of frustrated people in its wake. Now, CTPA (Cosmetic, Toiletry and Perfumery Association) have spoken out in support of the industry,
CTPA say that the European Commission's independent expert scientific committee, the SCCS, has reviewed the self-tanning ingredient DHA. The SCCS looked at data to support the use of DHA in cosmetic formulations, especially that used in spray tanning booths, and confirmed that it, "will not pose a risk to the health of the consumer."
The CTPA have also highlighted the rigorous processes set in place to monitor the manufacture and import of all cosmetic products. Strict safety laws are in place and all products undergo a safety assessment before they can be brought to market.
Spray tanning manufacturers have spent the past week reassuring anxious and worried clients. Chris Johnson, MD of Aviva Labs sunless products says, "There are no new facts contained in the ABC piece. The research being referred to was done in 1999."
