Michael

Thank you very much for the post of support. We have several customers, Michael being one of course, who are very influential in the tanning industry. I always felt selecting someone, as a vendor was the best type of compliment especially in an industry with a lot of competition.

Chris, who is quickly becoming both influential, and a customer, after one or two Vodkas for her, a couple Tall (unstable) glasses of red wine for Amy , and a few Bombay Sapphire/tonics for me, had us off on a conversation about lotion ingredients.

Well our topic, ventured off into the World or DHA (Dihydroxyacetone), and other self-tanning ingredients used in Tanning lotions. For more information on DHA see this other thread… http://www.tantalk.com/forum/viewtopic.php?topic=2323070&forum=38

My point during our dinner conversation was that several products on the market have ingredients listed on the label, for the sole point of listing them on a label and adding marketability to the products… DHA is a good example of one of these because, everyone recognizes this ingredient as a self-tanner and there are a lot of products that are being marketed as a “bronzer” and charging more for the product because of it. When in reality just by looking at the label, DHA could not be stable in the formula, thus, unless there is some exclusion given these products from the laws of chemical interactions, chances are you are buying the ingredient on the label and not the effect it has in the formula and the resulting product.

I think these are good topics and help separate fact from fiction, and maybe not best discussed in an open forum venue.

Chris, I will see if I can’t talk Amy into joining in at some point as well on some of our discussions…. More often that not she is at the Hospital, doing rounds, or on call, being Dr. Amy the Clinical Pharmacist, making money to support us while I am over here playing around with this little hobby I started called Formulated Solutions.. But, she loves this stuff as well,and I am sure would help answer any questions, about her favorite topic...Drugs....
