Someone already did that and sparked this conversation.
Spray manufacturers started it too. They came onto the scene and touted spray to be the "Safe Alternative" in their advertising. That was the first knife in the back of the tanning industry from a sub industry that jumped on tannings coat tails and rode it home all the while advertising that it was the "Safe Alternative" to UV tanning.
No one ever stopped them either. FDA ruling says that wee cannot promote UV as safe or advertise the benefits but there are no guidelines for spray.
Everyone started to embrace this new technology and in the meantime watched the industry take a major hit and it has never recovered from it. Now the sunscare coalition is in full force today. We don't need trunk Slammers® coming here and further bastardizing the industry with more propaganda about UV tanning, the very same industry that they ride on for profit.
Let's face it, directly spraying chemicals onto the skin is bad for you. Especially chemicals that contain mercury, lead, and arsenic. Just not a good thing.
UV is natural, DHA is not.
