7-dehydrocholesterol in tanning lotions

Double-U® · 05-24-2007, 05:06 PM

Hello everybody,

Greetings from Ukraine :)

This afternoon I had a very interesting conversation with a Dr in physics (she is specialized in Vitamin D synthesis by UV radiation) and we were discussing the use of 7-dehydrocholesterol (pre vitamin D³) in tanning lotions.
Does anybody know which tanning lotions manufacturers use 7-dehydrocholesterol and if so, what is the name of that particular lotion.
Thank you very much for your attention and replies!

Interesting.

I actually remember that there are one of the Fiji Blend lotions that does.

Let me do a little research and see what I can find.

I believe it is the Omega 3 although I cannot find the exact ingredient, it states that the Pro-Vitamin D interfaces with UV light to saturate the user.

Sounds good, but Fiji, needs to offer more lotions WITHOUT bronzers. I AM SICK OF BRONZERS, for pete's sake. Get back to REAL tanning and the basics... Please.

ps. I should state that I so like fiji products LESS THE BRONZERS

Fiji offers several products without Bronzers,

Tantric, Decadence, Naked Truth, Hidden Treasures, Impulse to name a few...

But that wasn't the question.

I am curious if anyone found the answer to this. I looked up this chemical (7-dehydrocholesterol) and I guess it is found in the bloodstream and is converted to vitamin D in the sun? I found a prescription cream with it in it, but not a tanning lotion.

Double U, did she say it actually was in a tanning lotion?

From the FijiBlend website Ingredient list: PRO-VITAMIN D - A cholesterol derivative important in the synthesis of vitamin D. Works specifically with ultra-violet light to produce vitamin D3.

I know I have a moisturizer that has vitamin D listed in the ingredients.
