Rep Power: 0 | Watch out for nut allergies Hi all! Just wanted to let everyone know to NOT spray clients with nut allergies. I know Fantasy Tan has nut oils especially in their Chocolate and Sunset formulations and I'm sure other brands might too. Just be sure to check the ingredients and ask each client before you spray, otherwise the end result could be disastrous! |

Re: Watch out for nut allergies Quote:
In extreme cases of adverse reactions the customer could well wind up in hospital. Here in the UK we advise all therapists to undertake a "patch test" to all new customers or if switching solution . This patch test is ideally taken 24 hrs prior to treatment however up to half an hr before is adequate. Simply dip an ear bud in solution and dab behind the ear...if an adverse reaction is to occur this wont take long to show its ugly face..the first signs are redness..prickly heat spots and irritation. This safety procedure only takes a moment and demonstrates a professional approach to the job at hand and shows your customer that you have their best interests in mind. | ||

Rep Power: 0 | Re: Watch out for nut allergies wowsers! Thanks so much for this informative post! I am allergic/sensitive to nuts (checking all my solutions ingredients now), and luckily havent had any adverse reactions. I also plan on adding "Do you have any nut allergies?" to my client information sheets. |

Rep Power: 0 | Re: Watch out for nut allergies Yes we have had a few requests to put nut oils in our formulas to which we have declined due to this problem. The only nuts we have in our plant are the ones are the two legged kind (like me!) LOL GK |
