Re: Need info on the spray tanning being dangerous topic...

have been reading Dr. Mercola's health journals for a few years and I really like him and alot of things that he has brought to my attention. However, he does have quite a few things that he sells. Almost all of his articles follow with a corresponding product to sell. Something to keep in mind. He is also an extremist. You can go to his website and read his old newsletters and get a good feel for him. I believe he is also a scientologist who has a lot of "new age" ideas about negative feelings and energy making you sick and getting rid of emotional scars to heal your self physically. Again, I like his overall general messages but he will have you afraid of your own shadow if you take everything he says to be 100% accurate.

I have not had time to read any of the links here yet. Can anyone briefly tell me where the lead, aresenic and mercury come from? Are they within certain ingredients? Are they put straight into the solutions under different names? Does it happen when dha is extracted? Is it small amounts in the water? I don't want to be ex posed to the elements but they are in water, seafood, nail polish, hair dyes and probably alot of other things too.

There can be trace amounts of lead, arsenic, and mercury found in dihydroxyaecetone.

Dr. Mercola recommended people going to reputable tanning salons for 7 years before adding tanning lamp stuff to his site.

Eileen, there have been people who state this, but I want to know exactly WHERE you are getting your info from.

Or if anyone else can tell me their source for this info, please chime in.

Re: Need info on the spray tanning being dangerous topic...

I believe it's right on the FDA's website. Have you looked there?

Re: Need info on the spray tanning being dangerous topic...

tint, that info is from the FDA's list of allowable parts per million in dihydroxyacetone. Its comparable to a glass of tap water. There are so many allowable parts per million arsenic, lead, and mercury in a glass of water. We are going to have a hard time avoiding heavy metals, they are everywhere. I am trying to find a link.

Re: Need info on the spray tanning being dangerous topic...

I'm more worried about glycols. Not parts per million stuff. Glycols are used for moisturizers but actually dry out the skin in the long run. You need 20% moisturizer to make a sunless solution , so I hope that doesn't mean that sunless solution is 20% propylene glycol! Yikes! Anyone one out there know?

Re: Need info on the spray tanning being dangerous topic...

I know the arsenic, mercury and lead is why spring water is such a BIG BUSINESS. Do you drink tap water?
