Rep Power: 0 DarkAngel is on a distinguished road
When I purchased my salon a few of my tanners used Venom. It seemed like a competition for a select few...
"I use this lotion cuz it's the hottest on the market..."
"Well, I use Venom, it's so hot, it can't even be stored in a plastic bottle..." etc, etc....
I try to remind my customers that not every lotion is right for every person....
BUT....
Do any of you have experience with Venom? a few of my customers have asked if I'm going to carry it.... What is in it that makes it burn through plastic? Is this healthy??
Any comments would be appreciated...

So, no one knows anything about Venom? I'm really not comfortable with a product that melts plastic and nobody can tell me why...

I heard something about this product a few years ago, cant remember what the big deal was. But it does have a ingredient that causes the heart to flutter, be very careful. IF you cant put it in plastic means it cant be to good for the skin.

Yeah, it does sound scary. I've informed the clients who are asking that I will not be carrying this product for now. I have some other samples of lotions put out by the same company and the list of ingredients on each ends with "other ingredients". I will continue to look into it when I can but until I can find out exactly what is in it I will not be selling it to my clients.

Interesting since Theory is supposed to be so much hotter than Venom.Maybe it's just a marketing gimmick not to bottle it in plastic.I've never used either of these but Ultimate's Spy was rather hot.In the itchy way.

Definitely not just a gimmick. When previous owners of my salon tried to put Venom into plastic cups for clients to sample, it melted through in minutes leaving a mess all over the counter. There is definitely something in there that melts through plastic. My question still remains "What is it?" We still have samples of Ultimates Voodoo in our inventory. They came with the salon when I bought it. I don't feel comfortable selling even these samples until I know what their "other ingredients" consist of...
