Bronzers containing caffeine?

Yesterday I had a woman who came in and wanted a lotion that didn't contain caffiene. She has a severe allergy to caffiene and cannot injest it or use any product that may contain it. Anyway, she told me that her doctor said all tanning lotions that have bronzers contain caffiene. I've never heard of this before. I know some lotions contain caffiene because it's used as a firming agent, but it's always listed in the ingredients. I checked several of my lotions that contain bronzers and don't specifically say anti-aging or firming on the bottle, and I didn't see caffiene listed as an ingredient.

Also, she mentioned that she use to use CT Helix a long time ago and I told her I could order it in if she wanted it. She was concerned it might contain caffiene, but I'm not sure because I don't carry this product and I don't know too much about it. Does anyone know whether or not it does?

Re: Bronzers containing caffiene?

I know companies are not allowed to patent formulas which means they dont have to list all ingredients but Caffeine is a basic ingredient, it should be listed if its in there.

Re: Bronzers containing caffiene?

her dr. is relating caffeine to being a brown color. there are many lotions (bronzers included) that contain no caffeine. i'll post a few as soon as a get to the salon. :)

Re: Bronzers containing caffiene?

Helix comes with or without bronzer, I just checked both bottles and neither said it had caffeine in it. Helix with bronzer is new this year, it wasnt an option until now.

Re: Bronzers containing caffiene?

I talked to my rep and she also confirmed that caffiene is not listed as an ingredient. However there is an ingredient called TRS2000 or something like that and apparently it's a "secret" as to what that is. She didn't think it would contain caffiene, but there is no guarentee.

Re: Bronzers containing caffiene?

Would CalTan be able to tell you? its not like your asking for the entire secret ingredients, just if it has caffeine in it because you have a client who is allergic and you would like to offer them something from their line.

Re: Bronzers containing caffiene?

I'm pretty sure Tanology lotions are caffeine free. Todd would be able to tell you for sure. :)

Re: Bronzers containing caffiene?

I know Kola Nut is caffeine, it might be hard to get all the names weeded out! :)

Re: Bronzers containing caffiene?

Wow. I didn't know there were so many names for caffeine.

My rep is going to send me some free samples of the products and I talked to my customer and she said she'd try a bit on her skin first to see if she has a reaction.

Thanks for all the help.
