noreply@blogger.com (STAND Tanning) — Sat, 01 Dec 2012 20:39:00 +0000

We are pleased to announce that our 5 Atlanta salons are now known as (STAND) UV & Spray Tanning!

(STAND) UV & Spray Tanning salons are unlike any other tanning salon you'll find. (STAND) features UV-Free spray tan options such as the automated Mystic Tan as well as customized airbrush spray tan by Norvell. (STAND) also features 4 levels of vertical UV tanning options, including high pressure tanning which produces some of the fastest most beautiful results in UV tanning.

WHY (STAND)? Customers choose to tan indoors because they want to look good. But they choose to (STAND) because they want to accomplish that goal quickly, in a cleaner environment, using our state of the art stand up booths that are significantly more efficient than lay down beds. Customers choose to (STAND) because they choose SUBSTANCE over STYLE. And as a result, we will not (STAND) for lay down beds any longer! We reject the beach themes and gimmicks of yesterday's tanning bed salon and demand a true 360 degree tan!

(STAND) UV & Spray Tanning salons are open 7 days a week with no appointments to make! Best of all, any tan purchased at one (STAND) Tanning salon can be used hassle-free at our other locations for free!

Norvell responds to ABC's Good Morning America story on spray tanning

noreply@blogger.com (STAND Tanning) — Fri, 15 Jun 2012 13:45:00 +0000

(reprinted from Norvell's "Open Letter to Norvell Colleagues and Associates" e-mail dated 6/14/12)

June 14th, 2012

AN OPEN LETTER TO NORVELL COLLEAGUES AND ASSOCIATES

The anticipated ABC story on spray tanning safety has now been aired. I expect there will be many thoughtful responses to the story from the spray tanning industry and the cosmetics industry in the coming days correcting the many errors in the report and providing incontrovertible evidence of the safety of spray tanning. For the present, however, I would like to give you a brief overview of the information now available.

Perhaps the best place to start is the open letter which Norvell distributed on May 29, 2012, providing a summary of the situation as it existed at that time. You may have received a copy. If not, you may view the letter online http://www.norvelltanning.com/2012DHAFDALetter.html.

Moving on to the ABC report, the reporter relied heavily on a 2006 FDA Product Information Publication. The FDA Publication, while helpful, and which I recommend you read (it can be viewed online at http://www.fda.gov/Cosmetics/ProductandIngredientSafety/ProductInformation/ucm134064.htm) is wildly misconstrued and misrepresented by the reporter. In reviewing the Publication you should keep in mind the following:

• The FDA Publication is not a finding that DHA and spray tanning are harmful. It points out that DHA, the ingredient in question, has long been accepted for topical application. It is recommended users should take care to protect the eyes, the nose and lips. This approach has been embraced by Norvell. We provide products for customers to protect the potentially affected areas and encourage everyone to follow the recommendations. The important thing is that, contrary to the impression presented by the ABC reporter, the FDA has not found DHA used in spray tanning to be harmful.

• The FDA Publication is not the most current information on this subject. A more comprehensive report published December 14, 2010, by the European Commission Scientific Committee on Consumer Safety is available online at http://ec.europa.eu/health/scientific_committees/consumer_safety/docs/sccs_o_048.pdf. While the study is lengthy, and should be reviewed in its entirety, I recommend that you at least take a look at the study’s conclusions on page 32. In summary, the report says that based upon the available information, the Scientific Committee on Consumer Safety considers that the use of DHA as a self-tanning agent in spray tanning up to a 14% concentration will not pose a risk to the health of the consumer. All Norvell spray products are at a concentration significantly less than 14%.

• The reporter chose to acknowledge, but then ignore, a detailed letter sent to the reporter by Merck Pharmaceuticals pointing out the errors in one of the reporter’s key studies used in his report to reference the potential negative effects of DHA on DNA . I invite you to read the Merck Pharmaceuticals response, a copy of which is attached. Clearly, the reporter only wanted information which slanted the story in the direction he wanted to go.

http://attachment.benchmarkemail.com/c48514/2012-05-21_Statement_Gentox_Wulf_version_2.pdf

While we are on the subject of the reporter’s point of view, I want to point out that the central issue is, and remains, consumer safety, and I have no doubt that ABC, and the reporter, are genuinely concerned about consumer safety. I think it is unfortunate, however, that the way this particular story was put together indicates that the reporter, while interested in safety, was more interested in sensationalism. For example, I invite you to view industry spokesman Joe Levy’s YouTube presentation at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zrT2eIzjoME. Joe explains the way in which his interview with the reporter was staged and then edited. Instead of being a good faith effort to obtain information on this subject, the interview turned out to be an “ambush” with the apparent goal being to present as sensational and unflattering a view of the sunless tanning industry as possible, no matter what the actual facts might be.

It is also noteworthy that the reporter chose to make no reference in the report to any of the major cosmetic companies, such as Neutrogena, Clinique, Banana Boat and many others, who have been selling aerosol cans of spray tanning products with DHA for years. These products are indistinguishable from the spray tanning industry products, yet not one word about those products. I am happy for those companies since, their products, like our products, are safe. I am curious though, why, if the reporter truly believes our products are unsafe, he gave a pass to the major cosmetic companies. At the risk of appearing cynical, I can’t help but think it may have been because it is much harder to ambush multi-million dollar advertisers on your network.

In summary, sunless spray tanning is safe. The best available research supports this conclusion. The ABC report is an aberration which is unfair to our industry and which will have no lasting effect.

Sincerely,

Rick Norvell

President

Hollywood Tans Atlanta comments on Self Tanning | 11 Alive News

noreply@blogger.com (STAND Tanning) — Wed, 13 Jun 2012 15:06:00 +0000

Kelly, the manager of the Hollywood Tans in Sandy Springs, does an excellent job of demonstrating a UV-free Mystic Tan, and also comments on safety conerns of DHA, the active ingrediant in self tanner, as well as the FDA's advisories regarding self tanner and Hollywood Tans products available to protect consumers from inhaling self tanner. 11 Alive news reporter Duffy Dixon interviews Kelly, as well as an unnamed doctor who cites a mysterious study allegedly shows a link between usage of DHA and alterations of animals DNA. The doctor does not give the source or date of the study, however after scaring viewers with allegations of DNA alterations, she does conclude that it's "... in the right settings it's probably OK to continue your spray tans." Hollywood Tans however supplied 11 Alive with this study, done by the European Commission in 2010, which concluded after extensive study that "the use of Dihydroxyacetone (DHA) as a self-tanning ingredient in spray cabins... will not pose a risk to the health of the consumer."
