• If an item you ordered is out of stock, we will ship your product as soon as it becomes available. However, there may be times when the product you have ordered is back ordered, which will delay fulfilling your order. We will keep you informed of any products that you have ordered that are out-of-stock, back ordered, or unavailable for immediate shipment. You may cancel your order at any time prior to shipping.

• Your total price for the products will be stated on your invoice and order receipt. Terms of payment are within the Service’s sole discretion, and unless otherwise agreed to by the Service, payment must be received by the Service prior to Service’s acceptance of an order.  Payment for the products must be made by credit card, debit card, PayPal, or some other prearranged payment method.  Currently, the Service does not accept money orders, cashier’s checks, personal checks, or company checks as a form of acceptable payment, unless otherwise specifically approved.

Returns & Exchanges

All spray tan solution, self-tanning products, and aftercare sales are final. There are no refunds or exchanges due to change of mind or ordering the wrong product. So please double check your cart before completing your order.  If you are unsure about a product it is highly recommended that you order a sample before placing a full-size order.

 

We can not guarantee results on spray tan solution or self-tanning products as there are many factors beyond our control that will affect the outcome- for example, application method, level of application skill, amount of product applied, skin conditions, hormonal or medication issues, amount of time before showering, additional body care products, etc.

 

If a solution is damaged please contact us within 24 hours of receipt and must include a picture of the damaged packaging. Item will be exchanged for the same product. You can not exchange a damaged product for a different product.  Items damaged in transit require a picture of the damage sent to The Shady Sun within 24 hours of receiving the shipment for investigation and consideration for a refund.

 

For any type of return, the buyer is responsible for shipping fee for the return and there will be no refunds in shipping fees to and from. There is also a potential 25% restocking fees on all returns,

 

If you purchase from a distributor you must adhere to their company policy. The Service will not participate in the return and exchange of products purchased through third-party distributors.

FDA & DHA

Sunless tanning delivers a cosmetic glow by coating your skin with the chemical dihydroxyacetone (DHA). DHA interacts with the dead surface cells in the epidermis to darken skin color and simulate a tan, and the result usually lasts for several days.

While the FDA allows DHA to be "externally applied" for skin coloring, there are restrictions on its use. DHA should not be inhaled, ingested, or exposed to areas covered by mucous membranes including the lips, nose, and areas in and around the eye because the risks, if any, are unknown. According to the CFR, "externally applied" cosmetics are those "applied only to external parts of the body and not to the lips or any body surface covered by mucous membrane" (21 CFR 70.3v). The industry has not provided safety data to FDA in order for the agency to consider approving it for use on these exposure routes, including "misting" from tanning booths.

 

"Warning--This product does not contain a sunscreen and does not protect against sunburn. Repeated exposure of unprotected skin while tanning may increase the risk of skin aging, skin cancer, and other harmful effects to the skin even if you do not burn." (21 CFR 740.19)

 

What Does This Mean For The Sunless Process?
When using products containing DHA, it may be a challenge to avoid exposure in a manner for which DHA was not originally approved, including contact with the area of the eyes, lips or mucous membrane, or even internally. Because of this, the FDA suggests consumers ask the following questions when considering commercial facilities where DHA is applied by spraying or misting:

• Are consumers protected from exposure on the lips and all parts of the body covered? 

• membrane? MucousAre consumers protected from exposure in the entire area of the eyes, in addition to the eyes themselves?

• Are consumers protected from internal exposure caused by inhaling or ingesting the product?

If the answer to any of these questions is “no,” the FDA says that the consumer is not protected from the use of sunless products. In this case, the FDA suggests that the consumers request measures to protect their eyes and mucous membranes and prevent inhalation.

 

What Does This Mean For The Technician Applying Sunless?

Sunless airbrush technicians must take extra care in informing clients to avoid breathing the sunless product during the application process. Consumers also should try to avoid direct application of the product into the eye area as described above, and use a lip balm or other barrier product on the lips and in the nostrils to avoid contact with the mucous membrane. The FDA’s cautious opinion on DHA most likely stems from relying on limited information found in the product’s Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) originating in 1973. From its original use as a topical substance, DHA was listed with three “risk numbers”:

• R38 Irritating to skin.

• R37 Irritating to respiratory system.

• R36 Irritating to eyes.

These risk numbers are based on pure forms of DHA with no other additives considered such as water and so on. 

 

To best take advantage of the bronzing effects of sunless products in its newest form, prudent sunless airbrush/HVLP technicians should use care when offering sunless in a spray or mist application. Protect their lips with lip balm or petroleum jelly. Have your clients avoid getting this and other tanning products directly into their eyes. Disposable eye protection may be a good option. A nose filter can be used to protect the mucous membrane and also to provide inhalation protection. You can also offer a disposable face mask for extra protection. Disposable undergarments can be used to protect the more private mucous membranes. Ensure proper ventilation for staff and clients in the sunless application area of your salon. An overspray booth or overspray fans with filters should be set up to remove overspray in the air. Spray equipment should not be set up near intakes for the salon’s ventilation system. Although the sunless solution contains no known toxins, the repeated inhalation may cause irritation, as it would be with any substance. Common sense would dictate professional technicians wear a filtering mask while spraying clients.
