Well straight away it needs to be pointed out that SunFX products contain NO Parabens. As a company we have some serious doubts about parabens and therefore decided that we would never use parabens in our products.

So what are parabens you might ask?

Parabens are preservatives that are extensively used in many cosmetics and beauty products. They have been around for many years, but it has only been fairly recently that people have started to take notice of them.

There has been little hard evidence to prove any of the theories that have been tossed around in relation to parabens. Whilst there are suspicions, not enough scientific studies have been done to prove any of them conclusively. Therefore comments made in this article should only be taken as observations and opinions, not as hard evidence one way or the other.

That being said, there is growing suspicion in the scientific community that products containing parabens may indeed have an adverse effect on our health. This is mainly due to the fact that parabens are considered to be estrogenic, meaning that they can behave like estrogens, or can be mistaken by the body to actually be estrogens. Excessive estrogen build up can result in fluid retention and weight gain, but more significantly, they can also interfere with the hormonal system.

This disruption to the hormonal system is thought to impact adversely on fertility, particularly amongst developing male foetuses when paraben rich cosmetics are used by pregnant mothers. There is also some suspicion that parabens may in the future be found to cause some forms of cancer, in particular breast cancer.

Parabens have also been suspected of causing allergic reactions and possibly even dermatitis. It is often recommended that people with particularly sensitive skin should avoid using any products that contain parabens.

So whilst currently there seems to be a lack of scientific evidence to fully support these theories, at SunFX we don’t believe that it’s worth taking any chances. For that reason, we are committed to not using parabens in our products. Of course this benefits your business, particularly as consumers become more aware of the potential risks of parabens. By stocking SunFX products, you can safely tell your clients that the SunFX products that they are purchasing from you are free from parabens.

They are paying at the counter when they ask you “Is there any way that I can extend my tan between visits?”‘ Smiling you place a tube of Summer’s Secret in front of them and collect their money.

Of course your client is going to be completely delighted with the results of Summer’s Secret, because it not only extends their professional salon tan, but it also hydrates their skin and can even build a tan from scratch. It glides on beautifully and leaves no streaking as it blends into the skin.

So what makes Summer’s Secret such a successful body product? Well it’s tempting to say ‘That’s a secret” and leave it at that, but we wouldn’t do that to you…

The secret actually lies in the Dihydroxyacetone that we use. Dihydrowhatsit? I hear you ask. Well allow me to explain …

Dihydroxyacetone, or DHA as it’s more commonly referred to, is a 100% natural tanning agent that reacts with the amino acids in the skin to produce a rich, completely natural looking tan. Unlike some other products in the market, Summer’s Secret uses the purest form of DHA in the world, which is why it manages to produce consistently stunning looking tans.

Essentially an elite quality, salon grade tanning moisturiser, Summer’s Secret has proven to be a massive hit with consumers. So much so that we have had to dramatically increase production just to keep up with the demand.

So if you want a product that you can trust, that will give your clients the sort of results that will have them raving to their friends, then look no further than Summer’s Secret – simply the best tanning moisturiser in the world.
