FDA Complinace For Safer Tanning

We have come to see celebrity bodies as the prototype of the ideal image, which affects how we see ourselves.. Size has been focused on as size zero became popularised by the fashion industry. Various brands like Dove body care have celebrated bodies in all shapes and sizes while the catwalk refuses to let anyone with a BMI higher than a child’s on the runway. But size is not the only way our view of the perfect body has changed.

Pale skin used to be seen as virtuous and beautiful, with women going out of their way to protect their skin from colour changing UV rays. We now see a tan as an essential beauty accessory, like nail varnish or mascara. This can lead to bad health practices as well as higher rates of body disorders, with girls changing what they naturally look like so they can fit in with what is deemed to be ‘normal’.

The UK has seen a massive increase in tanning products and now pills and injections claim to give us a tan from the inside. This isn’t like eating too many carrots however; this is the digestion of chemicals and additives that can have serious side effects when too much is taken into the body. Tanning pills do not comply with the regulations set out by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and they can be seized and destroyed if found.

Tanning pills usually contain the additive canthaxanthin. It is used as a colour additive in food but the amounts are tiny. If too much is taken, orange brown patches can appear on the skin. Not only can this lead to patchy skin but there are some extremely dangerous and harmful side effects. One is canthaxanthin-induced retinopathy, where crystals form in the eyes. Whilst the damage can be reversed, it can take months if not years for vision to be completely restored. You could also experience itching, sickness, diarrhoea and stomach pain.

In countries that use FDA compliance procedures, it is illegal to produce and sell tanning pills. Trying to import, buy or sell tanning pills in these areas could be classed as a criminal offence and individual cases are dealt with by the FDA governing body.
